TL;DR: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the fast pathway using a combined anatomically and electrogram-guided stepwise approach is highly effective and safe and seems to be due to the stable position of the ablation catheter at the interatrial septum, rather than across the tricuspid annulus.

TL;DR: Combination of late potential analysis and wavelet correlation functions increases the prognostic value for serious arrhythmic events after myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Although programmed ventricular stimulation seems to predict adverse outcome, serial drug testing is unreliable in guiding therapy and implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator should be considered early for the management of these patients.

TL;DR: There are several promising new techniques for identification of patients at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and these techniques seem to be superior to more conventional methods such as long-term ECG monitoring as well as exercise testing.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extracted and combined non-invasive risk parameters from the signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG) and heart rate variability (HRV) based on 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiology to optimize the prognostic value for arrhythmic events after acute myocardial infarction.
