Automatic Mode Switching in Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Automatic mode switching (AMS) algorithms were designed to prevent tracking of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATA) or other rapidly occurring signals sensed by atrial channels, thereby reducing the adverse hemodynamic and symptomatic consequences of a rapid ...

Non-valvular atrial fibrillation and stroke : implications for management [PDF]
Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation is more prevalent with increasing age. It is associated with a six-fold excess risk of stroke; and a cumulative lifetime stroke risk of 35%. 15% of ischaemic strokes are directly attributable to it.

Atrial Fibrillation or Sinus Rhythm?
Attempts to improve quality of life by restoring sinus rhythm will usually be unsuccessful. —The AFFIRM Trial Investigators ([1][1]) Restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm was associated with significant increases in a number of quality of life measurements.

Frequency Analysis of Atrial Fibrillation From the Surface Electrocardiogram [PDF]
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.

Arrhythmia Classification from the Abductive Interpretation of Short Single-Lead ECG Records
In this work we propose a new method for the rhythm classification of short single-lead ECG records, using a set of high-level and clinically meaningful features provided by the abductive interpretation of the records.

Atrial Fibrillation and Hyperthyroidism [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation occurs in 10 – 15% of patients with hyperthyroidism. Low serum thyrotropin concentration is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Thyroid hormone contributes to arrythmogenic activity by altering the electrophysiological

Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes of Patients Hospitalized for Acute Heart Failure Who Develop Atrial Fibrillation or Convert to Sinus Rhythm [PDF]
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in acute heart failure (AHF), with a prevalence of approximately 35%. However, little is known about the clinical characteristics and outcomes of in-hospital conversion from AF ...

Pattern of initiation of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in recorded intracardiac electrograms [PDF]
Background: By analyzing stored intracardiac electrograms during spontaneous monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), we examined the patterns of the VT initiation in a group of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).
