During a cryoballoon PVI, right phrenic pacing captures strongly at baseline. During freeze of the right superior pulmonary vein, diaphragmatic excursion weakens abruptly. What is the best response?
In sinus rhythm, a quadripolar catheter records a large atrial signal, small His potential, and ventricular signal between them. Fluoroscopy shows the catheter across the tricuspid annulus. Which diagnostic position is most likely?
During a generator replacement, the old pocket has friable tissue and cloudy fluid. The patient is afebrile but had recent pocket tenderness. What should the RCES support?
A diagnostic catheter thought to be in the coronary sinus shows ventricular signals larger than atrial signals and fluoroscopy suggests it is in the RV inflow. Why does this matter diagnostically?
A preexcited AF patient has the shortest preexcited RR interval measured at 220 ms. The team asks why this matters. What is the best explanation?
