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.

Detection of atrial fibrillation episodes in long-term heart rhythm signals using a support vector machine [PDF]
, 2020 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a serious heart arrhythmia leading to a significant increase of the risk for occurrence of ischemic stroke. Clinically, the AF episode is recognized in an electrocardiogram.

Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
ISRN Cardiology, 2011 Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common among surgical patients and associated with a worse outcome. Pathophysiology of POAF is not fully disclosed, and several perioperative factors could be involved. Direct cardiac stimulation from perioperative use of catecholamines or increased sympathetic outflow from volume loss/anaemia/pain may play a

Can we improve outcomes in AF patients by early therapy?
BMC Medicine, 2009 Atrial fibrillation affects at least 1% of the population and causes marked society-wide morbidity and mortality. Current management of atrial fibrillation including antithrombotic therapy and management of concomitant conditions in all patients, rate ...

Frequency Analysis of Atrial Fibrillation From the Surface Electrocardiogram [PDF]
, 2004 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Neither the natural history of AF nor its response to therapy are sufficiently predictable by clinical and echocardiographic parameters.

The incidence and risk factors for new onset atrial fibrillation in the PROSPER study [PDF]
, 2011 Aims Atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in older people. It associates with reduced exercise capacity, increased risk of stroke, and mortality. We aimed to determine retrospectively whether pravastatin reduces the incidence of
