Stereotactic Radioablation for the Non-Invasive Treatment of Cardiac Arrhythmias: From the Perspective of the Cardiac SBRT Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital
12/02/2019
The birth of cardiac catheter ablation in the late 1970s was an inflection point in the world of cardiac electrophysiology. No longer did simple arrhythmias treatable by focal ablation require open surgery. With the advent of radiofrequency...

Central Sleep Apnea: A Team-Based Approach to Recognition and Therapy
12/02/2019
The role of sleep-disordered breathing is well recognized as a comorbid condition in heart and vascular patients. Assessment and therapy of sleep apnea is considered part of the “standard of care” for patients with heart failure and atrial...

Using a Novel Cardiac Monitor to Find the Cause of Syncope: The Diagnosis is Only as Good as the Data
12/02/2019
Syncope can be one of the most challenging symptoms to manage because its etiology is wide ranging. In some cases, syncope resolves on its own with little problem. In other cases, it may indicate imminent cardiac arrest or be the harbinger of...
