Distribution Variance of Focal Atrial Tachycardia Foci and Long‐Term Outcomes After Ablation: Experience From Two Chinese Centers

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Distribution Variance of Focal Atrial Tachycardia Foci and Long-Term Outcomes After Ablation. ABSTRACT Introduction The distribution of the origin of focal atrial tachycardia (FAT) in patients with different ages have not been clearly elucidated. After a mean follow-up of 47.2 months, FAT recurred in 57 patients.

Pitfalls in diagnosis of atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia by a conventional electrophysiological study.

HeartRhythm

During atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), the earliest atrial activation site following retrograde slow pathway (SP) conduction is at the atrial exit of the left inferior extension (LIE) in the coronary sinus (CS) or the right inferior extension (RIE) on the tricuspid annulus (TA).

Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is downward or apical displacement of posterior and septal tricuspid leaflets. The anterior leaflet is not displaced, but is elongated to meet the other leaflets, so that when it closes, a loud sound, tricuspid sound, is produced, which is called as the sail sound.

Slowly conducting anatomic isthmuses of tetralogy of Fallot: An opportunity for “prophylactic” ventricular tachycardia ablation

HeartRhythm

Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot are at risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and sudden cardiac death. m/s) bound by the right ventriculotomy, ventricular septal defect patch, and tricuspid and pulmonic valves. Most VTs arise from 5 slowly conducting anatomic isthmuses (SCAIs; conduction velocity ≤0.5

Initiation and termination of a wide Complex Tachycardia by an atrial beat

HeartRhythm

A 28-year-old man with recurrent palpitations and no structural heart disease presented with a documented wide QRS complex tachycardia (WCT). He had a history of slow pathway ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia three months ago.

Two Distinct Atrial Breakthroughs During Fast‐Slow Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods and Results We report a case of fast-slow type AVNRT with two distinct atrial breakthrough sites during tachycardia. The earliest atrial activation site (EAAS) was at the right inferior septum, followed by the inferolateral wall of the tricuspid annulus. Ablation at the EAAS shifted it to the inferolateral wall.

Pulsed‐Field Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation in EU‐PORIA Registry

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

In the PVI + group, extra PV ablation included left atrial posterior wall isolation (87%), mitral isthmus ablation (37%), and cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation (3%). While AF recurrence did not significantly differ (25% vs. 28%, p =0.713), PVI + group had a significantly higher atrial tachycardia recurrence (8% vs. 22%, p <0.001).
