The new European Society of Cardiology guideline for the management of cardiomyopathies: key messages for cardiac electrophysiologists
AbstractElectrocardiographic findings and arrhythmias are common in cardiomyopathies. Both may be an early indication of a  specific diagnosis or may occur due to myocardial fibrosis and/or reduced contractility. Brady- and tachyarrhythmias significantly contribute to increased morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiomyopathies. Antiarrhythmic therapy including risk stratification is often challenging and plays a major role for these patients. Thus, an “electrophysiological” perspective on guidelines on cardiomyopathies may be warranted. As the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has recently published a new...

Incomplete (partial) left anterior hemiblock
This report describes two electrocardiograms (ECGs) showing unusual manifestations of left anterior hemiblock (LAH). One revealed different degrees of incomplete LAH and the other documented the occurrence of 2:1 LAH. Understanding different degrees of LAH helps to interpret the ECG with regard to intraventricular conduction disorders and other ECG abnormalities.

Zero-fluoro atrioventricular-nodal reentrant tachycardia ablation
ConclusionZero-fluoro RFCA in patients with AVNRT is feasible and safe. 3D-EAM can reduce radiation exposure in the majority of patients without prolonging procedure duration or increasing complications. (Source: Herzschrittmachertherapie und Elektrophysiologie)

Die Genetik von Vorhofflimmern  – auf dem Weg in die Präzisionsmedizin
ZusammenfassungVorhofflimmern (VHF) ist eine verbreitete Herzkrankheit mit komplexer genetischer Grundlage. Trotz der Fortschritte in der Behandlung bleibt die Sterblichkeit bei VHF-Patienten hoch. Diese Übersichtsarbeit diskutiert die genetische Basis von VHF und ihre Auswirkungen auf Diagnose und Therapie. Während seit Langem eine hereditäre Komponente bei VHF bekannt war, wurden die ersten mit VHF assoziierten Gene in den frühen 2000er Jahren identifiziert. Mit Hilfe von genomweiten Assoziati onsstudien (GWAS) wurden weitere Gene und zahlreiche genetische Varianten, die mit VHF in Verbindung stehen, identifiziert. D...

Transient loss of atrial capture: the “atrial pacemaker stunning” phenomenon
AbstractAtrial loss of capture in the chronic phase after implantation may be permanent due to various causes, e.g. technical lead problems or increased scar tissue formation around the lead tip. However, it may also be transient after atrial ischemia in the context of occlusion of the right coronary artery. In this case, it may be preferable to wait for recovery, which may take up to 45  days, instead of immediately performing an atrial lead revision.
