Sixty Years of Hemodynamic Pharmacology in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

The New England Journal of Medicine

In April 1964, leading cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and pathologists convened in London for a 2-day symposium to discuss a relatively new disease entity that we now know as obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).1 1 The proceedings kicked off with a comment by the group’s chairman: “I have never before taken.

Are antiarrhythmic agents indicated in premature ventricular complex?induced cardiomyopathy and when?

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Recent data suggests that high PVC burden may lead to the development of PVC-induced cardiomyopathy (PVC-CM) even in patients without structural heart disease. Conclusions Based on the available data in the literature, we conclude that AADs play important role in the treatment of PVC-induced cardiomyopathy.

PO-05-044 FLUOROLESS CATHETER ABLATION OF AN ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA ORIGINATING FROM THE DISTAL LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE IN A PREGNANT WOMAN WITH TACHYCARDIA-INDUCED CARDIOMYOPATHY

HeartRhythm

Pharmacologic therapy is often preferred in pregnant patients. When pharmacologic therapy fails, fluoroless catheter ablation utilizing electroanatomic mapping systems and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) may be considered. Supraventricular tachycardias are the most common arrhythmias that occur during pregnancy.
