Arrhythmogenic Cardiovascular Conditions Registries
Author(s): Melody Hermel , Rebecca Duffy , Alexander Orfanos , et al Added: 3 years ago
One of the fundamental principles of evidence-based medicine is that clinical care should be based on data derived from appropriately designed trials, registries, and observational data from patients. The best available evidence is then used to develop guidelines for clinical care, assess quality, measure performance, and improve patient outcomes. The highest level of evidence in clinical… View more

Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia
Author(s): Timothy M Markman , Daniel A McBride , Jackson J Liang Added: 3 years ago
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurs most frequently in patients with structural heart disease. Management of VT in these patients can be complex, requiring an integrated approach with multiple therapeutic modalities. Antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) can be effective in the management of VT and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been shown to effectively prevent sudden cardiac death… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Shubhayan Sanatani Added: 3 years ago
In children and young adults, sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurs in approximately 1-2 per 100,000 population.1,2 While the overwhelming majority of occurrences of SCD occur in the adult population and are due to ischemic heart disease, very few cases in a pediatric population are. Pediatric SCD is a relatively uncommon occurrence whose underlying etiology often remains elusive. A long list of… View more
