Heart ablation is a procedure that treats arrhythmias, such as SVT, by destroying small areas of heart tissue that cause irregular heartbeats, using either heat or cold delivered via catheters. The ...

ROCHESTER, NY — About a third of patients with nonischemic disease in a major cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) trial had cardiomyopathy related to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) that ...

Recurrent ventricular tachycardia among survivors of myocardial infarction with an implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is frequent despite antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The most effective ...

We report the case of a 56-year-old man who had sudden palpitations, lightheadedness, chest pain, and dyspnea. Paramedics arrived within about 10 minutes after the onset of symptoms and found that the ...

Catheter ablation was not the first-line treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) for most patients referred to a tertiary center, a study shows, with investigators suggesting the procedure is ...

Background A 44-year-old female presented with a long history of chest pain, palpitations and increasing dyspnea. Electrocardiography and 24 h Holter monitoring revealed multiple premature ventricular ...

Intramural needle ablation using in-catheter, heated saline-enhanced radiofrequency was effective in reducing ventricular tachycardia burden for high-risk patients failing one to five prior ablations ...

If you have ventricular tachycardia, your doctor may give you medicine to slow your heart rate down. You might also need a catheter ablation. In this procedure, a doctor threads a thin tube through an ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Noninvasive stereotactic radiotherapy (RT) for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) achieved outcomes similar to catheter ablation with substantially fewer serious adverse events ...
