OBJECTIVES: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is genetically heterogeneous disorder with type-specific risk for major arrhythmic event (MAE). We performed...

INCREASED EXTRACELLULAR VOLUME IN THE VENTRICLES AFTER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH A CHANGE IN CONDUCTION VELOCITY: A COMPUTATIONAL STUDY (YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD COMPETITION)

Background: Extracellular volume (ECV) determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered a marker of diffuse myocardial fibrosis and a...

MYOCARDIAL WORK IN VENTRICULAR PREEXCITATION (YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD COMPETITION)

Background: Ventricular preexcitation alters electromechanical activation sequence and may induce left ventricular (LV) contractile discoordination and pathologic remodelling in selected...

LONG-TERM OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS WITH IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER-DEFIBRILLATORS IMPLANTED IN CHILDHOOD: TRANSVENOUS VS. NONTRANSVENOUS SYSTEM
