Purpose We sought to validate the total atrial conduction time (TACT) measurements through tissue doppler imaging (TDI) by comparing with the electrophysiologic study (EPS) measurements in different age and sex…
Background Delayed atrial conduction time, as measured by tissue doppler, is an independent predictor of new onset or recurrent atrial arrhythmias. The aim of this study was to evaluate the…
Objectives Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with radiofrequency and cryoballoon are the two standard ablation systems used for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). With starting become widespread in recent years;…
Aim AV disosiation is one of the most specific sign in the differential diagnosis of wide QRS complex tachycardia. However,it has low sensitivity. We aimed to detect visible p wave…
The rate of implanted cardiac device infections ranges from 0.8 to 5.7 percent according to some reports. We report a very rare case of relapsing brucellosis due to intracardiac lead…
Introduction Amiodarone is a potassium channel blocking antiarrythmal medication with a widely use in cardiac patients. It has a documented side effects including neurologic, gastrointestinal, dermatologic, cardiovascular, and ophthalmic. The…
Objective Abnormal ventricular repolarization, particularly in structural and arrhythmic heart diseases, is the marker of arrhythmogenesis and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Tpeak-end interval shows left ventricular transmural dispersion of repolarization…
A 56 years old male patient without a history of cardiac disease referred to our emergency department from community hospital due to cardiopulmonary arrest having successful resuscitation. On initial examination…
Objective To determine compliance to anticoagulant therapy and the time in therapeutic range (TTR) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who were on oral anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K…
Objective Pacemaker lead extraction procedures are being increasingly performed due to infection or pacemaker lead failure. Here we report a case presenting with asymptomatic tricuspid stenosis (TS) following a complex…
