ABSTRACT

We present an unusual case of alternating left anterior and left posterior fascicular block. Given the known risk for progression to complete atrioventricular block with alternating right bundle and left bundle branch block, we performed an electrophysiological study. Findings were consistent with infra-Hisian disease, and the patient underwent pacemaker implantation.

ABSTRACT

Establishing the precise mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias in the electrophysiology laboratory is one of the main requisites for a successful and safe ablation. This article provides an organized approach to the differential diagnosis of narrow and wide complex tachycardias based on the analysis of electrical activation patterns, followed by specific pacing maneuvers in each case.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Alcohol consumption is associated with a higher increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the acute effects on cardiac electrophysiology in humans remain poorly understood. The HOw ALcohol InDuces Atrial TachYarrhythmias (HOLIDAY) Trial revealed that alcohol shortened pulmonary vein atrial effective refractory periods, but more global electrophysiologic changes gleaned from the surface ECG have not yet been reported. METHODS: This was a secondary analysis of the HOLIDAY Trial. During AF ablation procedures, 100 adults were randomized to intravenous alcohol titrated to 0.08% blood alcohol concentration versus a volume and osmolarity-matched, masked, placebo. Intervals measured from 12­lead ECGs were compared between pre infusion and at infusion steady state (20 min). RESULTS: The average age was 60 years and 11% were female. No significant differences in the P-wave duration, PR, QRS or QT intervals, were present between alcohol and placebo arms. However, infusion of alcohol was associated with a statistically significant relative shortening of the JT interval (r: -14.73, p = 0.048) after multivariable adjustment. CONCLUSION: Acute exposure to alcohol was associated with a relative reduction in the JT interval, reflecting shortening of ventricular repolarization. These acute changes may reflect a more global shortening of refractoriness, suggesting immediate proarrhythmic effects pertinent to the atria and ventricles.

ABSTRACT

Although there is consensus on the management of patients with Brugada Syndrome with high risk for sudden cardiac arrest, asymptomatic or intermediate-risk patients present clinical management challenges. This document explores the management opinions of experts throughout the world for patients with Brugada Syndrome who do not fit guideline recommendations. Four real-world clinical scenarios were presented with commentary from small expert groups for each case. All authors voted on case-specific questions to evaluate the level of consensus among the entire group in nuanced diagnostic and management decisions relevant to each case. Points of agreement, points of controversy, and gaps in knowledge are highlighted.
