Question:

What is the most probable diagnosis?

Case #56-Ali Bozorgi

History:

A 60 y/o lady, with complaints of recurrent everyday palpitations, 24h ECG Holter revealed several episodes of tachy arrhythmia, LVEF= 40%. One page of holter shown below:

Question:

What is the most probable etiology according to arrythmia behavour in ECG Holter?

Case #470-Ali Bozorgi

History:

A young boy underwent EPS for palpitations.EP trace of Ventricular pacing is shown below:

Question:

which statement is TRUE?

Case #777-Siroos Nasiri

History:

A 39-year-old man with history of DCM and reduced LVEF (25%), presented with palpitations and frequent PVC on surface ECG and Holter monitoring (PVC Burden: 40%), referred for ablation. EPS was done by 3D NAVX/Precision mapping guide. Initially, Based on surface ECG which was compatible with LV summit origin, mapping was started within CS, the best earliest signal was found in GCV (-42ms). RF applied on aforementioned area, but PVCs did not disappear. So, mapping was done via retrograde trans-aortic approach. After maintaining safe distance from LM,LCX and LAD by coronary angiography and considering correspondent point from epicardial mapping, the best earliest point was found around ILT area (-44ms). RF applied on aforementioned area and PVCs disappeared immediately.

 

Four fluoroscopic views and surface ECG are shown.

Question:

Which of the fluoroscopic views is in favor of catheter ablation position in the ILT (Inter Leaflet Triangle)?

Case #214-Hamid Khederloo

History:

A 58-year-old lady with ICD_VR who presented with diaphragmatic twitching from 4 days ago. In the surface ECG, no capture is seen during the diaphragmatic twitching, but at the same time analysis of the device, the V pace is seen at a rate of 45 beats/min. The lead impedance was also 380 ohms, which has droped by about 250 ohms in the last 4 days. It denies any palpitation, chest pain, dyspnea and ICD shock. What is the most probable diagnosis for this patient?

Question:

What is the diagnosis?

Case #59-Ali Bozorgi

History:

A 40 y/o man with narrow complex tachycardia. Both ECG and EP tracing are shown.

Question:

What is your diagnosis?

Case #560-Ali Bozorgi

History:

A 52-year-old woman with episodes of syncope underwent a Brugada challenge test, in which she was given 400 mg of oral flecainide. The results of the test are shown below.

Question:

What statement is wrong?

History:

A 30 y/o lady with atypical chest pain underwent echocardiography & then candidated for catheterization.

Question:

Can you guess the procedure?

History:

A 40 y/o woman came to your clinic for evaluation of chest pain. She claimed that she suffer from exertional chest pain for many years.

Question:

what is your diagnosis?

Case #369-Ali Bozorgi

History:

Below you can find the movie of 3D mapping of atrial flutter performed with Ensite Precision. 

Question:

Which statement is NOT correct?

Question:

Which statement is true?
