Arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse in 2023: Evidence-based update

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may develop ventricular arrhythmias, ranging from premature ventricular contractions through more complex non-sustained ventricular tachycardia to sustained life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.

Recent advances in genetic testing and counseling for inherited arrhythmias

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
Inherited arrhythmias, such as cardiomyopathies and cardiac ion channelopathies, along with coronary heart disease (CHD) are three most common disorders that predispose adults to sudden cardiac death.

Arrhythmias May Hide a Genetic Cardiomyopathy in Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation in Children: A Single-Center Experience

Children
Background. Left ventricular hypertrabeculation (LVHT) is a myocardial disorder with different clinical manifestations, from total absence of symptoms to heart failure, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death (SCD), and thromboembolic events. It is challenging

Arrhythmias in Chronic Kidney Disease

European Cardiology Review, 2022
Arrhythmias cause disability and an increased risk of premature death in the general population but far more so in patients with renal failure. The association between the cardiac and renal systems is complex and derives in part from common causality of ...

MRI-Guided Electrophysiology Intervention

Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2010
Catheter ablation is a first-line treatment for many cardiac arrhythmias and is generally performed under X-ray fluoroscopy guidance. However, current techniques for ablating complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia are

Mechanisms of Chronic Metabolic Stress in Arrhythmias

Antioxidants, 2020
Cardiac arrhythmias are responsible for many cardiovascular disease-related deaths worldwide. While arrhythmia pathogenesis is complex, there is increasing evidence for metabolic causes.

Moderator Band and Ventricular Tachycardia: Structural or Functional Substrate?

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
The moderator band (MB) is an intracavitary structure of the right ventricle composed of muscular fibers encompassing specialized Purkinje fibers, separated each other by collagen and adipose tissue.

Arrhythmic Risk in Elderly Patients Candidates to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Predictive Role of Repolarization Temporal Dispersion

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Background/AimDegenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) is associated to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, as well as mental stress in specific patients. In such a context, substrate, autonomic imbalance as well as repolarization dispersion

Ictal asystole: a case presentation

BMC Neurology, 2018
Background Epileptic seizures can lead to cardiac arrhythmias. The arrhythmias may be in the form of tachycardia, bradycardia or asystole. Ictal bradycardia and asystole can lead to sudden unexpected death.
