Microbubbles during pulmonary vein radiofrequency ablation
DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2011.12.004
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of the pulmonary veins carries a low risk of symptomatic cerebral ischemia but is associated with a substantial risk of silent cerebral ischemia. Recently, the mu...

BIN1 is reduced and Cav1.2 trafficking is impaired in human failing cardiomyocytes
DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2011.11.055
Background: Heart failure is a growing epidemic, and a typical aspect of heart failure pathophysiology is altered calcium transients. Normal cardiac calcium transients are initiated by Cav1.2 channels...

Renin-angiotensin blockade as primary prevention during right ventricular pacing: An alternative strategy in managing cardiac dyssynchrony
DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2011.11.053
The potentially deleterious effects of conventional right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing have been recognized increasingly, with particular emphasis on promoting cardiac dyssynchrony. Large-scale eva...
