The Role of Electrophysiologic Study in Device Selection for Leadless Atrial Pacing [PDF]
The AVEIR DR (Abbott Medical) was the first dual-chamber leadless pacing system approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Many patients with sinus node dysfunction have physiologically normal atrioventricular conduction, so an atrial-only pacing ...

Into a Fluoroless Future: an Appraisal of Fluoroscopy-Free Techniques in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology [PDF]
Abstract Purpose of Review There are risks to both patients and electrophysiology providers from radiation exposure from fluoroscopic imaging, and there is increased interest in fluoroscopic reduction. We review the imaging tools, their applications, and current uses to eliminate fluoroscopy.

Emotional stress as a cause of syncope and torsade de pointes in patients with long QT syndrome [PDF]
Introduction. Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a disorder of myocardial repolarization characterized by the prolongation of QT interval and high risk propensity of torsade de pointes (TdP) that can lead to syncope, cardiac arrest and sudden death ...

Advanced imaging for risk stratification for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a leading cause of mortality, comprising approximately half of all deaths from cardiovascular disease. In the US, the majority of SCD (85%) occurs in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and a subset in patients with ...

Basic Concepts of Optical Mapping Techniques in Cardiac Electrophysiology [PDF]
Optical mapping is a tool used in cardiac electrophysiology to study the heart’s normal rhythm and arrhythmias. The optical mapping technique provides a unique opportunity to obtain membrane potential recordings with a higher temporal and spatial resolution than electrical mapping.
