Atrial fibrillation (AF) is less common in young, highly trained people than in older adults, yet endurance athletes may develop the arrhythmia more often than…

Fast ventricular tachycardia (VT) occupies an important middle ground in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy. It may be too rapid to tolerate…

Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a disorder of an otherwise appropriate cardiac rhythm that becomes persistently or disproportionately fast without an…

Outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias are among the most common idiopathic ventricular rhythm disorders encountered in electrophysiology practice. Premature…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic liver disease frequently coexist, creating a difficult balance between thromboembolism and bleeding. Liver dysfunction can…

Remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices has become a central part of contemporary electrophysiology. Pacemakers, implantable…

Arrhythmias can appear before, during, or after a noncardiac operation, even in patients without a documented history of rhythm disease. Surgical stress,…

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead surveillance remains clinically important years after implantation. Sprint Fidelis and Riata leads are no…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) frequently coexist, creating a cycle of electrical and mechanical…

Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is a potentially reversible form of left ventricular dysfunction caused by a sustained or frequently recurring rapid cardiac…
