ROCHESTER, NY — About a third of patients with nonischemic disease in a major cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) trial had cardiomyopathy related to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) that ...

Background Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are common and can cause concerns in both patients and their caregivers. In ...

Patients with ventricular tachycardia and ischemic cardiomyopathy are at high risk for adverse outcomes. Catheter ablation is commonly used when antiarrhythmic drugs do not suppress ventricular ...

For ventricular tachycardia (VT), catheter ablation is often seen as an option of last resort, however, some are questioning whether there has been too much emphasis on antiarrhythmic medication. In ...

The Amsterdam UMC team, shown here, performed the VT ablation procedure following previous experiences performing atrial flutter and premature ventricular complex (PVC) ablation procedures guided by ...

Background A 44-year-old female presented with a long history of chest pain, palpitations and increasing dyspnea. Electrocardiography and 24 h Holter monitoring revealed multiple premature ventricular ...

Not all defibrillator pad positions may work equally well for patients with shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. (JAMA Network Open) Medical therapy for aortic stenosis? Early clinical data on ...

Introduction: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of outflow tract ventricular arrhythmia (VA) that originates from the aortic cusps can be challenging. Data on long-term efficacy and safety as well as ...

Within the prior 24 months, I have had a financial relationship with a company producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients: Receive the the ...

The optimized strategy to further increase the success rate of ablation for ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is challenging. Recent studies have shown that ...
