Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Unexplained syncope and palpitations are common chief complaints in the outpatient department of cardiology. Their sporadic and unpredictable poses significant diagnostic challenges. Implantable cardiac monitors (ICMs) can monitor arrhythmia events efficiently, and can overcome the shortcomings of traditional electrocardiogram (ECG)

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus node disease (SND) represents a potentially reversible concomitant condition. Initial treatment with catheter ablation (CA) aimed at restoration of sinus rhythm may provide an alternative to pacemaker implantation. In this case series, 15 elderly patients (>65 years) with AF and SND underwent CA,

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recommended in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). In patients with coexisting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), clinicians may be hesitant to treat SND due to concerns about exacerbating heart failure.

Ventricular Tachycardia in the Absence of Structural Heart Disease [PDF]
In up to 10% of patients who present with ventricular tachycardia (VT), obvious structural heart disease is not identified. In such patients, causes of ventricular arrhythmia include right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) VT, extrasystoles, idiopathic ...

Cardiac Memory-induced T-wave Inversions [PDF]
, 2020 Introduction: Cardiac memory refers to T-wave inversions that result when normal ventricular activation resumes following a period of abnormal ventricular activation.Case Report: We present a case of a 29-year-old man with a pacemaker who presented with ...

Utilization and Prognosis of Cardiac Device Implantation in AL Versus ATTR Amyloidosis
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Cardiac amyloidosis can cause congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart blocks, which frequently require cardiac device implantation (CDI). However, the differences between light chain (AL) amyloidosis and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis CDI requirements are unknown. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using the

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) are important in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. However, some appropriate ICD therapies may be considered unnecessary, delivered when patients do not experience symptoms of hemodynamic instability such as loss of consciousness.

Atrial Fibrillation and Hyperthyroidism [PDF]
, 2005 Atrial fibrillation occurs in 10 – 15% of patients with hyperthyroidism. Low serum thyrotropin concentration is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Thyroid hormone contributes to arrythmogenic activity by altering the electrophysiological

Long‐Term Outcomes of Radiofrequency Atrioventricular Node Ablation in a Real‐World Population
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.Abstract Background While interventional strategies have expanded the options for long term rhythm restoration, rate control continues to play a pivotal role in the treatment of atrial arrhythmias; however, pharmacologic strategies alone often fail in achieving effective rate control.

Impact of Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Position on Subclinical Right Ventricular Perforation
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Leadless pacemakers are typically implanted in the mid‐septum of the right ventricle (RV) to mitigate the risk of perforation. However, reports on the precise location of these implants are limited. This study aimed to elucidate tine‐based leadless pacemaker position and presence of subclinical RV perforation through computed ...
