New strategy for cardiac MRI could aid in complex tachycardia treatment

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

A multicenter study has described and validated a new strategy for guiding ablation procedures in patients with complex tachycardias. Ablation procedures use energy—usually heat or cold—to eliminate small areas of heart tissue that cause pathological cardiac arrhythmias, thereby restoring normal heart rhythm.

Exploring Potential New Treatment for Ventricular Tachycardia

DAIC

milla1cf Wed, 06/19/2024 - 20:57 June 19, 2024 — When electrophysiologist Eugenio Cingolani, MD , isn’t seeing patients, he can usually be found in his laboratory, investigating improved treatments for heart rhythm disorders. This is a complex procedure that destroys the abnormal heart tissue that’s causing the rapid heartbeat.

Case Report: Dual-chamber pacemaker for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with bradyarrhythmia and idiopathic pericardial effusion: a report of two cases and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Typically, patients with HCM experience sinus tachycardia and sinus arrest relatively infrequently. Subsequent examinations and follow-up revealed that pacing significantly reduced LVOT obstruction and corrected heart rhythm. Meanwhile, a dual-chamber pacemaker can treat HCM by changing the sequence of myocardial contraction.

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. The company now anticipates U.S.

Syncope while on a treadmill

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This strip was obtained: Apparent Wide Complex Tachycardia at a rate of 280 What do you think? He cardioverted to sinus rhythm, and a 12-lead was obtained. Troponins 34>33>43, likely secondary to myocardial injury from tachycardia. He underwent ablation in the EP Lab. Sinus tachycardia does not go this fast.
