Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation services were significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We also sought to understand factors influencing QoL, particularly the impact of COVID-19, on patients awaiting AF ablation, via a bespoke questionnaire. Although 65 patients had AF symptoms during the pandemic, 43.1%
Objective The objective is to evaluate the 5-year follow-up results of percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PIMSRA) for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), including clinical status, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic characteristics. mm Hg, p<0.001; post exercise: from 130.5
In patients who develop atrial fibrillation (AF), does the amount of previous lifetime hours of sport/exercise impact the form of AF, cardiovascular outcomes, and/or the need for cardioversion and ablation?
The primary end point was syncope recurrence, and the secondary end point was the reduction of the ventricular arrhythmia score during exercise testing. Twenty‐six PVT/ventricular fibrillation–triggering PVCs were identified for ablation. Ablation of trigger beat significantly reduced the syncope frequency (mean±SD, 4.3±1.6
Catheter Ablation: This minimally invasive procedure is now the gold standard for many AFib patients. Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) : PFA uses controlled electrical fields to target abnormal heart tissue with a reduced risk of damaging surrounding structures like the esophagus or nerves. Other options are typically recommended first.
Left ventricular summit VT is a type of benign idiopathic adenosine-sensitive VT that is caused by triggered activity and can be precipitated by excess catecholamines, such as during exercise. Unlike other outflow tract VTs, LV summit VT can be challenging to ablate because of its intramural or epicardial origin.
Ablation will be performed with the use of a substrate-based approach in which the myocardial scar is mapped and ablated while the heart remains predominantly in sinus rhythm. Cardiovascular mortality, driven by sudden cardiac death, is the main reason for dying while waiting for heart transplantation (HTx).
Because the patient was exercising, which increases sympathetic tone, facilitating AV conduction. The patient was started on amiodarone, anticoagulation, and metoprolol, and scheduled for atrial flutter ablation. He underwent ablation in the EP Lab. Why did today's patient develop AFlutter while exercising on a treadmill?
While , treating VTs with drugs is still a choice, permanent solutions by defining the VT circuit and ablating them, is the new norm. The following image and video clip is one such demonstration of ablating hidden diastolic paths between the entry and exit points. How can we remember this EP lesson easily ?
From advances in pharmacological treatments to innovative procedures like catheter ablation, the landscape of AFib treatment is continually evolving. Lifestyle modifications, including diet, exercise, and smoking cessation, play a crucial role. Anticoagulation Therapy: Stroke prevention is a primary concern in AFib management.
The updated guideline calls for a stronger, more prescriptive focus on healthy lifestyle habits to prevent or lessen the burden of AFib, as well as early and more aggressive rhythm control in general, including upgraded recommendations for catheter ablation as first line therapy to prevent disease progression.
We have previously shown that ablation of CaMKIIδ oxidation by CRISPR-Cas9 base editing enables the heart to recover function from otherwise severe damage following ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Here, we extended this therapeutic concept toward potential clinical translation.

ET Room B406A Fractional Flow Reserve-guided Complete or Culprit-only PCI in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction A Multicenter Prospective Randomized Study Comparing the Incidence of Periprocedural Cerebral Embolisms Caused by Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Between Cryoballoon and Radiofrequency Ablation Transseptal Versus Retrograde (..)
Electrophysiological study will show that, and this pathway can be ablated. Ebstein’s anomaly may present with a murmur for evaluation in the pediatric age group or in adults with arrhythmias or heart failure with cyanosis and exercise intolerance.
Before continuing flecainide, he had me get on a treadmill at full dose and at full exercise (18 minutes) and measured the QRS to be certain that the QRS did not lengthen at all. Is this patient a candidate for cardioversion or ablation? ( If ablation is contemplated — definitive diagnosis will be made at EP study. (
Move Your Body – Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Ablation Therapy – Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses heat or cold energy to destroy the small areas of the heart tissue responsible for triggering AFib episodes.
Cases are on record, in which ablation of the fourth septal artery has been done to ameliorate the obstruction in mid cavity obstruction. Dynamic gradient may be sought by glyceryl trinitrate, Valsalva manoeuvre, standing position or even symptom limited exercise. The role of cath now a days is mostly for septal ablation.
As discussed in ECG Blog #363 — this rare genetic disorder almost always presents in association with emotional stress or with exercise (ie, CPVT is usually "induced" by catecholamine discharge ). A left-sided lateral wall AP was found on EP study — and successfully ablated. Beyond-the-Core: Can You L ocalize the A P ?
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.
Ablation to prevent recurrent flutter was performed. Exercise can convert atrial flutter from 2:1 conduction to 1:1, apparently due to a combination of accelarated AV conduction and slowed flutter conduction. The subsequent EP study could not induce VT, only atrial fibrillation.
ABSTRACT Background Exercise Oscillatory Ventilation (EOV) and a steep ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2) slope are features of ventilatory inefficiency on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), both associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). Results A total of 53 participants were enrolled (mean LVEF of 349%).
Detailed assessment of cardiac function after successful catheter ablation will reveal this. Objective To evaluate the utility of measures to identify cardiomyopathic features that persist after LVEF normalisation in AIC.
Previously healthy, taking no medication and exercising regularly. No anginal symptoms asymptomatic during physical exercise. The patient has been scheduled for a PVC ablation procedure. Our patient was referred for EP study with a plan of PVC ablation if possible. Below in Figure-1 is this patient's admission ECG.
