Short and Intermediate Term Outcomes of the Convergent Procedure: Initial Experience in a Tertiary Referral Center [PDF]

, 2020
PURPOSE: The Convergent procedure is a hybrid, multidisciplinary treatment for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) consisting of minimally invasive surgical epicardial ablation and percutaneous/catheter endocardial ablation.

Sick sinus syndrome diagnosed after a sinus arrest during treatment for zygomatic fracture: a case report

BMC Oral Health, 2023
Background Intraoperative sinus arrest is rarely seen during zygomatic fracture treatment. The patient was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome based on repeated postoperative sinus arrest, which could have resulted in death if diagnosed late, making this ...

Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2012
This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

Recurring patterns of atrial fibrillation in surface ECG predict restoration of sinus rhythm by catheter ablation [PDF]

, 2014
Background Non-invasive tools to help identify patients likely to benefit from catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) would facilitate personalised treatment planning.

Prevalence of pathological arrhythmia in patients triaged to “cardiac arrhythmia” in the emergency department: a preliminary study

International Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2022
Background Symptoms caused by cardiac arrhythmia are common problems that lead to presentation to the emergency department. However, the prevalence of pathological heart rhythm in patients triaged for cardiac arrhythmia in the emergency department ...

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]

, 2013
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.

In vivo dose measurement using TLDs and MOSFET dosimeters for cardiac radiosurgery. [PDF]

, 2012
In vivo measurements were made of the dose delivered to animal models in an effort to develop a method for treating cardiac arrhythmia using radiation. This treatment would replace RF energy (currently used to create cardiac scar) with ionizing radiation.

Awe proneness links RSA and trait creativity in dyslexia

Journal of Creativity
The parasympathetic nervous system promotes positive emotions, such as awe, that foster creativity. Resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia, a parasympathetic measure of heart rate variability, is elevated in children with dyslexia, but whether this ...
