Ethanol ablation of left ventricular summit in a patient with repaired congenital heart disease: when the going gets though
Anno:
2025
A 22 years old young man with transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, repaired by previous Rastelli-type operation, showed up to our emergency department (ED) because of arrhythmic storm. Then, s-ICD had been implanted for secondary prevention, reaching clinical stability after two ablations and the addition…
EFFECTIVENESS OF PERCUTANEOUS STELLATE GANGLION BLOCKADE IN THE TREATMENT OF ARRHYTHMIC STORM. ROLE OF THE UNDERLYING HEART DISEASE.
Anno:
2025
Introduction   The sympathetic nervous system plays a crucial role in the genesis and maintenance of ventricular arrhythmias, which are frequently observed in patients with various types of heart disease. Percutaneous stellate ganglion blockade (PSGB) has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment for managing arrhythmic storm….
AN ADRENERGIC…CASE
Anno:
2025
Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries. It has a high mortality rate, with survival at hospital discharge of 2–10%. In 90% of cases, the cause of cardiac arrest is attributable to an acute coronary event, cardiomyopathy, or primary rhythm disorders. Our…
THE TOUCH OF DEATH
Anno:
2025
Introduction Commotio cordis (CC) is defined as sudden cardiac arrest due to blunt trauma to the left chest area directly over the heart in absence of underlying structural heart disease. Implanted defibrillator in CC offer no benefit in preventing future similar episodes. Clinical case We present the case of…
CATHETER ABLATION OF PVC ORIGINATING FROM LEFT VENTRICULAR SUMMIT:THE ENDO-EPICARDIAL APPROACH
Anno:
2025
The left ventricular summit (LVS) is a triangular area located in the most superior portion of the left epicardial ventricular region. The approach to the LVS can be performed through the surrounding structures as there is rich coronary arterial and venous vasculature within the confines of the LVS. The…
CATHETER ABLATION OF SUSTAINED VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA IN PATIENTS WITH STRUCTURAL HEART DISEASE AND MILDLY REDUCED OR PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION: RESULTS OF THE PRESERVED-AVT MULTICENTER REGISTRY
Anno:
2025
BACKGROUND In patients with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), structural heart disease (SHD), and preserved or mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), catheter ablation (CA) can be considered an alternative or a complementary therapy to an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). To date, limited data are available on how patients…
torsades de pointes in genetic mutations of uncertain significance
Anno:
2025
Background It is known that QT and QTc interval prolongation can cause life-long malignant arrhythmias. Even severe alterations in serum electrolytes, although reversible, can in some subjects unmask some mutations present in heterozygosis and therefore generally well tolerated. However, it is not possible to associate any mutation with a…
Potentially deadly electrical storm despite ICD and ablation: key role of neuromodulation
Anno:
2025
INTRODUCTION: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) refers to a broad spectrum of phenotypes caused by different genotypes, with in common a high susceptibility to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Sudden cardiac death may occur even among ICD recipients in case of refractory electrical storm (ES) and/or end of treatment (EOT) condition (exhaustion…
Multimodality Approach in the Treatment of an Arrhythmic Storm
Anno:
2025
A 74-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease was admitted to the hospital following the acute onset of palpitations and dizziness. She had an ICD implanted 5 years earlier for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death due to ischemic cardiomyopathy with reduced left ventricular…
A Novel Method to Improve Frequent Premature Ventricular Contractions Ablation – A Retrospective Single Centre Analysis
Anno:
2025
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is the most typical form of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias. Although known to be benign, high-burden PVC cause changes in myocardial structure and even severe heart failure. For this reason, catheter ablation (CA) is recommended.CA is performed at the earliest local activation time (LAT) positions.The novel OT…
