  Article: HANDS-ON REVIEW Establishing the Mechanism of Supraventricular Tachycardia in the Electrophysiology Laboratory 1

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common disorder which is associated with significant morbidity due to recurrent symptoms and multiple hospital visits. With advancements in mapping and ablation technology, most of the patients with SVT are now treated with radiofrequency ablation. However, for the procedure to be highly effective and safe it is imperative that the mechanism of tachycardia be understood accurately. The current paper reviews various tachycardia features and maneuvers that help to correctly establish the mechanism of various narrow complex SVTs.

  ABSTRACT: Optimal management of renal artery stenosis has continued to remain elusive. The previous non randomized studies and registry data suggested a benefit of renal artery stenting. However, the recently completed randomized studies comparing renal stenting to medical management failed to show any benefit. These studies had some flaws in their design and methodology. In an appropriately selected patient population renal artery stenting may have a role. In addition, there might be some role of adjunctive therapies like antiplatelet medications and embolic protection. This review summarizes the current literature on this controversial topic.

  Dataset: Defibrillation Threshold Testing: A Primer

  Khalil Kanjwal, Sumeet K Mainigi
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators lower mortality in appropriately selected patients. Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing has traditionally been an inherent part of the implant procedure. Emerging data have begun to question the safety, benefits, and necessity of routine DFT testing. In this review we discuss defibrillation, outline the risks and benefits of DFT testing and outline an algorithm for treating patients with an elevated DFT.
