Rationale: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by transient and reversible left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which are often associated with acute physical or emotional stressors. Cancer is one of the comorbidities in TTS, and TTS is even considered as a paraneoplastic syndrome, but its mechanism remains unclear. We report a patient in whom cancer and untreated mental disorders triggered TTS.

Methods: Ten thoracic 4D-CT scans with respiratory motion and one with cardiac motion were used for the study. Ten respiratory 4D-CTs were planned with VMAT, TOMO, and IMPT for simulated AF.
Is the left bundle branch pacing a choice to conquer the right bundle branch block?-A case report.

Article Synopsis
- * A specific case showed that correcting intrinsic RBBB can be achieved by targeting the intra-Hisian left bundle branch (LBB) with different output settings.
- * LBB pacing offers a significant advantage by maintaining synchrony with a lower threshold, suggesting it may be a safe and effective option for patients with high-grade atrioventricular (AV) block and RBBB.
Objectives: To identify optimal predefined criteria (OPC) for filters of the VisiTag™ module in the CARTO 3 system during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).
Methods: Thirty patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who experienced PVI first were enrolled. PVI was accomplished by using a Thermocool SmartTouch catheter.
