A retrospective study on laboratory‐confirmed acute Chinese medicine poisoning involving aconite in Hong Kong from 2008 to 2020

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Background Territory‐wide epidemiological studies of acute Chinese medicine poisoning involving aconite after 2010 are lacking. Objectives To characterise the latest trends, presumed causes, clinical presentations, healthcare utilisation and patient outcomes of such poisoning cases in Hong Kong.

Efficacy of an alternative positioning of intracardiac defibrillation catheters in atrial fibrillation ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background In pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF), intraoperative defibrillation is often required. Intracardiac defibrillation catheters (ICDCs) are most effective when positioned to enclose the heart between the coronary sinus ...

Safety and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) was evaluated in 479 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 52% paroxysmal. Among 104 patients > 75 years, complication rates and 6‐ and 12‐month arrhythmia‐free survival were not significantly different from younger patients. Age did not predict recurrence. PFA appears safe and effective in elderly AF patients.

Supraventricular Tachycardias Using Multiple Accessory Pathways

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Three atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardias (AVRTs) using 3 accessory pathways (APs) occurred with the His bundle eliminated by the previous ablation. Two AVRTs using 2 right APs rotated reversely, and the other AVRT was one with a retrograde conduction through the left AP and anterograde conduction through the 2 right APs.

Initial treatment of a patient with ventricular tachycardia: Case report [PDF]

ABC: časopis urgentne medicine
Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is defined as any rhythm with more than 120 beats per minute originating distally from the His bundle, in the ventricular myocardium, outside the actual conduction system, and represents a life-threatening arrhythmia.

Can heart rate variability parameters derived by a heart rate monitor differentiate between atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm? [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) parameters, and especially RMSSD (root mean squared successive differences in RR interval), could distinguish atrial fibrillation (AF) from sinus rhythm(SR) in horses, as was demonstrated in a previous study.
