Electrophysiologists specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias. Advances in diagnostic techniques, such as implantable loop recorders, which have advanced to smaller and more reliable devices, and more recently the introduction of injectable loop recorders, have improved patient satisfaction and outcomes. Treatments such as ablation therapy are constantly evolving and research into the timing and treatment sequencing is ongoing.

Physician burnout is at a critical point. In this episode, Nicky speaks with Dr Alfred Atanda about why so many physicians are burning out and what can be done to change the trend. From personal experience to system-wide solutions, Dr Atanda shares valuable insights on improving physician well-being and building a more effective healthcare culture.
The first-in-human implantation of a leadless pacing system occurred already more than 10 years ago.1Â The first-generation ventricular leadless pacemaker could provide only asynchronous ventricular pacing (ventricular, ventricular, inhibited [VVI], or ventricular, ventricular, inhibited, rate response [VVIR]), limiting its indications to ...
touchCARDIO is delighted to announce that Heart International has received an impressive new Impact Factor of 1.9 in the 2024 Journal Citation Reports (JCR). This achievement marks a notable increase from last year’s Impact Factor of 0.2 and highlights the journal’s growing influence in the cardiology field.
Highlights Failure to target and deliver durable radiofrequency lesions to all functionally critical areas has been identified as an important cause of ventricular tachycardia recurrence and is particularly challenging in deep midmyocardial or very extensive substrate where point-by-point radiofrequency ablation ...
Background: Conduction system pacing has the potential to offer improved outcomes compared with other forms of pacing. His bundle pacing (HBP) can be technically more difficult to achieve and pacing thresholds can be unreliable compared with left bundle branch area ...
Background: Conduction system pacing is a novel pacing technique that aims to maintain physiological activation of the ventricles. It can be achieved by pacing the His-bundle or the left bundle branch area. Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has many ...
Clinical trial results show stark disparities in use of life-saving implantable cardiverter defibrillator (ICD) interventions based on sex and race, suggesting potential bias in care pathways to electrophysiologists (EP). Dr Anne B Curtis discusses her recent study presented at HRS 2020 ...
