Detecting Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter in Daily Life Using Photoplethysmography Data
Objective: Photoplethysmography (PPG) enables unobtrusive heart rate monitoring, which can be used in wrist-worn applications. Its potential for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) has been recently presented.

Rapid wide QRS tachycardia with an unknown cause
One‐to‐one atrioventricular conduction during atrial flutter is one of the most severe life‐threatening arrhythmias and is hemodynamically perilous. Rapid wide QRS tachycardia often not only occurs in patients with ventricular tachycardia but is also ...

Diagnosing Atypical Flutter in the Post-atrial Fibrillation Ablation Patient: A Case Report
Introduction: Late atrial arrhythmias after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation occur in up to 30% of post-ablation patients and are increasingly encountered by emergency physicians.

Atypical atrial flutters [PDF]
Typical atrial flutter is due to a counterclockwise macro-re-entry circuit localized in the right atrium with a surface ECG pattern showing predominantly negative F waves in the inferior leads and positive F waves in V1. Recently it has been proposed to classify atrial flutter on the basis of its cavo-tricuspid isthmus dependence rather than on the ECG

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

Electrocardiographic patch devices and contemporary wireless cardiac monitoring. [PDF]
Cardiac electrophysiologic derangements often coexist with disorders of the circulatory system. Capturing and diagnosing arrhythmias and conduction system disease may lead to a change in diagnosis, clinical management and patient outcomes.

Body mass index, abdominal fatness, fat mass and the risk of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of prospective studies [PDF]
Different adiposity measures have been associ- ated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation, however, results have previously only been summarized for BMI. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of prospective studies to clarify

Sudden cardiac death in patients with ischemic heart failure undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting results from the STICH randomized clinical trial (Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure) [PDF]
Background—The risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with heart failure following CABG has not been examined in a contemporary clinical trial of surgical revascularization. This analysis describes the incidence, timing and clinical predictors of
