Case Report: Electroanatomic mapping as an early diagnostic tool in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed normal biventricular function and dimension. Holter monitor showed 28% burden of PVCs with various morphologies consistent with right ventricular (RV) inflow and outflow tract exits.

Correlation of ventricular pacing burden and left ventricular function in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods We conducted an analysis of all patients who had received either a single or dual lead cardiac implantable electronic devices, excluding biventricular devices, and had a prior transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrating an ejection fraction of less than 50%.

What Lies Beneath

EMS 12-Lead

Jesse McLaren @ECGcases [link] [link] This case was kindly submitted by Dr. Paco Dardon (@PacoDardon), and it’s a privilege to present it as a formal review due to the many pathophysiological, and electrophysiological, phenomenon at play. Indeed, bedside Echocardiogram revealed severe left ventricular impairment of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

vs. 4.5%, p =0.96) on transesophageal echocardiogram did not differ. Both major (1.4% vs. 2.1%, p =0.72) and minor (27.8% vs. 19.4%, p =0.17) in-hospital complications were similar between the combined and control group, respectively. At 45 days, presence of peri-device leak (18.3% vs. 30.4%, p =0.07) and device related thrombosis (4.5%

Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Afterward, a transesophageal echocardiogram guided implantation of both a Micra AV 2 (Medtronic) leadless pacemaker in the interventricular septum within the right ventricle and an Aveir (Abbott) leadless pacemaker in the superior base of the right atrial appendage was performed with successful pacing.

Paced QRS morphology mimicking complete left bundle branch block induced by right ventricular pacing is associated with pacing?induced cardiomyopathy

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Patients who received pacemakers for an advanced atrioventricular block or bradycardia with atrial fibrillation, baseline LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%, and echocardiogram recorded at least 6 months postimplantation were included. The paced QRS recorded immediately after implantation was analyzed.
