The Role of Imaging in Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation by Pasquale Notarstefano, Michele Ciabatti, Carmine Marallo, Mirco Lazzeri, Aureliano Fraticelli, Valentina Tavanti, Giulio Zucchelli, Angelica La Camera, Leonardo Bolognese

“…Ventricular tachycardia (VT) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with structural heart disease. While catheter ablation has become a cornerstone in VT management, recurrence rates remain substantial due to limitations in electroanatomic mapping (EAM), particularly in cases of deep or heterogeneous arrhythmogenic substrates. …”

Tuning of optical band gap and photoluminescence behaviours of 1D-ZnO decorated with ZrO2 (ZnO-NRs/ZrO2 core-shell) nanostructured materials by pulse laser deposition technique by Megha Prajapatizz, Abhinav Mahapatra, G. Maity, Prashant Kumar Mishra, Sekhar Chandra Ray, Susanta Sinha Roy

“…Abstract The one-dimensional (1D) ZnO-NRs/ZrO2 core-shell nanostructures were prepared by coating thin ZrO2 layers on the surface of 1D-ZnO-NRs using a novel pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique at different temperatures and varying oxygen pressure during the deposition process. Morphological and structural characterizations confirm the uniform deposition of 1D-ZnO-NRs by the deposited ZrO₂ shell. …”
