The implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is highly effective in reducing mortality among patients at risk for fatal arrhythmias, but inappropriate ICD activations are frequent, with potential adverse effects.
Background —The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy a temperature-controlled radiofrequency catheter ablation system. Methods Results patient population included 1050 patients who had undergone atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), an accessory pathway (AP), or junction (AVJ). Ablation successful in 996 patients. The probability success highest among AVJ, lowest AP, between for AVNRT. A major complication occurred 32 Four variables predicted (AVJ,...
comparative and descriptive studies, case series, cohort systematic reviews, expert opinion.Only selected references are cited.The Task Force recognizes the need for objective, independent Evidence Review Committees (ERCs) that include methodologists, epidemiologists, clinicians, biostatisticians who systematically survey, abstract, assess evidence to address key clinical questions posed in PICOTS format (P=population, I=intervention, C=comparator, O=outcome, T=timing, S=setting). 4,5...
Background— Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is a reversible cause of heart failure. We hypothesized that although left ventricular ejection fraction measurements normalize after rate or rhythm control in patients with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, recurrent tachycardia may have abrupt and deleterious consequences. Methods Results— Patients developed over years were evaluated treated. Tachycardia episodes outcomes assessed. Twenty-four identified. All had NYHA functional class III...
The risks of sports participation for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients are unknown.Athletes with ICDs (age, 10-60 years) participating in organized (n=328) or high-risk (n=44) were recruited. Sports-related and clinical data obtained by phone interview medical records. Follow-up occurred every 6 months. ICD shock outcomes adjudicated 2 electrophysiologists. Median age was 33 years (89 subjects <20 age); 33% female. Sixty competitive athletes (varsity/junior...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic that wreaking havoc on the health and economy of much human civilization. Electrophysiologists have been impacted personally professionally by this catastrophe. In joint article from representatives Heart Rhythm Society, American College Cardiology, Association, we identify potential risks exposure to patients, allied healthcare staff, industry representatives, hospital administrators. We also describe impact COVID-19 cardiac...
Major clinical centers in Sweden have witnessed an inflow of patients with chronic symptoms following initial outpatient care for coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection, suggestive postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. This report presents the first case series 3 Swedish diagnosed syndrome more than months after primary COVID-2019 infections. (Level Difficulty: Intermediate.)
Importance Whether vigorous intensity exercise is associated with an increase in risk of ventricular arrhythmias individuals hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) unknown. Objective To determine whether engagement increased for and/or mortality HCM. The a priori hypothesis was that participants engaging activity were not more likely to have arrhythmic event or die than those who reported nonvigorous activity. Design, Setting, and Participants This investigator-initiated, prospective cohort...
