Long‐Term Serial Exercise Stress Testing in Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia on Beta‐Blocker and Flecainide Therapy

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a potentially life‐threatening arrhythmic disorder typically treated with beta‐blockers and, occasionally, with flecainide. Methods All patients underwent genetic testing, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and exercise testing.

Safety and Utility of Smartphone‐Based Heart Monitors in Pediatric Patients With Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Smartphone heart monitors in pediatric CIEDs: A pilot study. Smartphone heart monitors did not induce EMI in children with CIEDs, enabling reliable heart rate measurement and accurate identification of ventricular non‐captures. ABSTRACT Background Portable heart monitors enable on‐demand electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and enhance symptom‐rhythm ...

Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Structural Heart Disease With LVEF > 35%: Clinical Outcomes and Recurrence Patterns

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and moderately impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF > 35%), data on outcomes after ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation remain limited. This analysis focuses on VT recurrence after ablation in patients presenting with sustained VT and LVEF > 35% within a secondary ...

Terminal S Wave Pattern in Lead V3 as a Simple Marker for Ventricular Tachycardia Risk Stratification in Patients With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) remain at risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT). This risk is most commonly related to slow conduction within the septal isthmus, which is defined as the region between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) patch and adjacent valvular annuli.

Mental Disorders After Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Implantation in Young Individuals

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) has raised concerns about psychological distress in young adults. We evaluated the risk of incident mental disorders after CIED implantation.

QT Interval Evaluation in Right Ventricular Pacing: Validation of a Novel Formula

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background QT interval measurement in the presence of right ventricular pacing (RVP) represents a clinical challenge. We therefore aimed to derive and validate a formula for QT estimation during RVP in a large cohort of pacemaker patients. Methods and Results We prospectively enrolled 100 patients in a derivation cohort and 487 in a validation

Left Ventricular wall Thickness and Decrement Evoked Potentials in Ablation of Ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Preprocedural imaging can improve the success rate of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) measured by cardiac computed tomography (CT) can be used to identify infarct regions. We sought to determine whether an association exists between left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) as obtained ...
