Sinus node re-entry (SNR) usually appears as a single beat. Tachycardias (SNRT) consistent with sustained SNR were seen in six patients and were initiated by premature stimulation of the high right atrium (six patients) and coronary sinus (four patients), and after continuous pacing from the high right atrium (four patients) or right ventricle (one patient) at rates of 130 to 200 per minute. During SNRT: (1) atrial beats exhibited a high-to-low atrial activation sequence, (2) the P-waves were similar in morphology to P-waves during sinus rhythm, and (3) re-entry in the A-V node or at the site of stimulation could be excluded. The cycle length of SNRT ranged from 625 to 320 msec. and SNRT either terminated spontaneously (six patients) or after premature atrial capture and/or vagal maneuvers (two patients). The electrophysiologic characteristics of SNRT and differentiation of SNRT from A-V nodal re-entry are discussed.

Cardioneuroablation for reflex syncope or functional bradyarrhytmias: new insight from a single center experience.
Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, General Regional Hospital "F. Miulli", Bari, Italy.
Background: Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a new approach to treat reflex syncope and functional bradyarrhytmias caused by autonomic imbalance. We report our experience using CNA.
Method: From September 2022 to July 2023, we took care of 21 patients (mean age 42 ± 21 years; 62% male) affected by reflex syncope or functional bradyarrhythmias.

Background: Earlier studies have documented the risk for sinoatrial node injury and phrenic nerve paralysis as complications following radiofrequency catheter ablation for electrical isolation of the superior vena cava (SVCI).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of SVCI in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing pulsed field ablation (PFA) METHODS: Six hundred sixteen consecutive patients undergoing PFA for pulmonary vein isolation plus SVCI were included in this multicenter analysis. Superior vena cava (SVC) ablation was performed under the continuous guidance of intracardiac echocardiography.
A New Mechanism of Supraventricular Tachycardia: Gene Mutation.

Department of Cardiology, Hospital of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is very common in daily clinical practice, especially in the emergency department, with rapid onset and urgent management. The review highlights the recent genetic predispositions and mechanisms in SVT.
Methods: Through analysis of epidemiology, familial clustering, and gene mutations of the relevant literature，the review elucidates the genetic properties and potential pathophysiology of SVT.
Global Health Inequities in Electrophysiology Care: A State-of-the-Art Review.
JACC Adv
December 2024
Division of Cardiology, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
This state-of-the-art review examines disparities in the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of cardiac arrhythmias globally. These arrhythmias include atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachyarrhythmias underlying sudden cardiac death, and bradyarrhythmias associated with sinus node and atrioventricular node disease. Arrhythmias in low- and middle-income countries often result in higher mortality rates due to complex and poorly documented risk factors, lack of clinical expertise among health care personnel, lack of sufficient infrastructure, and challenges in access to care.
