International criteria for electrocardiographic interpretation in athletes: Consensus statement. [PDF]
, 2017 Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of mortality in athletes during sport. A variety of mostly hereditary, structural or electrical cardiac disorders are associated with SCD in young athletes, the majority of which can be identified or ...

A Case of VF Misclassification Corrected by VF Therapy Assurance: Implications for ICD Programming
Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator undersensing may delay therapy in ventricular fibrillation with low‐amplitude signals. Ventricular fibrillation therapy assurance (VFTA) detected persistent VF after initial shock failure, enabling timely shock delivery and successful resuscitation.

Shortness of breath after AV ablation: case of left phrenic nerve palsy [PDF]
, 2013 Phrenic nerve palsy has been recognized as a complication of catheter ablation with a prevalence of 0.11–0.48% after atrial fibrillation ablation, independent of the type of ablation catheter or energy source, likely due to the anatomical ...

Etiological diagnosis, prognostic significance and role of electrophysiological study in patients with Brugada ECG and syncope. [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Syncope is considered a risk factor for life-threatening arrhythmias in Brugada patients. Distinguishing a benign syncope from one due to ventricular arrhythmias is often difficult, unless an ECG is recorded during the episode.

Role of pharmacotherapy in Brugada syndrome [PDF]
, 2004 In patients who undergo aborted sudden cardiac death or syncope of unknown origin (symptomatic Brugada syndrome), no one argues that the implantation of an ICD is the first-line therapy regardless of the findings of the EP study.

When to go epicardially during ventricular tachycardia ablation? Role of surface electrocardiogram. [PDF]
, 2014 Early recognition of ventricular tachycardias (VTs) with epicardial circuits is crucial. Surface electrocardiogram (ECG) suggesting an epicardial origin could guide ablation procedures and increase success rates.
