Background Implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) prevent sudden death from
cardiac causes in selected patients but require the use of transvenous lead systems. To …

Aims In persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF), success rates for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)
alone are limited and additional substrate modification is often performed. The two most …

Background Programming long arrhythmia detection times can reduce the incidence of
implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shock therapy. However, potential concerns exist …

A new algorithm (St. George's algorithm), based on the polarity and morphology of QRS
complexes rather than delta waves, was developed for localizing accessory pathways to 1 of …

OBJECTIVES.: This study investigated the efficacy and tolerability of low energy shocks for
termination of atrial fibrillation in patients, using an endocardial electrode configuration that …

Focuses on atrial arrhythmias and the challenges which they present for clinicians. Atrial
premature beats and atrial tachycardia; Characteristics of atrial flutter (AFL); Atrial fibrillation …

Background—Digoxin is commonly prescribed in symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
(AF) but has never been evaluated in this condition. Methods and Results—From a …

Objectives. This prospective, multicenter trial was aimed at defining efficacy and safety of
low energy shocks during atrial fibrillation in a diverse cohort of patients. Background …

Constant rapid pacing may suppress arrhythmias, but it is usually poorly tolerated in the long
term. We report a pilot study of a new pacing algorithm for overdrive suppression of atrial …
