Anatomical Basis for the Cardiac Interventional Electrophysiologist
The establishment of radiofrequency catheter ablation techniques as the mainstay in the treatment of tachycardia has renewed new interest in cardiac anatomy. The interventional arrhythmologist has drawn attention not only to the gross anatomic details of the heart but also to architectural and histological characteristics of various cardiac regions that are relevant to the development or recurr...
متن کاملBasic Science for the Clinical Electrophysiologist Cardiac Ion Channels
The analysis of the molecular basis of the inherited cardiac arrhythmias has been the driving force behind the identification of the ion channels that generate the action potential. The genes encoding all the major ion channels have cloned and sequenced. The studies have revealed greater complexity than heretofore imagined. Many ion channels function as part of macromolecular complexes in which...
متن کاملBasic Science for the Clinical Electrophysiologist Cardiac Metabolism and Arrhythmias
Sudden cardiac death remains a leading cause of death in the Western world, accounting for up to 20% of all deaths in the United States1,2 The major causes of sudden cardiac death in adults age 35 and older are coronary artery disease (70% to 80%) and dilated cardiomyopathy (10% to 15%).3 At the molecular level, a wide variety of mechanisms contribute to arrhythmias that cause sudden cardiac de...
متن کاملCardiac magnetic resonance in the world of the cardiac electrophysiologist: the road to real-time cardiac magnetic resonance.
Electrical isolation of pulmonary veins with radiofrequency (RF) ablation has now been widely accepted for treatment of AF in which single antiarrhythmic medication has failed (6). RF has also been shown to maintain long-term sinus rhythm in chronic AF (7). Isolation of pulmonary veins with RF catheter ablation of pulmonary veins has an encouraging success rate (7,8). The recurrence of AF has b...
متن کاملBasic Science for the Clinical Electrophysiologist Impact of Dietary Fatty Acids on Cardiac Arrhythmogenesis
A recent headline on theHeart.org was “Western Diet Increases MI Risk Worldwide.” In the past 30 years, it has become apparent that dietary fatty acids have a profound impact on the composition of plasma and cardiovascular tissue lipid pools, and as a result, on the risks of cardiovascular disease. Although significant progress has been made to reduce the incidence of death caused by coronary h...
