Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is one of the most common arrhythmias detected in young patients. We report a case of a young patient with symptomatic high-burden PVC suspected to originate from the posterior right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) who underwent an electrophysiology study (EPS) and was subsequently successfully ablated with markedly reduced PVC burden. The following day, it was noted that there was a change in PVC morphology.

In this paper, the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) sought to provide practice guidance on AF screening based on recent evidence, with specific considerations relevant to the Asia-Pacific region. A key recommendation is opportunistic screening for people aged ≥65 years (all countries), with systematic screening to be considered for people aged ≥75 years or who have additional risk factors (all countries).

Background: Although the burden of premature myocardial infarction (MI) is high in Malaysia, direct evidence on the determinants of MI in this multi-ethnic population remains sparse.

Objective: The Malaysian Acute Vascular Events Risk (MAVERIK) study is a retrospective case-control study established to investigate the genomic, lipid-related, and other determinants of acute MI in Malaysia. In this paper, we report the study protocol and early results.

Article Synopsis
  • A zero-fluoroscopic technique was used for ablation of AVNRT (Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia) in a pregnant patient.
  • This approach minimizes radiation exposure to both the mother and the fetus during the procedure.
  • The case highlights the importance and feasibility of safe cardiac interventions in pregnant individuals.*
