1. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Optimization : Comparison and Evaluation of Non-invasive Methods
Abstract : The general purpose of this thesis was to investigate new cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) optimization techniques and to assess their reliability when compared to invasive measurements of left ventricular contractility (LV dP/dtmax).We first assessed whether cardiac output (CO) measured by trans-thoracic impedance cardiography could correctly identify the optimal interventricular (VV) pacing interval while using invasive measurements of LV dP/dtmax as reference.

2. Novel approaches using electrocardiographic imaging for early detection of ARVC in patients and relatives and symptoms preceding sudden death
Abstract : Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited disease of the myocardium, predominantly affecting the right ventricle (RV). Arrhythmias are common among patients with the disease and Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) can occur even in early stages. READ MORE

3. Catheter ablation compared to antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with atrial fibrillation : A study focusing on arrhythmic burden and quality of life
Abstract : Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) experience symptoms and have impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Rhythm control therapy, including antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) and catheter ablation for pulmonary vein isolation, aims to relieve symptoms and improve HRQoL. READ MORE
