ROCHESTER, NY — About a third of patients with nonischemic disease in a major cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) trial had cardiomyopathy related to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) that ...

Heart ablation is a procedure that treats arrhythmias, such as SVT, by destroying small areas of heart tissue that cause irregular heartbeats, using either heat or cold delivered via catheters. The ...

Electrical abnormalities of the heart, presenting as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, frequently occur in patients with a diagnosis of structural heart disease (SHD) 1. Individuals who present with ...

Recurrent ventricular tachycardia among survivors of myocardial infarction with an implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is frequent despite antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The most effective ...

Catheter ablation was not the first-line treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) for most patients referred to a tertiary center, a study shows, with investigators suggesting the procedure is ...

Recent advances have enabled noninvasive mapping of cardiac arrhythmias with electrocardiographic imaging and noninvasive delivery of precise ablative radiation with stereotactic body radiation ...

For ventricular tachycardia (VT), catheter ablation is often seen as an option of last resort, however, some are questioning whether there has been too much emphasis on antiarrhythmic medication. In ...
