Neuraxial modulation for treatment of VT storm. [PDF]
In the hyperadrenergic state of VT storm where shocks are psychologically and physiologically traumatizing, suppression of sympathetic outflow from the organ level of the heart up to higher braincenters plays a significant role in reducing the propensity

Multiscale studies of delayed afterdepolarizations I: A comparison of two biophysically realistic mathematical models for human ventricular myocytes [PDF]
Focal arrhythmias, which arise from delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs), are observed in various pathophysiological heart conditions; these can lead to sudden cardiac death. A clear understanding of the electrophysiological factors of cardiac myocytes, which lead to DADs, can suggest pharmacological targets that can eliminate DAD-induced arrhythmias ...

Background: Sudden cardiac death is the most frequent death mechanism in Chagas disease, responsible for 55% to 65% of the deaths of patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC).

Method to Annotate Arrhythmias by Deep Network [PDF]
This study targets to automatically annotate on arrhythmia by deep network. The investigated types include sinus rhythm, asystole (Asys), supraventricular tachycardia (Tachy), ventricular flutter or fibrillation (VF/VFL), ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Differentiating Right- and Left-Sided Outflow Tract Ventricular Arrhythmias.
Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias commonly originate from the right ventricular and left ventricular outflow tracts (OTs). Advances in real-time imaging have refined our understanding of the intimate anatomic structures implicated in the genesis of OT ...

Etiological diagnosis, prognostic significance and role of electrophysiological study in patients with Brugada ECG and syncope. [PDF]
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.

Non-invasive topical diagnostics of heart arrhythmias
The aim of this study was to measure the accuracy of noninvasively obtained ventricular activation (isolated epicardial vs combined endo-epicardial mapping) as compared with that of standard invasive mapping in patients with ventricular arrhythmias.

Ventricular Arrhythmias in Cardiac Sarcoidosis
The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), especially in cases where there is limited or no extracardiac involvement, is challenging. Patients with CS are at increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
