Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This can be a source of cardiac arrhythmia as well. An important cause of arrhythmias in Ebstein’s anomaly is the presence of a right sided accessory atrioventricular pathway or WPW syndrome. Electrophysiological study will show that, and this pathway can be ablated. This portion is known as atrialized right ventricle.

Pediatric Exercise Testing

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This measurement has been correlated with those made at electrophysiology study and may predict the potential risk of rapid anterograde conduction if the person develops atrial fibrillation. QT prolongation and the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias with exercise are another important aspect of exercise testing in children.

Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Ventricular tachycardia is a potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmia. Chronic recurrent monomorphic VT like fascicular tachycardia and right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia are also amenable to electrophysiological mapping and ablation. If the rate is very fast, hemodynamic deterioration can occur rapidly.

Brugada Syndrome

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

I am always happy to see this ECG of Brugada syndrome sent to me by Professor Josep Brugada, in 2001, for the inaugural issue of the Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, which I started in 2001. An interesting fact is that many of the persons experience arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome with fever.

Brugada Syndrome: Diagnosis and Risk Stratification

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This is the proposed mechanism of precipitation of arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome during febrile episodes. There is a potential risk for drug challenge in that life threatening ventricular arrhythmias could be precipitated. Opinion is divided on the need for electrophysiology study. With proper precautions, risk can be reduced.
