TL;DR: Noninvasive imaging of cardiac electrophysiology might be used as a complementary noninvasive approach to localize the origin and help identify and understand the underlying mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias.

TL;DR: A bidomain theory-based surface heart model AT imaging approach was applied to single-beat data of atrial and ventricular depolarization in two patients with structurally normal hearts, and the reconstructed sinus rhythm sequence was in good qualitative agreement with the pattern previously published for the isolated Langendorff-perfused human heart.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to investigate whether transvenous lead removal is safe and effective in patients with lead vegetations greater than 1 cm in size.

TL;DR: TASS could demonstrate a poor clinical outcome in patients with asymptomatic calcified aortic stenosis which can be predicted by new risk factors such as strong AVC or increased plasma levels of CRP or NT-proBNP, but the study does not support the concept that treatment with a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (20 mg atorvastatin once daily) halts the progression of calcify aorta stenosis.

TL;DR: The results highlight the association of OCD with an increased risk profile for cardiovascular disease and suggest frequent night-calls over a longer period possibly elicit sustained alterations in cardiovascular homeostasis.
