The Role of RyR2 Mutations in Congenital Heart Diseases: Insights Into Cardiac Electrophysiological Mechanisms

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Mutations in RyR2 and its dysfunction are implicated in various congenital heart diseases (CHDs). ABSTRACT Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) protein, a calcium ion release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of myocardial cells, plays a crucial role in regulating cardiac systolic and diastolic functions.

Efficacy and Safety of Early Post-Operative Ablation in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

HeartRhythm

Post-operative arrhythmias are most often transient and medically treated, but some patients may require electrophysiology study (EPS) and ablation.

Very High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction Data regarding safety and long-term outcome of very high-power-short duration (vHPSD) ablation in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) are lacking. Methods Retrospective observational single-center study. with paroxysmal AF, 43.6%

Collection of a few ECGs in congenital heart diseases

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

All these features together in a cyanotic congenital heart disease is characteristic of tricuspid atresia. Fragmented QRS is a marker of myocardial scar and consequent arrhythmias in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy.

An Unusual Response to Entrainment Mapping in a Patient with Congenital Heart Disease

HeartRhythm

A 37-year-old woman with biventricular repair for pulmonary atresia and an intact ventricular septum was referred for an electrophysiological study in the context of recurrent atrial arrhythmias with multiple electrical cardioversions. Her clinical tachycardia was easily inducible and had a cycle length (TCL) of 340 ms.

PO-05-171 NOVEL APPROACH FOR INTRA-OPERATIVE HIGH-DENSITY MAPPING USING OMNIPOLAR TECHNOLOGY

HeartRhythm

Atrial conduction abnormalities are common among patients with congenital heart disease, predisposing them to arrhythmias. In clinical practice, substrates are usually identified during electrophysiological mapping procedures using bipolar electrograms (EGM).

Safety and efficacy of combined dilation/stenting of venous abnormalities, including complete obstructions, during lead extractions in patients with congenital heart disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Management of transvenous leads in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) can be complicated by venous obstructions and residual shunts. Complications included blood transfusion ( n  = 2), arrhythmia ( n  = 3), pleural effusion ( n  = 1), and pressure ulcer ( n  = 1). h (range 5.4−12.8 h).
