“Pseudo” Hisian extrasystole arising from the proximal portion of the left bundle branch
The diagnosis of a Hisian extrasystole is based on simple electrocardiographic features and both an extrasystole arising from the His-Bundle ( “true” Hisian extrasystole) and also one from the proximal portion of the bundle branch (“pseudo” Hisian extrasystole) would be diagnosed as Hisian extrasystoles [1]. Here we report a case of “pseudo” Hisian extrasystole arising from the proximal portion of the left bundle branch and the successful catheter ablation was achieved in the right coronary cusp.

A QS pattern in leads V1 and V2 is associated with septal scarring independent of scar etiology - A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study
Isolated septal myocardial infarction (MI) is traditionally characterized by the presence of pathological Q waves in leads V1 and V2 on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between this ECG pattern and septal scar on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. (Source: Journal of Electrocardiology)

T wave alternans extracted from 30-minute short resting Holter ECG recordings predicts mortality in heart failure
We extracted T Wave Alternans (TWA) from a 30 minute Short Resting Holter ECG (SRH ECG) in the supine position, as a Total Mortality (TM) predictor in Heart Failure (HF). (Source: Journal of Electrocardiology)

Analysis of variability of R-R intervals for the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation: A new algorithm
Differences in successive R-R intervals (RRIs) were normalized by RRIs before and after the indexing beats (normalized DRs) in individuals with normal sinus rhythm (NSR) and 98.89% of normalized DRs were found to distribute within mean ±0.100 (≒mean±3SD), whereas 73.47% were out of this range in atrial fibrillation (AF). When 7 out 20 normalized DRs fell outside of 0.000±0.100, NSR (n=129) and AF (n=108) could be discriminated with high sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values (>99.0% for all).

ECG markers of arrythmogenic risk relationships with pericardial fat volume and BMI in patients with coronary atherosclerosis
Several novel ECG markers are proposed to predict the risk of sudden cardiac death in several clinical conditions in the recent years. However, little is known about the association of pericardial fat or obesity with these markers. (Source: Journal of Electrocardiology)

A novel three base-pair deletion in domain two of the cardiac sodium channel causes Brugada syndrome
Mutations within SCN5A are found in a significant proportion (15 –30%) of Brugada syndrome (BrS) cases and impair sodium transport across excitable cardiac cells that mediate ventricular contractions. Genetic testing offers a means to clinically assess and manage affected individuals and their family members. (Source: Journal of Electrocardiology)
