Transseptal puncture (TSP) is widely used in catheter-based cardiac interventions to gain left atrial (LA) access, but its workflow has remained largely unchanged and still a source of serious complications. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) been shown be at least comparable with radiofrequency (RFA) terms safety efficacy. However, PFA catheter delivery the LA typically requires standard TSP an over wire sheath exchange which can limit lengthen procedure time—a...
The pathogenesis of inappropriate sinus tachycardia is not well understood, and the symptoms can be difficult to manage.Here, we present a case refractory medical therapy discuss our approach node modification by catheter ablation.
Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, potentially fatal, haematological disorder, which can be clinically challenging to diagnose and manage. We report case of HLH in previously healthy 33-year-old primigravida. The patient presented at 22 weeks gestation with dyspnoea, abdominal pain, anaemia, thrombocytopenia elevated liver enzymes suggestive HELLP syndrome.HELLP, syndrome characterised by haemolysis, low platelets considered severe form pre-eclampsia. Despite delivery the...
Key Clinical Message We present a case of Bing–Neel syndrome rare central nervous system lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma associated with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Diagnosis should be considered in the context unexplained neurological symptoms presence Abstract Waldenstroms macroglobulinaemia (WM) is B‐cell representing ~2% all hematological malignancies. While most complications WM are secondary to overproduction immunoglobulin M (IgM), Bing‐Neel (BNS) an extremely direct (CNS) infiltration...
There is a growing interest in appropriate use criteria (AUC) for cardiovascular imaging referrals Europe. These criteria, developed by American subspecialty societies, have been since 2007 and show temporal reduction inappropriate transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) requests. When applied to European centers, referral rates as high 15% observed.A retrospective analysis of TTE appropriateness major abnormality detection was conducted over two-month period at Cork University Hospital...
Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is an important cause of heart failure in patients with a right ventricular pacing burden. Recent evidence suggests that upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may confer benefit PICM.
