In this new monthly section, authors provide five tips on solving common concerns in the EP lab. In this month’s column, the author provides five ways to identify and diagnose AV nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT).
Sorin Group Cardiac Rhythm Management announced the first implant in a clinical trial of its new-generation PARADYM™ 8770 sonR™1 cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D). This system contains a unique technology named sonR™ designed to adjust CRT delivery based on hemodynamic response as opposed to conventional CRT-D devices, that monitor the electrical activity of the heart. PARADYM™ sonR™ is the first device delivering continuous management of resynchronization therapy during patients' everyday life.
Stereotaxis, Inc. announced the first-ever bi-directional live case transmission and training course recently conducted via the Stereotaxis Odyssey™ Network. The Odyssey Network connected electrophysiologists at San Raffaele University Hospital in Milan, Italy with their colleagues at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Georgia. Using the Odyssey Network, clinicians in Milan and Gainesville transmitted consecutive live cases performed on their respective Stereotaxis Niobe® Magnetic Navigation Systems, enabling the viewing of the cases at both locations in real-time.

Attention Readers: Practical EP addendum
The editors of Practical Electrophysiology would like to point out a correction made in Table 27.1 on page 210. Please note that this table heading should read "Table 27.1: Isoproterenol Infusion Rate (µg/min) for Single-Stage HUT”. Please make a note of it in your records that it should read micrograms, not milligrams. We sincerely regret the error.

On November 15, 2007, Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (TCAI) and St. David’s Medical Center unveiled a technologically advanced training center that is the first of its kind in the region. It is equipped with audiovisual capabilities to allow trainees to attend live cases while also closely viewing the treatment field and communicating with the operating physicians.
