Penn Presbyterian Medical Center Becomes First Hospital in the Northeast to Adopt Advanced Robotic Technology for Heart Treatment

DAIC

Robotic Magnetic Navigation introduces the benefits of robotic precision and safety to cardiac ablation, a common minimally invasive procedure to treat arrhythmias. When left untreated, arrhythmias may significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.

Step‐by‐Step Approach to Phrenic Nerve Displacement

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Phrenic nerve injury, though rare, can be a serious complication of catheter ablation leading to significant morbidity. The close proximity of the phrenic nerve to the site of origin of arrhythmias may also impact the success of catheter ablation.

Origin of atrial ectopic activity

CineECG

Since CineECG relates the ECG data to the heart anatomy a new set of analysis options is made available to physicians. And deviations of the electrical path in the Atria show where to look for the origin of the beat differences.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Angina is another common symptom due the hypertrophy which causes a coronary supply demand mismatch Symptoms of HCM include syncope/near syncope, which could be precipitated by exertion, hypovolemia, rapid standing, Valsalva manoeuvre, diuretics, vasodilators or arrhythmia. Palpitations can be felt if there are arrhythmias.

Transcatheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia in children and congenital heart disease in the era of 3D mapping

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Nowadays, in large enough children, chronic treatment for symptomatic and recurrent AVNRT episodes relies on transcatheter ablation. Indeed, many three-dimensional (3D) mapping strategies and ablation techniques have been developed and it helped to increase success rates and to reduce complications.

Electrical instability in a healthy 50 year old. How to manage?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The possibility of an ischemic cause of the ventricular arrhythmia has to be considered! A workup was undertaken in search of a cause of the patient's ventricular arrhythmia. Once the arrhythmia was under control cardiac MRi was performed. The patient has been scheduled for a PVC ablation procedure. No PVCs are seen.
