Sudden Palpitations in a Young Adult

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Regarding AFib with WPW: The very rapid heart rate and at times extremely short R-R intervals put the patient with AFib and WPW at risk of cardiac arrest from VFib. This electrophysiological property is called decremental conduction. A anterolateral AP was successfully ablated. Cited References: (1) Ren, J., 2) Klein, G.

Young Man with a Heart Rate of 257. What is it and how to manage?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient was found to have a "concealed" posteroseptal pathway (WPW without delta waves) confirmed to have SVT at EP study and was ablated. Here is the Electrophysilogist's note: "Only 1 pathway attachment could be ablated, the second one deep within the CS could not be ablated with high power.

Rate vs Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Nearly two thirds in the rhythm control strategy were on amiodarone and only 14 had catheter ablation. That is how the strategy of rhythm control by catheter ablation was thought of as a possible better strategy, though technically more challenging, not uniformly effective and having significant risk of complications.
