Catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation using the CARTO 3 mapping system
Ventricular fibrillation in the absence of structural heart disease represents an important mechanism of sudden cardiac death. It is initiated by triggers originating in the distal Purkinje fibers, arising from either the right or the left ventricle ...

Ventricular divergence correlates with epicardial wavebreaks and predicts ventricular arrhythmia in isolated rabbit hearts during therapeutic hypothermia [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: High beat-to-beat morphological variation (divergence) on the ventricular electrogram during programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS) is associated with increased risk of ventricular fibrillation (VF), with unclear mechanisms.

Atrial fibrillation and electrophysiology in transgenic mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of FKBP12 [PDF]
Cardiomyocyte-restricted overexpression of FK506-binding protein 12 transgenic (αMyHC-FKBP12) mice develop spontaneous atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the present study is to explore the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of AF in αMyHC-FKBP12 ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and N-terminal probrain sodium-uretic peptid level in patients with atrial fibrillation [PDF]
In our study 100 consecutive non-valvular permanent atrial fibrillation patients with NYHA I – III heart failure, 43 - 86 years old (65 men and 35 women) were examined. Control group consisted of 30 patients with arterial hypertension and coronary artery

Unexpected Lethal Complication of Ventricular Fibrillation in Symptom Free Variant Angina Pectoris
We report an unexpected sudden cardiac death due to variant angina complicated by ventricular fibrillation occurring during routine ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring.

Ventricular fibrillation is the most common mechanism of sudden unexpected cardiac death in persons with asymptomatic or symptomatic coronary artery disease. The electrophysiologic mechanisms reviewed in this article include: automaticity of pacemaker fibers, transformation of nonpacemaker into pacemaker fibers, "injury" currents and reentry.

Mechanisms of Ventricular Fibrillation
Transition from a regular supraventricular or ventricular mechanism to fibrillation was recorded utilizing 2 ultramicroelectrodes.Fibrillation in the hypothermic dog heart was preceded by asynchronous repolarization of individual fibers. An early premature beat caused incomplete depolarization of some fibers (local block) and irregular spread of ...

Increased baseline ECG R-R dispersion predicts improvement in systolic function after atrial fibrillation ablation. [PDF]
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction which may improve after AF ablation. We hypothesised that increased ventricular irregularity, as measured by R-R dispersion on the baseline ECG, would ...

Explainable artificial intelligence for heart rate variability in ECG signal
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is one of the most reliable methods to analyse the cardiovascular system. In the literature, there are different deep learning architectures proposed to detect various types of tachycardia diseases, such as atrial ...

Potential Application of Pulsed Field Ablation in Ventricular Arrhythmias
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a new ablative method for the therapy of arrhythmia. Recent preclinical and clinical studies have already demonstrated the feasibility and safety of PFA for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF).
