1 Factors related to congenital heart disease, such as underlying anatomy, surgical repair technique and scars, can all be considered as AA substrates. Early diagnosis and ECG documentation is therefore essential for arrhythmia management. Of these, AA is one of the leading causes for hospital admissions in ACHD care.

While CT-guided CNA's feasibility is documented, data about GP anatomy and comprehensive evaluations of GP targeting methods remain scarce. Cardioneuroablation (CNA) targets ganglionated plexus (GP) to treat neurally-mediated syncope, yet a standardized GP identification method is lacking.

The primary reason is, the LV epicardial lead pacing site was pre-selected by the coronary sinus anatomy. This weeks JAMA has reported an encouraging results with this device.The study documented reduction in end systolic volume by 16% and the ejection fraction as well. Red 1) What about totally leadless CRT ?

Diagnostic cardiac catheterization may be needed especially in tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, to assess the pulmonary anatomy, including size and distribution of peripheral pulmonary arteries. Magnetic resonance imaging is another way of documenting coronary anomalies. If McGoon’s ratio is below 0.8,

Freedom from documented atrial arrhythmia recurrence at 12 months was 79.9% (AF 82.7%, AFL 96.5%, AT 98.1%), antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) were continued or re-initiated in 26.8% Freedom from documented recurrence at 12 months in these pts was 82.0%. of patients after the 3-month blanking period.

This is documented as a STEMI in the clinical notes and in the cath report, but certainly does not meet STEMI criteria and is therefore an NSTEMI by definition. His unique cath film demonstration removes all doubt about the anatomy — with the clearest illustration of acute septal perforator occlusion that I have seen!

Degree of outflow obstruction can be documented along with the classical Brockenbrough-Braunwald-Morrow sign. Evaluation of diastolic characteristics of LV and LV and coronary anatomy evaluation are other diagnostic uses of cath in HCM. The sign is an increased LVOT gradient after a ventricular premature complex.
