In the first part of this 2-part video series, Professor Oldenburg discusses the key issues in the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing in atrial fibrillation patients. The panel then move into a discussion of some open questions raised by this research.
In this video, Dr Elaine Y Wan (Columbia University, New York, NY, US) moderates a discussion with Dr Andrea Russo (Cooper University Hospital, Camden, New Jersey, US), Dr Yong-Mei Cha (Mayo Clinic Rochester, Rochester, MN, US) and Dr Tina Baykaner (Stanford University, Stanford, CA, US) where they discuss the procedural differences between men and women in device implantation.
In the second part of this two-part series, Dr Wan and the panel discuss post-operative considerations for female patients with implantable devices.

In the first part of this two-part series, Dr Wan outlines the anatomical differences in female and male patients that must be considered when implanting cardiac devices, and the panel discuss the key questions associated with preop and intraop device implantation in female patients.
Luuk Heckman, from the Prof. Kevin Vernooy’s group at the Maastricht University Medical Center, provides Arrhythmia Academy with an overview on the performing AV node ablation and left bundle branch area pacemaker implantation in a single procedure.
Dr Andreu Porta-Sánchez provides Arrhythmia Academy with a concise and excellent ‘how-to’ overview of Decrement Evoked Potential (DEEP) Mapping for VT substrate ablation in a challenging substrate.
With special thanks to Veronica Torralba @vtorralba78 for her technical support in recording the case. Further presentations from Dr Porta-Sánchez on DEEP mapping will be delivered at the following upcoming meetings on the Annual Signals Summit and the Cleveland Clinic for further details.
This latest video from Arrhythmia Academy’s Journal Club examines the topic of myocardial fibrosis as a predictor of arrhythmic events, with consideration of scar and arrhythmia risk in two patient populations: coronary artery disease and in patients with a recent MI.
Prof Leyva (Birmingham, UK) presents the results from his latest publication in JACC with Zegard, Okafor, de Bono et al. on Myocardial Fibrosis as a Predictor of Sudden Death in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease. The results of which show a clear relationship between the presence or absence of scar and grey zone mass in patients with myocardial fibrosis, as an indication of the arrhythmic risk, which is superior to LVEF.
Dr Berruezo (Barcelona, ES) presents his recent study which considers the CMR determinants of VA events after MI. Results showed that reclassifying patients by BZ fibrosis mass with scar mass analysis is a better way of identifying both cases and controls, superior to LVEF.
The panel discuss if, based on these recent studies, an assessment of myocardial fibrosis would be preferable to LVEF in selecting patients for ICD therapy. Next steps and future challenges will also be discussed.
Dr Valentina Kutyfia (Rochester, NY, US) moderates this thought-provoking discussion.
