The Intracardiac Echocardiography Guided Cardioversion Helps Interventional Procedures study evaluated the concordance of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) with transesophageal (TEE) in patients atrial fibrillation (AF).Patients AF undergoing right heart catheterization underwent left atrium (LA) and interatrial septal (IAS) imaging by TEE ICE. A blinded comparison 2 modalities was performed at a core laboratory. Ninety-five aged 58 ± 12 years completed study. LA profiled all both...
Three patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection presented QT c prolongation (> 440 ms) and torsades de pointes. We sought to evaluate the etiology of long syndrome in these without previously identified causes for prolongation, determine prevalence among HIV infection. The three index underwent: (1) left stellate ganglion block; (2) β‐blocker challenge; (3) electrocardiographic stress testing. interval was measured before after intervention. undertook a retrospective...
Atrial fibrillation and flutter (AF) is a common condition among emergency department (ED) patients in the United States. Traditionally, ED care for primary complaints related to AF focus on rate control, are often admitted an inpatient setting further care. Inpatient may include telemetry monitoring diagnostic testing, rhythm search identification of etiology, stroke prophylaxis. However, many eligible safe effective outpatient management pathways. They widely used Canada other countries...
Patients with heart failure (HF) are often instructed to temporarily adjust their diuretic dose. This approach has become routine in some HF management programs; however, no study specifically examined the effects of a patient-directed flexible protocol. For purposes this study, patients were randomized into usual care (UC) group (n = 31) or titration (DT) 35). The DT completed 6-item protocol once day, for 3 months. 6-minute walk distance, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-BNP),...
Gas exchange measurements obtained during submaximal exercise have been shown to provide prognostic and diagnostic information in patients with heart failure (HF) differentiate versus lung limitations unexplained dyspnea. The aim of our study was assess the clinical utility cardiopulmonary testing using Shape-HF equipment identifying cause dyspnea.A total 65 underwent tests from September 2010 June 2011 for dyspnea at center.Of patients, 39 were men 26 women. In this study, 23 had...

Through repetition, electrophysiologists and interventional cardiologists experienced in TP develop manual skills navigate transseptal catheter assembly their target on fossa ovalis (FO). Cardiology fellows that are new currently train patients this...
Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve has a known association with Wolff‐Parkinson‐White syndrome. Radiofrequency ablation become treatment choice for latter, but there have been no reports feasibility this procedure after replacement. We present patient who first exhibited evidence intermittent preexcitation and associated symptomatic arrhythmia 9 years replacement anomaly, describe challenges posed by case.
