Background— Ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrate ablation usually requires extensive
ablation. Scar dechanneling technique may limit the extent of ablation needed. Methods and …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have a lower prevalence in women than men; although, a
higher mortality rate and a poorer prognosis are more common in women. However, there is a …

Aims In the Multisensor Chronic Evaluation in Ambulatory Heart Failure Patients study, a
novel algorithm for heart failure (HF) monitoring was implemented. The HeartLogic (Boston …

Introduction The assessment of the ventricular myocardial substrate critically depends on
the size of mapping electrodes, their orientation with respect to wavefront propagation, and …

Background The clinical performance of high-power, short-duration (HPSD) pulmonary vein
isolation (PVI) with the novel flexible tip TactiFlex™ (TFSE) catheter, as compared to …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves symptoms and reduces mortality in
heart failure (HF) patients, but little data exist on the efficacy of CRT in the elderly. The aim …

Purpose To provide a brief overview of some relevant technological advances in the field of
three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping (3D-EAM) that have recently entered the …

Background Several novel technologies allowing catheter ablation (CA) with a favorable
safety/efficacy profile have been recently developed, but not yet extensively clinically tested in …

Background The identification of conducting channels (CCs) based on its relative high
voltage or the presence of electrograms with delayed components has been proposed for …

The therapeutic dilemma between rhythm and rate control in the management of atrial fibrillation
(AF) is still unresolved and electrical or pharmacological cardioversion (CV) frequently …
