Ventricular arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and come in a
variety of forms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained ventricular …

PREAMBLE In 2002, an expert consensus statement was published on catheter ablation in
children and adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), based on a conference held at the …

Pacemaker treatment for bradyarrhythmia was first approved for national health insurance
coverage in Japan in 1974, and its use rapidly became widespread thereafter …

This document was reviewed by the PACES executive committee and through the HRS
review process. All writing members approved the final version. The writing committee …

While radiation exposure related to natural sources plays a minor role, medicine-related
exposure, represents, to date, a major exposure source. Within this exposure interventional …

The efficacy of a completely zero-fluoroscopy (ZF) approach for the catheter ablation of
idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and whether it has advantages over the …

Background: Traditionally fluoroscopy has been used for navigation of catheters during
electrophysiological procedures. Recent advances in electroanatomic mapping …

Catheter ablations are traditionally performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Besides other
peri-interventional risks, radiation exposure should be considered for its stochastic and …

Background:“ALARA–As Low As Reasonably Achievable” protocols reduce patient radiation
dose. Addition of electroanatomical mapping may further reduce dose. Methods: From 6/11 …

Introduction Definitive therapy of idiopathic right ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remains a
challenge in interventional electrophysiology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility …
