Introduction And Objectives: Iron deficiency (ID) is a well-known prognostic marker in heart failure (HF), independent of anemia. However, its impact in acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) is not well established.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patients admitted with ACS from January to December 2019.
Background And Aim: A recent study using an epicardial-only electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI), suggests that the agreement of ECGI activation mapping and that of the contact mapping for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) is poor. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of two endo-epicardial ECGI systems using different cardiac sources and the agreement between them.
Methods: We performed 69 ECGI procedures in 52 patients referred for ablation of VA at our center.
Chemotherapy-associated cardiotoxicity is a common adverse event. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) - a new class of monoclonal antibodies - have revolutionized the management of various diseases. Their use is expected to increase in the near future and their cardiac side effects have been increasingly recognized.

Methods: 18 consecutive patients, 8 males, median age 55 (35-63) years that underwent ablation of PVCs with inferior axis and had ECGI performed before ablation. Isochronal activation maps of the RVOT in PVC were obtained with the ECGI and invasively.
