A recent study examining the viability of a temperature-controlled ablation system for ventricular tachycardia found that using a temperature-controlled irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheter was ...

These data suggest that VT rate and duration and other common clinical variables may not be sufficiently robust discriminators for the risk of syncope and hence, ICD design and programming. One ...

Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart beat (with three or more consecutive heart beats at least 100 beats per minute) that originates from one of the ventricles in the heart. The ...

Catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias, one of the most rapidly growing procedures in cardiac electrophysiology, is associated with magnetic resonance imaging–detected brain lesions in more than ...

“When there’s a hole in the heart, either at the atrial or ventricular level, the heart just can’t work efficiently,” explains Benjamin Barnes, a pediatric cardiologist at the Blalock-Taussig-Thomas ...

What is ventricular septal defect surgery for children? Ventricular septal defect (VSD) surgery is a type of heart surgery. It's done to correct a hole between the left and right ventricles of the ...

Figure 4. Right ventricular voltage map of a patient with Tetralogy of Fallot and scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT). Pace maps before ablation (PM Pre-Abl) from the conal free wall under the ...
