Supraventricular Tachycardia: From Catheter to Catheter Ablation
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
I had a privilege of having a really attentive and good medical student rotating through my cardiology office for a month. One day I explained to her in greater details that in spite of all the tests, devices and everything else, the patient history is still the MOST important aspect of overall medical evaluation of a patient. With this advice, I sent her to go to see a patient of mine admitted to the hospital with palpitations.

Autonomic Innervation from the Aortic Root Ventricular Ganglionated Plexi to the Pulmonary Vein: A Novel Pathway
Background: Autonomic nerve innervation pathway from the ventricular GP to the pulmonary veins (PV) remains unclear. Aim: This study investigates the autonomic innervations from aortic root ventricular GP to the PVs. Ni...
Potential Arrhythmogenic Risk of DDI/DDD Pacing Modes During Atrial Fibrillation
In patients with paroxysmal-persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), DDI and DDD pacing modes can be used to assess the clinical burden of AF. This report shows how the DDI mode might trigger ventricular tachyarrhythmias dur...
Efficacy and Safety of Different Energy Settings for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation using the Duty-cycled Radiofrequency Ablation Catheter (PVAC)
In recent years, new ablation catheters have been developed to facilitate atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures, including the multi-electrode pulmonary vein ablation catheter (PVAC), capable of using different pr...
Tetrahydrobiopterin Concentrations in Normal and Coronary Artery Diseased Heart Tissue
Background: Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a cofactor that plays a major role in cardiovascular health and disease. BH4 levels in the human heart have not been previously reported. Objective and Methods: Using a novel LC-...
Oxidative Stress as “Mother” of Many Human Diseases at Strong Clinical Impact
Oxidative stress, characterized by the production in excess of free radicals, is the main aspect of all living systems which use oxygen to convert biochemical energy coming from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate. In...
