‘ Snipers Alley ’ I had never heard the term before, but lots of my patients were using it, and it seemed to motivate them into action. ‘ Snipers Alley ’, it turns out, is an age between 40-60, where mostly males were having fatal heart attacks. These patients were not overly bothered about having a heart attack at age 80, but usually, one of their friends, aged 52 or so, had just had a heart attack, and they did not want to be next.

RBM20 (RNA-binding motif protein 20) is a vertebrate- and muscle-specific RNA-binding protein that belongs to the serine-arginine-rich family of splicing factors. TheRBM20gene was first identified as a dilated cardiomyopathy–linked gene over a decade ago. Early studies inRbm20knockout rodents implicated disrupted splicing of RBM20 target genes as a causative mechanism.

PlasmaBlade operates near body temperature, and its long, thin, and malleable tip can overcome the limitations of a surgical knife. In this study, we aimed to evaluate our clinical experience and histopathological outcomes of septal myectomy using PlasmaBlade.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias may be unsuccessful if the thermal destruction of myocardial tissue does not reach the critical part of the reentrant circuit. In the case of deep intramural or intraseptal ventricular arrhythmias, adjunctive ablative approaches for deeper lesions may be employed, including bipolar ablation, intracoronary vessel alcohol injection, ablation with hypotonic irrigant such as half-normal saline, and stereotactic body radiation.1–4 Bipolar ab

Abstract Introduction In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), atrial fibrillation (AF) has historically been regarded to have a deleterious impact on clinical course, strongly associated with progressive heart failure (HF) symptoms. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the impact of AF on HCM employing validated quality of life (QoL) surveys.

Identifying signatures or metrics to guide patient-specific atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation approaches is paramount for improving outcomes beyond pulmonary vein isolation. These approaches assume that patients exhibit different wavefront dynamics requiring tailored ablation approaches. One such metric for identifying regions that could be targeted during ablation therapy identifies areas with electrogram dispersion1.

However, tPA is a more complex enzyme than expected, being for instance able to promote thrombolysis, but at the same time, also able to influence neuronal survival and to affect the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.
