Ninety eight percent atrioventricular synchrony has been demonstrated by implant-to-implant communication with two leadless pacemakers, one in the atrium and another in the ventricle [1]. AV synchrony was
Here is a carefully worded reply from the authors of Multinational LIVE-LQTS Study [1]: “Among individuals diagnosed with phenotypic and/or genotypic LQTS who were risk assessed and treated
Sarcopenic obesity can be considered as a combination of two disease states, sarcopenia and obesity, both becoming increasingly common in the elderly. Sarcopenia is quite common as age
When a person with positive treadmill exercise ECG is shown to have normal epicardial coronary arteries on coronary angiography, the treadmill ECG is often branded as a false
Non-Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) of the thorax taken for other reasons may incidentally detect coronary artery calcification. Conventional method of coronary calcium detection is by gated CT Agatston
TTVR stands for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement. Orthotopic TTVR involves implantation of the prosthetic valve within the native tricuspid valve annulus. Heterotopic TTVR is placement of a prosthetic
Arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy encompasses three subgroups with left ventricular dysfunction induced by arrhythmia. They are tachycardia with mean heart rate about 100 beats/min, atrial fibrillation and frequent premature ventricular
There is no doubt that prompt reperfusion is the key to salavaging more myocardium after a coronary occlusion as in acute myocardial infarction. Yet the rapid restoration of
