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 ...

Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Symptomatic Sick Sinus Syndrome: A Case Series

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,

Real‐World Treatment of Patients With Sinus Node Dysfunction and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

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 ...

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

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

Incidence and Determinants of Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Therapy With Loss of and Impaired Consciousness

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.

Combination of electrophysiological mapping, radiofrequency catheter ablation, and atrial appendectomy in a 5-year-old girl with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the left atrial appendage (LAA) is uncommon and the most difficult arrhythmia to eliminate. Therefore, we present the case of a 5-year-old girl with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) caused by AT

Incidental Arrhythmias During Atrial Fibrillation Screening With Repeat 7‐Day Holter ECGs in a Hospital‐Based Patient Population

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) may reveal incidental arrhythmias of relevance. The aim of this study was to describe incidental arrhythmias detected during screening for AF in the STAR‐FIB (Predicting SilenT AtRial FIBrillation in ...
