Article Synopsis
- The Greek Myocarditis Registry was established to gather data on myocarditis symptoms, treatments, and prognostic factors, contributing to the limited existing knowledge in Greece.
- From December 2015 to November 2017, 146 patient hospitalizations were analyzed; most patients had an infection before hospitalization, with chest pain and tachycardia being the most common symptoms.
- The study found improvements in left ventricular function during hospitalization, and treatment primarily involved beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors, although biopsy procedures were rare.
Background: Despite the high prevalence of hiatus hernia, a relatively small number of echocardiographically manifested cases have been reported.
Case Presentation: An 82-year old woman presented with acute retrosternal pain indicative of cardiac etiology. Physical examination and biochemical tests, as well as 12-lead electrocardiogram, were normal.
A new nonfluoroscopic navigation system to guide pulmonary vein isolation.
Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
January 2005
Different techniques have been proposed to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) by catheter ablation. This study compares a new three-dimensional (3D) nonfluoroscopic navigation system with conventional fluoroscopy to guide pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. A total of 60 consecutive patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF were randomly assigned to 3D-guided ablation (group 1, n = 30), versus conventional fluoroscopy guidance ablation (group 2, n = 30).
