Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia: It Is Not Always As It Is Expected [PDF]
Observation of Coincident arrhythmias is not uncommon but the co-existence of idiopathic verapamil sensitive left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) with other arrhythmias is very rare.

Idiopathic Ventricular Arrhythmias Originating from the Left Ventricular Summit: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge. [PDF]
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from the left ventricular summit (LVS) present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to their complex anatomical location. The LVS includes an epicardial area of the left ventricle bordered by major coronary arteries, which has been increasingly recognized as an arrhythmic focus.

Risk factors for recurrent ventricular arrhythmias in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation [PDF]
Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) remains a global threat.1The most common causes of SCD are ischemic heart diseases and structural cardiomyopathies in the elderly. Additional causes can be arrhythmogenic, respiratory, metabolic, or even toxigenic.2,3,4 Despite the novel diagnostic tools and our deeper understanding of pathologies and genetic associations ...

Arrhythmias in Patients With Valvular Heart Disease: Gaps in Knowledge and the Way Forward
The prevalence of both organic valvular heart disease (VHD) and cardiac arrhythmias is high in the general population, and their coexistence is common. Both VHD and arrhythmias in the elderly lead to an elevated risk of hospitalization and use of health ...

Background: Idiopathic VA are traditionally considered benign, although occasional patients develop an ectopy-mediated cardiomyopathy (EMC). It is unclear whether patients with idiopathic VA in the absence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction harbor a ...

A KATP channel opener inhibited myocardial reperfusion action potential shortening and arrhythmias [PDF]
Low concentrations of certain K<sub>ATP</sub> channel openers have been reported to exert a moderate inhibitory effect on arrhythmias during post-ischaemic early myocardial reperfusion, but the accompanying effects on the time course of ...

Monomorphic Ventricular Arrhythmias in Athletes [PDF]
Ventricular arrhythmias are challenging to manage in athletes with concern for an elevated risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) during sports competition. Monomorphic ventricular arrhythmias (MMVA), while often benign in athletes with a structurally normal

Ventricular arrhythmias in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Twenty four hour ambulatory electrocardiograms were recorded in 60 patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis was based on clinical, laboratory, and cardiac catheterisation findings. All patients had a left ventricular ejection fraction less than 0.55; in 39 it was less than 0.40.
