It is now over 100years since the discovery of the cardiac conduction system, consisting of
three main parts, the sinus node, the atrioventricular node and the His–Purkinje system. The …

Catheter ablation is at the forefront of the management of a range of atrial arrhythmias. In
this Series paper, we discuss the underlying mechanisms and the current role of catheter …

Pacemaker treatment for bradyarrhythmia was first approved for national health insurance
coverage in Japan in 1974, and its use rapidly became widespread thereafter …

Supraventricular arrhythmias are common and patients are often symptomatic, requiring
management with drugs and electrophysiological procedures. The ESC published …

Sinus node dysfunction may be either transient (reversible/physiological) due to the
involvement of the autonomic nervous system or pharmaceuticals, or chronic due to …

Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the incidence, clinical and electrophysiologic
features, and long-term outcomes of patients with tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy …

Background: Atrial tachycardia (AT) occurring following catheter ablation of persistent atrial
fibrillation (AF) may be challenging to map and ablate because their mechanism and …

BACKGROUND: Left atrial appendage (LAA) is implicated in maintenance of atrial fibrillation
(AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT) associated with persistent AF (PsAF) ablation, although little …
