Risk Factors Associated with Unsuccessful Dofetilide Initiation Due to Excessive QT Interval Prolongation: A Retrospective Study Open
Dofetilide is a class III anti-arrhythmic medication approved for patients with atrial fibrillation to maintain sinus rhythm. Excessive QTc interval prolongation, a potential side effect of dofetilide, increases the risk of torsades de poi…

Non-invasive Neuromodulation of Arrhythmias Open
Dysfunction of the cardiac autonomic nervous system (CANS) is associated with various cardiac arrhythmias. Subsequently, invasive techniques have successfully targeted the CANS for the treatment of certain arrhythmias, such as sympathetic …

Pseudo-vagal Responses Elicited by Cryoballoon Ablation Open
Pulmonary vein isolation via cryoballoon (CB) ablation is the cornerstone ablation strategy for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Acute intraprocedural hypotensive and/or bradycardic responses have been reported in patients underg…

Entrapment of a spline from a multielectrode mapping catheter in the side hole of a nonsteerable guiding sheath, with dislodgement and subsequent suction retrieval of a proximal spline electrode Open
Key Teaching Points•Use caution when maneuvering equipment that does not "feel right."•Examine all malfunctioning equipment once removed from the body to ensure all components have been successfully retrieved.•The push towards "low-fluoro/…

Left Atrial Size May Predict Blood Pressure Improvement after Ganglionated Plexi Ablation in Addition to Pulmonary Vein Isolation Open
Hypertension (HTN) and atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly co-exist. An improvement in control of HTN in a subset of patients undergoing AF ablation was previously demonstrated by our group. In the present study, we aimed to assess whether l…

Successful Catheter Ablation of Two Macro-reentrant Atrial Tachycardias in a Patient with Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries: A Case Report Open
Adults with congenital heart disease represent a complex and growing patient population. By virtue of their variant anatomy and the complex surgical repair often required in infancy, these patients are at risk of developing unique atrial a…

Ventricular Arrhythmias in the Patient with a Structurally Normal Heart Open
Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are among the most common cardiac rhythm disturbances encountered in clinical practice. Patients presenting with frequent ventricular ectopy or sustained ventricular tachycardia represent a challenging and wor…

Catheter Ablation of Ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia Originating from an Inferobasal Right Ventricular Scar Using Substrate Mapping: A Case Report Open
Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) has emerged as a superior alternative to antiarrhythmic drug therapy in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, with the vast majority of ischemic VT being ablation from the endocardial surf…
