Duodromic atrioventricular reentry tachycardia: a case report of a rare adenosine insensitive supraventricular tachycardia.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Arrhythmology, Pacing and Electrophysiology Unit, Cardiology Service, Santa Marta Hospital, Central Lisbon Hospital University Centre, R. de Santa Marta 50, Lisboa 1169-024, Portugal.
Background: Accessory pathways (AP) are associated with an increased risk of atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (AVRT), presenting as a wide QRS tachycardia if the mechanism is antidromic. Rarely, AVRT may not respond to adenosine, suggesting a duodromic mechanism if the patient has multiple APs. Herein, we present a case of a male patient with multiple APs, wide QRS complex tachycardia, and resistance to adenosine.

January 2025
Douala Gyneco-obstetric and Pediatric Hospital/University of Douala, Douala, Cameroon.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the management and diagnosis of Wolf-Parkinson White Syndrome (WPW) and asymptomatic pre-excitation in Africa, highlighting a lack of data in the region.
- Conducted in 20 centers across 17 African countries, the research involved 541 participants and focused on symptomatology, treatment approaches, and the impact of local health dynamics on care.
- Results indicated that a vast majority were diagnosed with WPW, with significant regional differences in treatment options and effectiveness, showing that Northern and Southern Africa have more advanced practices compared to other areas.
Pre-excitation alternans in a cat.
J Vet Cardiol

Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center of Thousand Oaks, 2967 North Moorpark Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360, USA.
A nine-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat presented on referral for evaluation. The cat presented to its primary veterinarian for acute onset vomiting, panting, and weakness. An electrocardiogram performed at the regular veterinarian was concerning for ventricular tachycardia, and the cat was referred for further evaluation.

November 2024
Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Arrhythmias Complex Unit, Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how the electrophysiological properties of ventricular pre-excitation change in young athletes over time, particularly when assessing their eligibility for sports participation.
- A total of 44 pediatric patients were monitored over a minimum of two years, showing significant changes in parameters such as the accessory pathway's effective refractory period during stress tests, suggesting a need for regular follow-ups.
- The findings indicate that some patients shifted their risk profiles for cardiac issues, emphasizing the necessity of repeat electrophysiological evaluations to ensure accurate risk assessments for athletic activities.
Catheter ablation in a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy: A case report and literature review.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Rationale: Preexcitation syndrome is an uncommon congenital cardiac disorder that impairs the normal cardiac conduction system. Radiofrequency ablation is one of the most effective treatments for this condition. Nevertheless, radiofrequency ablation is rare in women with preexcitation syndrome during pregnancy.
