Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Savio-Galimberti E, Darbar D.
PMID: 25484998
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2014 Dec 01;6(4):741-748. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2014.07.006.

Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is clinically and genetically a highly heterogeneous disease, recent studies suggest that the arrhythmia may arise because of interactions between genetic and acquired risk factors - the so called "double-hit" hypothesis. Genome-wide association studies have...

Future Developments in Nonsurgical Epicardial Therapies.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Stanton CM, Asirvatham SJ, Bruce CJ, Danielsen A, Friedman PA.
PMID: 28770732
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2010 Mar;2(1):135-146. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2009.11.014.

The unique anatomic position of the pericardium in juxtaposition to central cardiac structures enables it to serve as the ideal vantage point for the delivery of novel cardiovascular therapies. Development of new tools to permit delivery of therapy in...

Epicardial Ablation of Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardia.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Green AI, Wilber DJ.
PMID: 28770738
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2010 Mar;2(1):81-91. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2009.11.006.

Epicardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an increasingly recognized arrhythmia in clinical practice. Electrocardiographic algorithms to identify epicardial VT should be used with the understanding that they are an initial guide to localization and do not exclude an epicardial origin...

Syncope in Patient with Long-Standing Hypertension, Diabetes, and Mild Aortic Stenosis.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Josephson ME.
PMID: 28770743
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2010 Jun;2(2):151-153. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2010.02.002.

This article presents a case study of a patient with long-standing hypertension, diabetes, and mild to moderate aortic stenosis presenting with syncope without premonitory symptoms. Electrophysiology confirmed intra-His block. After placement of a permanent pacemaker, the patient remains free...

Exercise-Induced Near Syncope.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Josephson ME.
PMID: 28770744
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2010 Jun;2(2):155-157. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2010.02.004.

This article provides a case study of a patient with exercised-induced near syncope. Intracardiac electrophysiologic study confirmed an intra-His block and a pacemaker was implanted.

Introduction to Supraventricular Tachycardia.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Badhwar N.
PMID: 28770746
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2010 Jun;2(2):179-181. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2010.01.001.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid tachycardia with an abrupt onset and termination cardiomyopathy. The three most common causes of PSVT are atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (50%-60%), atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia in patients with...

Extraction of Sterile Leads: Is it Beneficial?.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Henrikson CA, Brinker JA.
PMID: 26939817
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2012 Jun;4(2):199-207. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2012.02.014.

Extraction of sterile leads remains a controversial area. The risks and benefits of abandoning a lead are largely unknown, whereas the risks of lead extraction are better studied. Lead management decisions need to be made on a patient-by-patient basis,...

How Should Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Lead Failures be Managed and What is the Role of Lead Extraction?.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Moore HJ, Goldstein M, Karasik PE.
PMID: 26939818
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2012 Jun;4(2):209-20. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2012.02.009.

Despite remarkable advances in design, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads remain the component most susceptible to failure, which often leads to substantial adverse clinical outcomes. This article focuses on management strategies when ICD lead systems fail. Two cases involving management...

Ablation as First-Line Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation: Not Yet for All.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Padanilam BJ, Prystowsky EN.
PMID: 26939949
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2012 Sep;4(3):299-304. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2012.06.003.

Studies have established the superiority of atrial fibrillation ablation in controlling the rhythm compared with medical therapy. The procedure, however, has significant associated risks. Whether ablation therapy would improve the major outcomes of survival and stroke is not yet...

Ablation as First-Line Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation: Yes.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Santangeli P, Di Biase L, Al-Ahmad A, Horton R, Burkhardt JD, Sanchez JE, Gallinghouse GJ, Zagrodzky J, Bai R, Pump A, Mohanty S, Lewis WR, Natale A.
PMID: 26939948
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2012 Sep;4(3):287-97. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2012.05.011.

This article addresses the use of catheter ablation (CA) as first-line therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF). CA increases long-term freedom from AF, reduces hospitalizations, and improves quality of life compared with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy in patients with symptomatic...

Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: Termination of Atrial Fibrillation is Not the End Point.

Cardiac electrophysiology clinics

Santangeli P, Di Biase L, Al-Ahmad A, Horton R, Burkhardt JD, Sanchez JE, Bai R, Pump A, Mohanty S, Natale A.
PMID: 26939954
Card Electrophysiol Clin. 2012 Sep;4(3):343-52. doi: 10.1016/j.ccep.2012.06.005.

Permanent pulmonary vein isolation constitutes the main procedural goal of current approaches to atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation, with established effectiveness as a stand-alone procedure in most patients with paroxysmal AF. In patients with AF of longer duration, however,...
