The foramen ovale, an obligatory channel, allows placental oxygenated blood to directly reach the fetal arterial circulation and remains patent in 25% of the adult population.1 Patency provides a potential gateway for venous emboli to reach the arterial circulation, potentially resulting in systemic embolus or stroke (now termed ‘patent foramen ovale [PFO]-associated stroke’).2 Preventive strategies for recurrent […]

An Introduction to Electrophysiology

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.

The first-in-human implantation of a leadless pacing system occurred already more than 10 years ago.1 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 ...

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 ...
