Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radiotherapy (STAR) in patients with therapy-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT), where limited previous data exists.
- Six male patients, median age 73, received STAR treatment, and results showed a 67% success rate in reducing VT-episodes by at least 50% within 12 months after treatment.
- No adverse effects on heart or lung function were observed, and no serious treatment-related complications occurred during follow-up.
Background: Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is diagnosed in patients with sudden onset of ventricular fibrillation of unidentified origin. New diagnostic tools that can detect subtle abnormalities are needed to diagnose and treat patients with an underlying substrate.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore echocardiographic deformation characteristics in IVF patients.
Background: Endocardial pacemaker leads and right ventricular (RV) pacing are well-known causes of tricuspid valve, mitral valve, and cardiac dysfunction. Lead-related adverse consequences can potentially be mitigated by leadless pacemaker (LP) therapy by eliminating the presence of a transvalvular lead. This study assessed the impact of LP placement on cardiac and valvular structure and function.
