Catheter ablation was not the first-line treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) for most patients referred to a tertiary center, a study shows, with investigators suggesting the procedure is ...

Ventricular tachycardia arises from an abnormal electrical focus or circuit in the myocardium of the ventricle and is usually manifested as a tachyarrhythmia with a wide QRS complex on ...

Ablation of supraventricular tachycardia in elderly persons presents a challenging problem to electrophysiologists. Friable cardiac structures, prone to catheter perforation, comorbid cardiovascular ...

Ablation strategies for almost all types of ventricular tachycardias have now been established. The optimal ablation strategy for ventricular tachycardia is determined by the site of origin and the ...

Background A 51-year-old male was referred for consideration for heart transplantation because of recently diagnosed congestive heart failure refractory to medical therapy. Previous echocardiography ...

CHICAGO -- For patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ischemic cardiomyopathy, going right to catheter ablation improved outcomes compared with trying antiarrhythmic drugs first, the VANISH2 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Patients with scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) who received VT ablation plus a subcutaneous ICD had ...

First and only contact force pulsed field ablation (PFA) system engineered to revolutionize care for the hundreds of thousands at risk of death from ventricular tachycardia (VT). FDA's TAP Pilot and ...

Patients with structural heart disease are at risk for life-threatening ventricular tachycardias (VTs). Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can terminate VT, but often at the cost of ...

We report the case of a 56-year-old man who had sudden palpitations, lightheadedness, chest pain, and dyspnea. Paramedics arrived within about 10 minutes after the onset of symptoms and found that the ...

Intramural needle ablation using in-catheter, heated saline-enhanced radiofrequency was effective in reducing ventricular tachycardia burden for high-risk patients failing one to five prior ablations ...

The first randomized trial to investigate preventive ablation of a potential arrhythmogenic substrate associated with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) in patients at high risk of ventricular ...
