Selection of candidates to catheter ablation (CA) of long-lasting persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging, since success is not guaranteed. In this study, we put forward an automated… (More)
Brugada syndrome is a well-known form of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF). Few data suggest that this arrhythmia may be triggered by ventricular premature beats (VPBs), and an association… (More)
Typical atrial flutter is due to a counterclockwise macro-re-entry circuit localized in the right atrium with a surface ECG pattern showing predominantly negative F waves in the inferior leads and… (More)
BACKGROUND
Magnetic navigation system (MNS) (Niobe, Stereotaxis, Saint-Louis, Missouri, USA) allows remote control of a radiofrequency ablation catheter using a steerable magnetic field and a… (More)
INTRODUCTION
We studied the role of the cardiac renin-angiotensin II system in the genesis of cardiac memory, in which T wave changes induced by ventricular pacing (VP) accumulate and persist during… (More)

Isthmus-dependent (ID) clockwise (CW) atrial flutters (AFl) are rare in comparison with counterclockwise (CCW) AFl. Little is known about clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of CW… (More)
The previously unknown congenital absence of inferior vena cava, an otherwise benign condition, may create difficulties for catheter ablation of arrhythmias. We describe a case of a typical-like… (More)
For cardioversion of atrial fibrillation 2 techniques are available: pharmacological and electrical. Pharmacological cardioversion is effective, especially when the duration of arrhythmia is shorter… (More)
Catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter (AFl) is succesful if double electrograms on the ablation line are widely separated. Nevertheless, a small interval may also be compatible with complete… (More)
