Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia occurs when a reentrant circuit is present outside of the AV node through an abnormal conduction pathway that connects the atrium to the ventricles. If an action ...

Given today's short hospital stays after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), there may be a role for selective long-term monitoring to flag delayed conduction abnormalities, studies showed.

The Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndrome occurs when an accessory pathway is congenitally present that directly connects the atria to the ventricles, bypassing the AV node similar to the ...

Delayed cases of total atrioventricular block (AVB) or complete heart block can occur more than 2 days after TAVI, two new studies affirm, highlighting the utility of extended ECG monitoring after ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

You are reviewing an ECG you arranged for a 56-year-old man with newly diagnosed hypertension. The trace is normal but the computerised report notes ‘first-degree heart block’. Looking at the ...

This is a narrow complex tachycardia with a rate of 124 beats/min. The QRS morphology and axis are normal. The QTc is prolonged, at 529 ms (normal, 390-450 ms for men). The underlying P waves appear ...

Study by scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen and collaborators in Denmark and the USA, on the genetics of accessory conduction pathways in the heart (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome), reveals that ...

It was our clinical impression that ECG evidence of pre-excitation (PE) is found more commonly in pts with tricuspid atresia (TA) than previously reported (0.29-1.3%). We attempted to determine a) the ...

Peter Spector, M.D.; Nicole Habel, M.D. With H and V-capture there is a combination of these findings. Local V activation is early, QRS onset is early, and QRS end is also early. The QRS duration is ...
