Impact of Renal Impairment on Beta-Blocker Efficacy in Patients With Heart Failure. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Moderate and moderately severe renal impairment are common in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, but whether beta-blockers are effective is unclear, leading to underuse of life-saving therapy.

Targeted Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia Guided by Wavefront Discontinuities During Sinus Rhythm: A New Functional Substrate Mapping Strategy.

Circulation, 2019
Background: Accurate and expedited identification of scar regions most prone to reentry is needed to guide ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. We aimed to prospectively assess outcomes of VT ablation guided primarily by the targeting of deceleration ...

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

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2014
Background: Obstructive 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. We report a case of AF

Association of Rivaroxaban With Thromboembolic Events in Patients With Heart Failure, Coronary Disease, and Sinus Rhythm: A Post Hoc Analysis of the COMMANDER HF Trial.

JAMA cardiology, 2019
Importance Whether anticoagulation benefits patients with heart failure (HF) in sinus rhythm is uncertain. The COMMANDER HF randomized clinical trial evaluated the effects of adding low-dose rivaroxaban to antiplatelet therapy in patients with recent ...

A study on stability analysis of atrial repolarization variability using ARX model in sinus rhythm and atrial tachycardia ECGs [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Background The interaction between the PTa and PP interval dynamics from the surface ECG is seldom explained. Mathematical modeling of these intervals is of interest in finding the relationship between the heart rate and ...

Rivaroxaban in Patients with Heart Failure, Sinus Rhythm, and Coronary Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 2018
Background Heart failure is associated with activation of thrombin‐related pathways, which predicts a poor prognosis. We hypothesized that treatment with rivaroxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, could reduce thrombin generation and improve outcomes for ...

Myocardial Architecture and Patient Variability in Clinical Patterns of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

, 2016
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke by a factor of four to five and is the most common abnormal heart rhythm. The progression of AF with age, from short self-terminating episodes to persistence, varies between individuals and is poorly ...
