Conventional activation mapping is difficult without inducible, stable ventricular tachycardia (VT).We evaluated 16 patients with drug refractory, unimorphic, unmappable VT. Nine had ischemic and 7 nonischemic cardiomyopathy. All implantable defibrillators experienced 6 to 55 VT episodes during the month before treatment. Patients underwent bipolar catheter baseline rhythm. The amount of endocardium an abnormal electrogram amplitude was estimated using fluoroscopy in 3 a magnetic system...
ABSTRACT Using error‐free data on life‐cycle portfolio allocations of a large sample Norwegian households, we document double adjustment as households age: rebalancing the composition away from stocks they approach retirement and stock market exit after retirement. When structurally estimating an extended model, parameter combination that best fits is one with relatively risk aversion, small per‐period participation cost, yearly probability loss in line frequency crashes Norway.
The subcutaneous (S) implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is safe and effective for sudden cardiac death prevention. However, patients in previous S-ICD studies had fewer comorbidities, less left ventricular dysfunction, received more inappropriate shocks (IAS) than typical transvenous ICD trials. UNTOUCHED trial (Understanding Outcomes With the Primary Prevention Patients Low Ejection Fraction) was designed to evaluate IAS rate a typical, contemporary patient population implanted...
Objectives. This study sought to characterize the electrocardiographic patterns predictive of left ventricular sites origin repetitive monomorphic tachycardia (RMVT). Background. RMVT typically arises from right outflow tract (RVOT) in patients without structural heart disease. The incidence this syndrome is unknown. Methods. Detailed endocardial mapping RVOT was performed 33 consecutive with during attempted radiofrequency ablation. Left also if pace maps obtained did not reproduce...
We sought to 1) correlate conduction block in the isthmus of right atrium between inferior vena cava and tricuspid annulus with efficacy catheter ablation type I atrial flutter, 2) characterize effects ablative lesions on properties conduction.There are few data mechanism persistent suppression recurrence flutter by ablation.Thirty-five patients underwent mapping ablation. Radiofrequency were applied isthmus. Transisthmus before after was assessed during pacing sinus rhythm from medial...
Pace mapping used to locate the site for ablation of idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) tachycardia remains difficult and time-consuming. A method facilitate pace most common this are reported. In 18 consecutive patients with RVOT tachycardia, electrocardiographic criteria based on QRS orientation in lead 1 R wave progression precordial leads were find maps matching arrhythmia. Identical obtained septum 16 resulted successful ablations. These sites concentrated anterior...
Background —The CABG Patch trial compared prophylactic implantable cardiac-defibrillator (ICD) implantation with no antiarrhythmic therapy in coronary bypass surgery patients who had a left ventricular ejection fraction <0.36 and an abnormal signal-averaged ECG. There were 102 deaths among the 446 ICD group 96 454 control patients, hazard ratio of 1.07 ( P =0.63). The mechanisms death classified, hypotheses tested about effects on arrhythmic nonarrhythmic cardiac Trial Multicenter...
The country has been in the midst of an economic recession, leaving many people with need to supplement their traditional incomes by alternative means. Motivated home owners are leveraging largest asset renting out homes for short periods time. These include single-family residences commonly located a residential neighborhood or zoning district. This phenomenon is growing rapidly across and presenting policy concerns state local governments. explosion websites allowing advertise properties...
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) remain a challenging problem in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).This study aimed to determine whether ranolazine administration decreases the likelihood of VT, VF, or death an ICD.This was double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial which high-risk ICD ischemic nonischemic cardiomyopathy were randomized 1,000 mg twice day placebo. The primary endpoint VT VF requiring appropriate therapy death,...
Transient entrainment was demonstrated during 59 pacing events in 18 episodes of sustained uniform ventricular tachycardia (VT) while recording electrograms from the site origin (LE-SOO). During entrainment, morphology initial component LE-SOO identical to observed 13 VTs (group I), but five II), changed at a "critical" paced cycle length. The presence proposed surface electrocardiographic criteria for entrainment--fixed fusion and first postpacing complex without occurring length--were...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) generates potent electromagnetic forces in the form of a static, gradient, or pulsed radiofrequency magnetic field that can result pacemaker malfunction. This report documents case rapid cardiac pacing during MRI patient with dual chamber pacemaker. Although mechanism is unclear, it was directly related to pulsing. We postulated lead acts as an antenna for energy interacts pacemaker's output circuit, thus, causing at cycle length representing multiple...
This study sought to document postoperative complications attributable nonthoracotomy defibrillation lead systems in a large cohort. The incidence of specifically associated with sys. tems is unknown. Postoperative lead-related were evaluated 170 patients system who followed up for mean (±SD) 17 ± 12 months. Each incorporated one or more intravascular leads. In 117 (69%), the subcutaneous patch. All implantations performed an operating room by cardiothoracic surgeons. Defibrillation...

ABSTRACT As countries develop and experience structural transformation, the gendered patterns of labor change. We use harmonized force data do not find evidence that women's share agricultural is positively correlated with per capita income. Yet, shows many changes taking place vary across locations. identify five areas require attention to understand these processes change: joint ownership management among smallholder farmers, responses migration men off‐farm, shifts sectoral boundaries,...
