Flecainide associated torsade de pointes: A potential case of reverse use dependence

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2013
Flecainide has been known to cause torsades de pointes (TdP) in patients with structural heart disease and its mechanism has been attributed to use-dependency.

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.

Wild Type Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy Hidden Under Ablation‐Refractory Atrial Arrhythmias and the Potential Contribution of Tafamidis in Rhythm Control

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
An octogenarian man with a history of multiple catheter ablation failures for atrial fibrillation and tachycardia was diagnosed with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. After 1 year of tafamidis therapy, the patient experienced spontaneous restoration of sinus rhythm, and follow‐up image of 99mTc‐pyrophosphate scintigraphy revealed a marked decrease ...

Oral flecainide is effective in management of refractory tachycardia in infants

Indian Heart Journal, 2013
Background: Propranolol and digoxin have been used as first line drugs for treatment of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in infants. Flecainide and other drugs have been effective as a second line treatment for controlling refractory SVT.

Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia Using the QDOT MICRO Ablation Catheter (VT‐MICRO Study)

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Catheter ablation is useful to treat patients with ventricular tachycardia. QDOT Micro catheter is a next generation catheter designed to provide more efficient lesion creation with an accurate myocardial substrate analysis. Microelectrode mapping allows detection of higher voltage electrograms compared to standard bipolar mapping and Pentaray mapping.

Flecainide use in arrhythmic patients who have structural heart disease

Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety
Background: Current guidelines recommend the use of only on a limited basis in patients with normal or minimal structural heart disease. The CAST study, the only randomized controlled trials, showed increased mortality from long-term flecainide use in ...

Flecainide challenge test: Predictors of unmasking of type 1 Brugada ECG pattern among those with non-type 1 Brugada ECG pattern

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2016
Background: Many subjects in community have non-type 1 Brugada pattern ECG with atypical symptoms, relevance of which is not clear. Provocative tests to unmask type 1 Brugada pattern in these patients would help in diagnosing Brugada Syndrome.

Suspected pro‐arrhythmic effects of flecainide and the limitations of in‐hospital short‐duration electrocardiography in detecting ventricular arrhythmia burden in a dog with dilated cardiomyopathy

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract A 10‐year‐old, female, spayed Pitbull mix presented for evaluation of an arrhythmia. Echocardiography revealed enlargement of all cardiac chambers and decreased left ventricular systolic function. Electrocardiography demonstrated isolated, ventricular premature complexes.

First‐Line Antiarrhythmic Transplacental Treatment for Fetal Tachyarrhythmia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundThere is no consensus on the most effective and best tolerated first‐line antiarrhythmic treatment for fetal tachyarrhythmia. The purpose of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to compare the efficacy, safety, and fetal–maternal ...
