DOI: 10.1002/clc.22931
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart‐rhythm disorder, affecting about 1.5% to 2% of the population with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity due to stroke, thromboembolism, and heart failure. If the conversion back… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12740
Abstract: Usually, superior vena cava (SVC) entrance block is confirmed when SVC potentials disappear during sinus rhythm. We present a case of pseudo SVC entrance block during sinus rhythm, which was uncovered by continuous atrial pacing. read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00392-021-01810-5
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Cerebrovascular complications and bleeding events associated with anticoagulation therapy are discussed to be possible causes for this increased mortality. The present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10840-020-00793-z
Abstract: Purpose Scars and abnormal electrograms may significantly differ according to the activation wavefront. We propose a new fast technique for reliable comparison between sinus rhythm and ventricular pacing using a single map acquisition and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12265-019-09936-8
Abstract: Different arrhythmogenic substrates for atrial fibrillation (AF) may underlie aortic valve (AV) and mitral valve (MV) disease. We located conduction disorders during sinus rhythm by high-resolution epicardial mapping in patients undergoing AV ( n = 85)… read more here.
