Conduction and depolarisation in the heart have always interested clinical electrophysiologists. The mapping of conduction is performed more and more in laboratories. Much less attention has been paid to the repolarisation process, although interest in this is increasing.
The repolarisation phase is of great importance for malignant arrhythmias. It is carried by many ionic movements and can be…

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is associated with atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia, but a patient showing a pre-excitation syndrome on electrocardiogram (ECG) may remain asymptomatic. The main problem is that some of these asymptomatic patients or patients with re-entrant tachycardia are at risk of sudden death.1 The studies of patients with aborted sudden death indicated that in…

Introduction
The Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a hereditary arrhythmia syndrome manifesting as recurrent syncope or sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to polymorphic ventricular (VT) or fibrillation (VF) in the absence of overt structural heart disease or myocardial ischaemia.1,2 The prevalence of the syndrome is estimated at around 15 per 10,000 in South East Asia including Japan and around 2 per 10,000…

In recent years, there have been many advances in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias in children. This paper focuses on some of these advances, and gives an overview of relevant studies. Special attention is paid to technological advances that have created the possibility of using devices like an implantable loop recorder or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in even small…
