In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

A thrombin-like serine protease, jararassin-I, was isolated from the venom of Bothrops
jararaca. The protein was obtained in high yield and purity by a single chromatographic step …

Pacemaker treatment for bradyarrhythmia was first approved for national health insurance
coverage in Japan in 1974, and its use rapidly became widespread thereafter …

Background—Orthopedic strain and radiation exposure are recognized risk factors in
personnel staff performing fluoroscopically guided cardiovascular procedures. However, the …

Detecting low dose rates of X-rays is critical for making safer radiology instruments, but is
limited by the absorber materials available. Here, we develop bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) …

The benefits of cardiac imaging are immense, and modern medicine requires the extensive
and versatile use of a variety of cardiac imaging techniques. Cardiologists are responsible …

Abbreviations: 3D, three-dimensional; AF, atrial fibrillation; AP, accessory pathway; ARVC,
arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; AT, atrial tachycardia; AVB, atrioventricular …

Aims Aim of this study was to compare a minimally fluoroscopic radiofrequency catheter
ablation with conventional fluoroscopy-guided ablation for supraventricular tachycardias …

Aims The development of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has enabled fluoroless atrial
fibrillation (AF) ablation using three-dimensional electroanatomical map** systems …

Interventional electrophysiology offers a great variety of treatment options to patients
suffering from symptomatic cardiac arrhythmia. Catheter ablation of supraventricular and …
