A 51-year-old woman presented with recurring palpitations. Electrocardiography revealed narrow QRS tachycardia with short RP configuration. Computed tomography showed coronary sinus (CS) ostial atresia along with a small persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC). Electrophysiological study identified the retrograde earliest atrial activation site (EAAS) at the CS ostium without decremental properties, and para-Hisian pacing suggested retrograde atrioventricular nodal conduction. Using a 1.6-Fr microelectrode catheter distally placed in the CS via the PLSVC, EAAS was confirmed within the left atrium, not the CS ostium. Transseptal approach revealed a left lateral accessory pathway, which was successfully eliminated.

Background: Posterior wall ablation (PWA) is commonly added to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) during catheter ablation (CA) of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare PVI plus PWA using very-high-power short-duration (vHPSD) vs standard-power (SP) ablation index-guided CA among consecutive patients with persistent AF and to determine the voltage correlation between microbipolar and bipolar mapping in AF.
Methods: We compared 40 patients undergoing PVI plus PWA using vHPSD to 40 controls receiving PVI plus PWA using SP.

Background: It is currently unknown whether 3D-mapping and micro-electrodes add meaningful benefits in catheter ablation of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome and challenging, e.g. -Hisian accessory pathways (APs).

Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is usually eliminated in the earliest activation site based on the conventional electrode of ablation catheter. However, the large size electrode may contain far-field potential. The QDOT MICRO ablation catheter has three micro electrodes with 0.

Intense inspiratory muscle work can evoke a metabolite-stimulated pressor reflex, commonly referred to as the respiratory muscle metaboreflex. When completing similar relative and absolute levels of inspiratory work, females have an attenuated blood pressure response. We sought to test the hypothesis that the lower blood pressure response to the respiratory muscle metaboreflex in females is associated with a reduced sympathetic response.
