The eight eight previously known Brugada syndrome (BrS) susceptibility genes are [three sodium channel(SCN) genes, two potassium channel(KCN) genes, two calcium channel(CACN) genes and one glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GPD) 1-like [..]

Pacemaker twiddler syndrome is characterized by coiling of the pacemaker lead due to rotation of the pulse generator of the pacemaker system along its long axis. This is [..]

Recent advances in communication devices and electrocardiographic technology have enabled real time loop recorder with telemonitoring. Leshem-Rubinow E and colleagues from Department of Cardiology, Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, [..]

Conventionally, invasive procedures are undertaken by switching over from warfarin to unfractionated heparin to have a better control over bleeding. Santangeli P and associates [Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation [..]

Programmed stimulator for electrophysiology (EP) study is used to give pacing at particular rates and protocols as needed. The pacing output is usually twice the diastolic threshold for [..]

The aim of AV (atrioventricular) interval optimization in CRT (cardiac resynchronization therapy or biventricular pacing) is to prevent too early or too late atrial contraction. Too late an [..]
