DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12032
Abstract: An important therapeutic modality for heart failure with left ventricular dyssynchrony, left ventricular lead placement, cannot be achieved due to anatomic challenges in some cases. In the current case, a novel implantation technique to overcome… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)33440-9
Abstract: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy is often due to a reentrant mechanism. Focal VT due to microreentry at the lead-myocardial tissue surface is a rare and challenging clinical scenario. A 69 year… read more here.
