Scar characteristics derived from two- and three-dimensional reconstructions of cardiac contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images: Relationship to ventricular tachycardia inducibility and ablation success
Conclusions By CE-MRI, we were able to characterize not only the scar, but also its location and heterogeneity, and those features seemed to be related to VT inducibility and successful ablation from an endocardial site. (Source: Journal of Arrhythmia)

Efficacy of ranolazine in preventing atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery: Results from a meta-analysis
Conclusions Ranolazine may prove beneficial in POAF prevention following cardiac surgeries. Although the pooled treatment effect is quite impressive with a reduction of more than 50% of risk of developing POAF, small number of studies and variation in ranolazine dose regimen in each study make our results inconclusive, but worthy of further investigation. That is why this result has to be interpreted as only hypothesis generating, rather than conclusion drawing. (Source: Journal of Arrhythmia)

Pulmonary vein potential mapping in atrial fibrillation with high density and standard spiral (lasso) catheters: A comparative study
Conclusion High-density mapping with a Basket Catheter, such as the HDMM, detects PVPs that remain undetected when using the standard AC catheter in CBA procedures. (Source: Journal of Arrhythmia)

Manifestation of J wave induced by acetylcholine applied for a coronary spasm provocation test in a patient with aborted sudden cardiac death
Publication date: Available online 23 November 2016 Source:Journal of Arrhythmia Author(s): Hiroyuki Kodama, Kazumasa Fujita, Shouhei Moriyama, Kei Irie, Hirotaka Noda, Taku Yokoyama, Mitsuhiro Fukata, Takeshi Arita, Keita Odashiro, Toru Maruyama, Koichi Akashi A 51-year-old man with a resuscitation episode was referred to our hospital. Coronary angiography revealed a focal spasm overlapped with organic stenosis where a bare metal stent was implanted. Acetylcholine (ACh) provocation test did not induce chest pain. It revealed no discernible ST-T changes but unmasked a J wave at the end of the QRS complex, whic...

Diffuse interstitial fibrosis assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance is associated with dispersion of ventricular repolarization in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Conclusion Diffuse interstitial fibrosis is associated with increased dispersion of ventricular repolarization in leads, reflecting electrical activity in the hypertrophied septum. Interstitial fibrosis combined with ion channel/gap junction remodeling in the septum could lead to inhomogeneity of ventricular refractoriness, resulting in increased QTc dispersion in leads V1–V4.

Remote magnetic catheter navigation versus conventional ablation in atrial fibrillation ablation: Fluoroscopy reduction
Conclusions In radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation, RMN appears to significantly reduce fluoroscopy time compared with conventional MAN ablation, though at a cost of increased total procedural time, with comparable acute success rates and safety profile. A reduction in procedure and fluoroscopy times is possible with gaining experience. (Source: Journal of Arrhythmia)
