Infusion needle radiofrequency ablation for treatment of refractory ventricular arrhythmias

…, UB Tedrow, V Reddy, A AbdelWahab… - Journal of the American …, 2019 - jacc.org
Background : Catheter ablation is effective for eliminating most drug-refractory ventricular
arrhythmias (VA). However, a major reason for procedural failure is arrhythmia originating …

An integrated management approach to atrial fibrillation

…, JL Sapp, C Gray, A Abdelwahab… - Journal of the …, 2016 - Am Heart Assoc
Background Atrial fibrillation ( AF ) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia
resulting in mortality and morbidity. Gaps in oral anticoagulation and education of patients …

Ablation compared with drug therapy for recurrent ventricular tachycardia in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: results from a multicenter study

…, AM Saguner, S Kumar, SH Baldinger, A AbdelWahab… - Heart Rhythm, 2019 - Elsevier
Background The comparative efficacy of antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy vs ventricular
tachycardia (VT) ablation in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is …

2020 Canadian Cardiovascular Society/Canadian Heart Rhythm Society position statement on the management of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in patients …

MW Deyell, A AbdelWahab, P Angaran… - Canadian Journal of …, 2020 - Elsevier
This Canadian Cardiovascular Society position statement is focused on the management of
sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) that occurs in patients …

Prospective assessment of an automated intraprocedural 12-lead ECG-based system for localization of early left ventricular activation

S Zhou, A AbdelWahab, BM Horáček… - Circulation …, 2020 - Am Heart Assoc
Background: To facilitate ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT), an automated localization
system to identify the site of origin of left ventricular activation in real time using the 12-lead …

Intramural ventricular recording and pacing in patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia: initial findings and feasibility with a retractable needle catheter

A AbdelWahab, W Stevenson… - Circulation …, 2015 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— Ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) can be limited by intramural substrate
not amenable to endocardial or epicardial ablation. Feasibility of irrigated needle ablation …

Localization of ventricular activation origin from the 12-lead ECG: a comparison of linear regression with non-linear methods of machine learning

S Zhou, A AbdelWahab, JL Sapp, JW Warren… - Annals of biomedical …, 2019 - Springer
We have previously developed an automated localization method based on multiple linear
regression (MLR) model to estimate the activation origin on a generic left-ventricular (LV) …

Rapid 12-lead automated localization method: Comparison to electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) in patient-specific geometry

…, BM Horáček, JW Warren, A AbdelWahab… - Journal of …, 2018 - Elsevier
Background Rapid accurate localization of the site of ventricular activation origin during
catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias could facilitate the procedure. Electrocardiographic …

A hybrid machine learning approach to localizing the origin of ventricular tachycardia using 12-lead electrocardiograms

…, JV Murkute, Z Li, S Zhou, A AbdelWahab… - Computers in biology …, 2020 - Elsevier
Background Machine learning models may help localize the site of origin of ventricular
tachycardia (VT) using 12-lead electrocardiograms. However, population-based models suffer …
