Background—Post-infarct ventricular tachycardia is associated with channels of surviving myocardium within scar characterized by fractionated and low-amplitude signals usually occurring late during sinus rhythm.

Aims Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is characterized by ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). We aimed to develop a model for individualized prediction of incident VA/SCD in ARVC patients. Methods

Bidirectional Ventricular Tachycardia? [PDF]
A 65‐year‐old woman was admitted to the hospital because of a syncopal episode with documented transient complete atrioventricular block. A DDD pacemaker was implanted. Post implantation, the patient was diagnosed with bidirectional ventricular tachycardia. Analysis of the arrhythmia and differential diagnosis is performed.

Every face tells a story-unravelling a case of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia
Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is a rare form of tachycardia. We hereby report a case of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia in an 8-year-old boy wherein careful clinical exami-nation led to the diagnosis of Andersen Tawil syndrome.

The effects of inhomogeneities on scroll-wave dynamics in an anatomically realistic mathematical model for canine ventricular tissue [PDF]
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are lethal rhythm disorders, which are associated with the occurrence of abnormal electrical scroll waves in the heart. Given the technical limitations of imaging and probing, the in situ visualization of these waves inside cardiac tissue remains a challenge.

An Efficient Shock Advice Algorithm based on K-nearest Neighbors for Automated External Defibrillators [PDF]
Shockable rhythms, namely ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, are the main cause of sudden cardiac arrests, which can be detected quickly by the automated external defibrillator (AED) devices. In this paper, a simple but effective algorithm is proposed as the shock advice algorithm applied in AED.

Deep-learning-assisted detection and termination of spiral- and broken-spiral waves in mathematical models for cardiac tissue [PDF]
Unbroken and broken spiral waves, in partial-differential-equation (PDE) models for cardiac tissue, are the mathematical analogs of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, namely, ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular-fibrillation (VF). We develop a (a) deep-learning method for the detection of unbroken and broken spiral waves and (b) the ...

Role of signal averaging of the surface QRS complex in selecting patients with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and high grade ventricular arrhythmias for programmed ventricular stimulation [PDF]
Signal averaging of the surface QRS complex was performed before programmed ventricular stimulation in 53 individuals with high grade ventricular arrhythmias or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, or both. An abnormal signal-averaged electrocardiogram (
