Abstract Aims Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) results in right atrial remodelling, thus promoting the formation of a substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF). In turn, AF may cause TR by annulus dilatation. We investigated whether the presence of TR affects the efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for AF. Methods and results In patients undergoing PVI,

Microvolt T‐wave alternans (MTWA) is a marker for the development of ventricular arrhythmias (VA), but its role in early repolarization (ER) syndrome remains unknown. MTWA was detected in a 90‐second 6‐lead electrocardiogram from an ER syndrome patient. On average, MTWA was 50 μV, higher than what was observed on healthy subjects.

Accurate automatic wide QRS complex tachycardia (WCT) differentiation may be accomplished through the use of novel parameters derived from computerized data of the (i) WCT electrocardiogram (ECG) alone and (ii) paired WCT and baseline ECGs. Once automated WCT differentiation models are integrated into commercially available computerized ECG ...

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Abstract Aims The study aims to examine characteristics and outcomes associated with health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved, mildly reduced and reduced ejection fraction (EF) (HFpEF, HFmrEF and HFrEF). Methods and results Data on HRQoL were collected in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF; 2000–

Confirm‐AF is a prospective randomized, nonblinded, two arm, multicenter clinical trial, which will enroll 477 patients with a history of HF hospitalization and left ventricular ejection fraction >35% from 30 medical sites. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion to receive an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) with remote monitoring and symptom ...

Aim. To study efficacy and safety of propafenone (loading single dose of 600 mg per os) in treating atrial fibrillation (AF) paroxysms. Material and methods. The study included 233 patients with persistent AF, aged 31-62 (mean age 57.6 ± 2.8 years), from

Smartphone-based paroxysmal atrial fibrillation monitoring with robust generalization [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation is increasingly prevalent, especially in the elderly, and challenging to detect due paroxysmal nature. Here, we propose novel computational methods based on heart beat intervals to facilitate rapid and robust discrimination between atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm.
