The Mathematical Modelling of Inhomogeneities in Ventricular Tissue [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2007
Cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) are the leading cause of death in the industrialised world. There is a growing consensus that these arrhythmias arise because of the formation of spiral waves of electrical activation in cardiac tissue; unbroken spiral waves are associated with VT and broken ones ...

Cardiac Radiosurgery for Malignant Ventricular Tachycardia

open access: yes, 2014
Ventricular tachycardia is a frequent cause of mortality after myocardial infarction. Current treatment includes the implantation of cardioverter defibrillators and adjunctive therapies, such as catheter ablation or cardiac surgery.

Pattern of initiation of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in recorded intracardiac electrograms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background: By analyzing stored intracardiac electrograms during spontaneous monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), we examined the patterns of the VT initiation in a group of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

Incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with an insertable cardiac monitor and symptomatic heart failure

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) was observed in almost half of patients with insertable cardiac monitor and symptomatic heart failure (HF). One‐fourth of the patients had new onset AF and a higher rate of HF events compared with patients without AF. AF incidence was similar in HF patients with preserved versus reduced left ventricular ejection fraction ...

3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance [PDF]

open access: yesP. Fallavollita, " 3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance", International Journal of Computer Science Issues, IJCSI, Volume 4, Issue 2, pp10-19, September 2009", 2009
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has transformed treatment for tachyarrhythmias and has become first-line therapy for some tachycardias. The precise localization of the arrhythmogenic site and the positioning of the RF catheter over that site are problematic: they can impair the efficiency of the procedure and are time consuming (several hours ...

Quality of Life in Patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a life saving device for individuals with life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. There is no doubt that it is a cost effective therapy in various congenital and acquired arrhythmogenic ...

Long‐term outcomes of apixaban as main anticoagulant in patients with HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist devices

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims HeartMate 3 (HM3) left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) offer improved haemocompatibility‐related outcomes for end‐stage heart failure patients, facilitating the exploration of alternative anticoagulation therapies beyond warfarin.
