Continuous positive airway pressure therapy converted atrial fibrillation in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2014
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the possible causes of atrial fibrillation (AF). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy may lower the recurrence rate of AF after cardioversion to normal sinus rhythm.

How sex affects the sinus rhythm heartbeat. [PDF]

Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc, 2023
There is increasing awareness of sex-specific differences in epidemiology and pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). It is, however, unknown whether males and females differ in atrial electrophysiological properties during sinus rhythm (SR).

High beat-to-beat blood pressure variability in atrial fibrillation compared to sinus rhythm

Blood Pressure, 2018
Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, not entirely explained by thromboembolism. The underlying mechanisms for this association are largely unknown.

Attaining sinus rhythm mediates improved outcome with early rhythm control therapy of atrial fibrillation: the EAST-AFNET 4 trial

European Heart Journal, 2022
Aims A strategy of systematic, early rhythm control (ERC) improves cardiovascular outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). It is not known how this outcome-reducing effect is mediated.

Absent fourth heart sound as a marker of adverse events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with sinus rhythm

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2022
Background Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in sinus rhythm commonly show the fourth heart sound (S4). The lack of S4 may be a marker of impaired atrial function in HCM patients with sinus rhythm.

Atrial fibrillation, electroconvulsive therapy, stroke risk, and anticoagulation

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2023
Background Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a therapy used to treat refractory mental health conditions, ranging from depression to catatonia, and it has gained renewed prominence in practice and the literature of late.

Left atrial mechanical remodelling assessed as the velocity of left atrium appendage wall motion during atrial fibrillation is associated with maintenance of sinus rhythm after electrical cardioversion in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The velocity of left atrium appendage (LAA) wall motion during atrial fibrillation (AF) is a potential marker of mechanical remodelling. In this study, we investigated whether the velocity of LAA wall motion during AF predicted the success of electrical ...

Can smartphone wireless ECGs be used to accurately assess ECG intervals in pediatrics? A comparison of mobile health monitoring to standard 12-lead ECG [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND:Arrhythmias in children are often paroxysmal, complicating the ability to capture the abnormal rhythm on routine ECG during an outpatient visit. The Alivecor Kardia Mobile (KM) device is a wireless mobile health (mHealth) device that generates
