Noninvasive phase mapping of persistent atrial fibrillation in humans: Comparison with invasive catheter mapping
ConclusionIn patients with persistent AF, phase processing of unipolar electrograms recorded by catheter mapping could reproduce electrical rotors as characterized by NEEES‐based phase mapping. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Coarse fibrillatory waves in atrial fibrillation predict success of electrical cardioversion
ConclusionClassifying persistent AF using the maximal Fw amplitude on a surface ECG is a simple and reproducible method of predicting medium‐term success of ECV, independent of traditional risk factors. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Unshielded magnetocardiography: Repeatability and reproducibility of automatically estimated ventricular repolarization parameters in 204 healthy subjects
ConclusionReliable MCG can be performed into an unshielded hospital ambulatory, with repeatability and reproducibility of quantitative assessment of VR adequate for clinical purposes. Wider clinical use is foreseen with the development of multichannel optical magnetometry. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Relation between electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with left bundle branch block: An electro ‐ and vectorcardiographic study
ConclusionIn LBBB patients, large QRS areas correlate better with mechanical dyssynchrony compared to wide QRSD intervals. However, the overall accuracy to predict mechanical dyssynchrony by electrocardiographic dyssynchrony markers, even when using complex vectorcardiographic parameters, remains low.

S ‐R difference in V1‐V2 is a novel criterion for differentiating the left from right ventricular outflow tract arrhythmias
ConclusionS‐R difference in V1‐V2 is a novel and simple electrocardiographic criterion for accurately differentiating RVOT from LVOT sites of ventricular arrhythmia origins. The use of this simple ECG measurement could improve the accuracy of OTVA localization, could be beneficial for decreasing ablation duration and radiation exposure. Further studies with larger patient population are needed to verify the results of this study. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Heart rate recovery fast ‐to‐slow phase transition: Influence of physical fitness and exercise intensity
ConclusionThe method herein presented was sensitive to exercise intensity, and partially responsive to aerobic fitness. Next studies should perform the pharmacological and clinical validations of the method. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Repetitive ‐incessant electrical storm triggered by early repolarization
We report a case with an extraordinary, extremely malignant clinical expression of ERS refractory to all antiarrhythmic drugs including quinidine. This case demonstrates real‐time changes of dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) preceding a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT)‐ventricular fibrillation (VF) and possible external factors triggering arrhythmia onset. Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) function was terminated 6 months after implantation due to multiple‐incessant electrical storm (ES). Catheter ablation was the definite treatment of this malignant entity. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Is myocardial repolarization duration associated with repolarization heterogeneity?
ConclusionRepolarization duration as measured by JTpkc is not positively associated with dispersion of repolarization as measured by TpTe or QTd. Dispersion of repolarization may not be a critical mechanistic link between QTc prolongation and TdP. (Source: Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology)

Late ‐onset severe long QT syndrome
We report a case of torsades de pointes arrhythmia as the first manifestation of congenital Long QT syndrome in a 77‐year‐old man with family history of sudden unexplained death. This case illustrates the importance of vigilant clinical assessment and genetic counseling in families with sudden death in order to identify properly asymptomatic relatives at risk for cardiac events. It also demonstrates that Long QT syndrome can still manifest with potentially fatal arrhythmias late in life in previously asymptomatic elderly patients.

Loperamide cardiotoxicity: “A Brief Review”
Loperamide is a popular antidiarrheal medication that has been used for many years. It is currently gaining more attention among healthcare professionals due to its increasing potential for side effects. At present, it is considered safe enough to be sold over the counter. In contrast with other opioid agonists, loperamide is a peripherally acting μ‐receptor agonist exerting its effects mainly on the myenteric plexus of the gastrointestinal longitudinal muscle layer. It decreases peristalsis and fluid secretion resulting in longer gastrointestinal transit time. The bioavailability of the drug is extremely low. Moreover,...

Efficacy and safety of intravenous vernakalant for the rapid conversion of recent ‐onset atrial fibrillation: A meta‐analysis
ConclusionVernakalant is effective for rapid conversion of recent‐onset atrial fibrillation into NSR. However, although it showed a safe profile in terms of side effects in this analysis, we are still hesitant about this conclusion and few safety issues should be addressed within specific patients’ subgroups.
