Currently, radiofrequency (RF) energy is the most widely accepted and used method for arrythmia ablation. However, RF ablation has potential disadvantages such as endocardial disruption, charring, platelet activation and thrombus…
Objectives Previous studies have demostrated that left atrial appendage (LAA) has a role in initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF) and is the major source of thromboembolism. In this…
Objective Since the recognition that atrial fibrillation(AF) may originate from triggers within the pulmonary veins(PVs) and that ablation can eliminate these triggers, interest in PV anatomy has increased. Variations in…
Objectives Left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology has a role in initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF) and has been shown to be the major source of thromboembolism. Data on…
Objective After acute myocardial infarction (AMI), patients have a high incidence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether active training…
Precordial thump; just a myth or a lifesaver in malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmia? Background After occuring of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia; mortality rate is increased by % 7 to…
Background Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to achieve and maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual performance. The autonomic dysfunction is one of the well-known etiologic factors of…
Objective Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors might prolong the QT interval on elelctrocardiogram and rarely lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Increased P-wave dispersion have been reported to be related with increased risk…
QT dispersion is the difference between longest and shortest QT duration which shows the myocardial repolarisation’s regional heterogeneity. The regional conduction delay or changes in conduction way cause action potential…
The incidence and severity of arrhythmias increase during pregnancy. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, increased plasma volume, increased sympathetic activity and hormonal changes were suspected. Estrogen increases excitability in…
