Arrhythmia induction using isoproterenol or epinephrine during electrophysiology study for supraventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Background Electrophysiology study (EPS) is an important part of the diagnosis and workup for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Provocative medications are used to induce arrhythmias, when they are not inducible at baseline. The most common medication

Interventional therapies for chronic heart failure: An overview of recent developments
Abstract Heart failure (HF), the final manifestation of most cardiovascular diseases, has become a major global health concern, affecting millions of individuals. Despite basic drug treatments, patients present with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, recent advancements in interventional therapy have shown promising results in improving the ...

Prevalence of inappropriate sinus tachycardia among patients with sinus tachycardia
Background: The inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a syndrome characterized by increased heart rate with disturbing symptoms without obvious cause. IST is defined as a sinus heart rate > 100 bpm at rest with a mean 24-hour heart rate >90 bpm not due to primary causes and is associated with distressing symptoms. This study aims to assess the

Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...

Considerations for drug trials in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous condition with potentially serious manifestations. Management has traditionally comprised therapies to palliate symptoms and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac death. The need for disease‐modifying therapies has been recognized for decades.

Using skewness and the first-digit phenomenon to identify dynamical transitions in cardiac models [PDF]
Disruptions in the normal rhythmic functioning of the heart, termed as arrhythmia, often result from qualitative changes in the excitation dynamics of the organ.
