The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) published the complete set of 2010 Atrial
Fibrillation (AF) Guidelines in the January, 2011 issue of the Canadian Journal of Cardiology. …

Background—The activation patterns that underlie the irregular electrical activity during
atrial fibrillation (AF) have traditionally been described as disorganized or random. Recent …

Background—Establishing a diagnosis in patients with unexplained syncope is complicated
by infrequent and unpredictable events. Prolonged monitoring may be an alternative …

Background—We report the first successful slow pathway ablation using a novel catheter-based
cryothermal technology for the elimination of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia …

The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines program was
developed to aid clinicians in the management of these complex patients, as well as to …

OBJECTIVES This study examined the effect of physiologic pacing on the development of
chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF) in the Canadian Trial Of Physiologic Pacing (CTOPP). …

Background Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia and a leading
cause of cardiovascular morbidity, particularly stroke. The cardiac gap-junction protein …

Background— Cardiac arrest without evident cardiac disease may be caused by subclinical
genetic conditions. Provocative testing to unmask a phenotype is often necessary to detect …

Background— Surgery can eliminate atrial fibrillation (AF), but data confirming the rationale
for specific lesion sets are lacking. We used postoperative electrophysiological studies to …

Objectives : We sought to assess the cost implications of two investigation strategies in
patients with unexplained syncope. Background : Establishing a diagnosis in patients with …
