Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-producing tumour originating from adrenal chromaffin cells. Classic clinical presentation includes headache, diaphoresis and palpitation. Syncope is uncommon and may r...
A 16-year-old man presented with short VA supraventricular tachycardia and 2:1 atrioventricular ratio. The correct maneuvers allowed us to guide not only the mechanism but also the probable location of the atr...
Bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia is a unique type of VT that employs both bundles and the ventricular septum as integral components of a re-entrant circuit. It is usually observed in dilated car...
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients under primary care in Hong Kong was yet to be explored. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of AF in patients with DM so as ...
A biological mechanism called inflammation is necessary for reacting to damaging stimuli, but it can also, ironically, play a role in the formation of arrhythmias, or the group of disorders known as arrhythmog...
This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the one-year outcomes of anterior–posterior (AP) and anterior—lateral (AL) methods of cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (AF). A total of 2168 patients were ...
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus, have recently gained attention for their potential cardiovascular benefits. This review explores the ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia affecting millions of individuals worldwide and posing significant challenges to healthcare systems. The growing body of research has uncovered sex-re...
In the context of ARVC, a systematic review of the validation of the ARVC risk score can provide insights into the accuracy and reliability of this score in identifying patients at high risk of ARVC. Digital d...
The muscular discontinuities or lack of myocardial extensions around the pulmonary veins (PVs) antrum were previously reported. The objective of our study was to compare the efficacy of a partial antral ablati...
In patients with non-paroxysmal AF (atrial fibrillation), various ablation strategies have been attempted to target non-pulmonary vein (PV) foci or to achieve substrate modification beyond pulmonary vein isola...
Reactive atrial-based anti-tachycardia pacing (rATP) in CIED (cardiovascular implantable electronic devices) is effective in atrial fibrillation (AF) suppression. Uninterrupted systemic anticoagulation is reco...
It has become important to identify and manage risk factors for subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) with an increase in its detection rate. Thus, this research aimed to investigate whether alcohol consumption...
While cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) are increasingly used, real-world data on the mortality rate due to mechanical complications of CIED is scarce.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a significant contributor to cardioembolic stroke, with the left atrial appendage (LAA) often being the principal source of thrombus. Given the substantial impact of stroke on patie...
The Chiari network (CN) is the net-like embryonic remnants of the right valve of the sinus venosus. Catheter entrapment by CN is a not uncommon complication during catheter manipulation inside the right atrium...
Although rhythm control could be the best for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), some patients fail to achieve sinus rhythm (SR). This study aimed to identify clinical risk factors of failed electrical card...
Genetic studies are clinically recommended in some cases of inherited arrhythmia syndromes. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) would be helpful because of its high analytical throughput and relative speed. This ...
The prognostic significance of resting heart rate and its therapeutic target in atrial fibrillation (AF) is uncertain. We sought to investigate the relationship between resting heart rate and cardiovascular ou...
Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has emerged as a novel form of physiological pacing. However, few physicians have used stylet-driven pacing leads with a steerable delivery sheath for left fascicular bun...
Catheter ablation is the most effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Electrical pulmonary veins isolation (PVI) forms the cornerstone ablation strategy. Radiofrequency (RF) in combination with 3D ma...
Traditional right ventricular apical pacing can cause electrical–mechanical dyssynchrony. Therefore, physiological conduction system pacing was considered and became the reason for developing His bundle pacing...
Multiple episodes of syncope in rapid succession are extremely rare, and syncope in the elderly has multiple potential mechanisms. Even though the electrophysiology study has little role in patients with synco...
Cardiac ion channelopathies encompass a set of inherited or acquired conditions that are due to dysfunction in ion channels or their associated proteins, typically in the presence of structurally normal hearts...
New parameters such as ablation index (AI) have been developed to create reliable ablation lesions. This study was performed to evaluate whether RF energy delivery with the same ablation index creates the simi...
The atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) is the most common tachycardia associated with accessory pathways (APs). Although sporadic Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome has been well-described, AP occ...
Pulmonary vein isolation is an well-established treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF), and it is especially effective for patients with paroxysmal AF. However, the success rate is limited for patient...
Brugada syndrome (BrS) may cause a spectrum of symptoms from asymptomatic patients to those who experience cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis is confirmed after observation of type I Brugad...
Conventional right ventricular apex (RVa) pacing increases the risk of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM), especially in elderly patients with a higher ventricular pacing burden. Left bundle branch area paci...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients are often high risk being elderly and having multiple comorbidities. Many risk factors are established to be associated with new onset incident AF, as well as AF-related compl...
