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. Response of accessory pathway conduction to exercise gives useful information on the rate at which anterograde preexcitation is blocked.

Brugada Syndrome: Diagnosis and Risk Stratification

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This is mainly to account for the individual variation in anatomical location of right ventricular outflow tract, the main location of electrophysiological abnormalities in Brugada syndrome. Opinion is divided on the need for electrophysiology study. Spontaneous type 1 ECG has the highest number of points at 3.5,

Rate vs Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

The study documented that catheter ablation for AF in patients with heart failure was associated with a significantly lower rate of a composite endpoint of death from any cause or hospitalization for worsening heart failure, than medical therapy.
