Personalized Heart Digital Twins Detect Substrate Abnormalities in Scar-Dependent Ventricular Tachycardia

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Current outcomes from catheter ablation for scar-dependent ventricular tachycardia (VT) are limited by high recurrence rates and long procedure durations. Predicted optimum ablation sites to terminate all VTs in the models were identified.

Boston Scientific Initiates AVANT GUARD Clinical Trial to Evaluate FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System as First-Line Treatment for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

Outcomes of ablation with the FARAPULSE PFA System – a nonthermal treatment in which electric fields selectively ablate heart tissue – will be compared to outcomes following use of anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy, which is commonly prescribed for patients living with persistent AF.

Approach to the Diagnosis and Management of Complex Fascicular Ventricular Tachycardias

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. Complex ventricular tachycardias involving the fascicular system (fascicular ventricular tachycardias [FVTs]) can be challenging. To summarize, 5 cases had prior ablation with 2 previously misdiagnosed as supraventricular tachycardia.

Road-Map to Epicardial Approach for Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Structural Heart Disease: Results From a 10-Year Tertiary-Center Experience

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Epicardial approach in ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation is still regarded as a second-step strategy, due to the risk of complications. The epicardial approach was considered useful if epicardial ablation was performed after epicardial mapping.

Atrial dilatation in Atrial fibrillation : A query with multiple twists!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

In all probability, this dilation is a form of atrial tachycardia and atrial cardiomyopathy. Spatial relationship of sites for atrial fibrillation drivers and atrial tachycardia in patients with both arrhythmias July 2017 International Journal of Cardiology 248(3) AF begets AF. Implications for electrophysiologists.
