Introduction: The clinical presentation of cardiac sarcoidosis is diverse. Detection of granuloma in histopathological evaluation proves the diagnosis, but endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is associated with a high sampling error. However, prompt immunosuppressive therapy may significantly affect patient's prognosis.

- Electrical storm (ES) is a serious condition characterized by repeated episodes of dangerous heart rhythms (ventricular arrhythmias) occurring within 24 hours, requiring medical intervention.
- It mainly affects patients with existing heart issues or those with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and it poses significant health risks despite advanced treatments.
- The increasing number of older patients with heart conditions and ICDs suggests that the incidence of ES is likely to rise, prompting the need for comprehensive management strategies and a multi-disciplinary approach.
Background: Electrical storm (ES) represents a serious heart rhythm disorder. This study investigates the impact of ES on acute ablation success and long-term outcomes after VT ablation compared to non-ES patients.
Methods: In this large single-centre study, patients presenting with ES and undergoing VT ablation from June 2018 to April 2021 were compared to patients undergoing VT ablation due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias but without ES.
Background: Data about ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in patients with electrical storm (ES) is limited.
Objectives: This study sought to compare the prognostic outcome of patients undergoing VT ablation after ES with and without a septal substrate.
Methods: In this large single-center study, consecutive patients presenting with ES and undergoing VT ablation from June 2018 to April 2021 were included.
Aims: Pulmonary vein isolation using radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment option for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). Application of high power over a short period of time (HPSD) is reported to create more efficient lesions and may prevent collateral thermal oesophageal injury. This study aims to compare efficacy and safety of two different HPSD ablation approaches using different ablation index settings.
