Significant delayed conduction and characteristic ventricular tachycardias in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and electrical storm

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Advanced arrhythmic substrate consisting of significant conduction abnormalities due to inflammation and fibrosis can be identified by specific electrocardiogram signs, such as fragmented QRS and ε wave. Among the ventricular tachycardia (VT) characteristics, multiple morphologies of monomorphic VTs (OR: 10.9,

Anteroseptal accessory pathways: Killing one bird with two stones

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods and Results A 21-year-old female with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and pre-excitation on electrocardiogram (ECG) underwent electrophysiology study (EPS) confirming an AS-AP with anterograde and retrograde conduction. Ablation in the NCC achieved immediate and persistent anterograde conduction block.

First clinical data on artificial intelligence?guided catheter ablation in long?standing persistent atrial fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Follow-up contained regular visits at our outpatient clinic at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months including 7-day Holter electrocardiograms. ms after) and AF termination to atrial tachycardia (AT) or sinus rhythm (SR) in 12 patients (24%). Patients were mainly suffering from long-standing persistent AF (mean AF duration 50.30 ± 54.28

A young lady with wide complex tachycardia. My first time actually making this diagnosis de novo in real life in the ED!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

She was awake, alert, well perfused, with normal mental status and overall unremarkable physical exam except for a regular tachycardia, possible rales at both bases, some mild RUQ abdominal tenderness. Thus, I believe it is a regular, monomorphic, wide complex tachycardia. Or it could simply still be classic VT. What is the Diagnosis?

Atrial fibrillation? Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia? Don't look at computer read until AFTER you interpret!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia 2. A deep neural network for 12-lead electrocardiogram interpretation outperforms a conventional algorithm, and its physician over-read, in the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. The rhythm is indeed irregularly irregular, so atrial fibrillation must be considered. Sinus with multifocal PACs 3. Poon et al.
