Background: Bundle branch re-entrant ventricular tachycardia (BBRVT) is a monomorphic ventricular arrhythmia with wide QRS complexes caused by re-entrant tachycardia between both bundle branches. BBRVT can occur in a variety of cardiac pathologies wi...
Objectives: We sought to investigate the rates of same-day discharge (SDD) post elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at our institution and review its safety by examining clinical outcomes. We also performed an economic analysis evaluati...
The purpose of this literature review is to gain an overview of the role of platelet-activating factor (PAF) within each of the body systems and how it contributes to normal and pathophysiological states. The review showed that there are multiple fun...
Background: Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defects (ASD) is being more commonly performed due to changes in international guidelines supporting its use. This study was performed to determine the clinical outcomes...
Body surface potential mapping (BSPM) is a noninvasive modality to assess cardiac bioelectric activity with a rich history of practical applications for both research and clinical investigation. BSPM provides comprehensive acquisition of bioelectric...
Since its inception, the electrocardiogram (ECG) has been an essential tool in medicine. The ECG is more than a mere tracing of cardiac electrical activity; it can detect and diagnose various pathologies including arrhythmias, pericardial and myocard...
Syncope of cardiac origin may be associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death if not treated in a timely and appropriate manner. The diagnostic approach of syncope imposes a significant economic burden on society. The investigation and e...
The ambulatory ECG (AECG) is an important diagnostic tool for many heart electrophysiology-related cases. AECG covers a wide spectrum of devices and applications. At the core of these devices and applications are the algorithms responsible for signal...
This chapter is a review of studies that have examined false arrhythmia alarms during in-hospital electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring in the intensive care unit. In addition, we describe an annotation effort being conducted at the UCSF School of Nu...
Computerized electrocardiography (ECG) has been widely used and allows linkage to electronic medical records. The present study describes the development and clinical applications of an electronic cohort derived from a digital ECG database obtained b...
