Background Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex lesions that can cause hemorrhagic stroke and significant neurological disability. Adenosine induces cardiac standstill and ...

4 Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Objective We aimed to compare cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with standard radiofrequency ...

Many theories were advanced to explain the perpetuation of this form of AF, ranging from a single localized focal and reentrant source to diffuse bi-atrial multiple wavelets. Translating these ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac dysrhythmia encountered in practice. It is currently estimated that AF affects approximately 2% of the general population; however, the ...

Clinicians will increasingly encounter heart rhythm data generated from consumer-grade devices. Consumer-grade smartphone-paired devices and smartwatches have very high sensitivity and specificity for ...

Researchers evaluated a drug that represents a new class of anticoagulants known as Factor XI inhibitors for treating patients with atrial fibrillation as part of the AZALEA-TIMI 71 Study.

An increased burden of premature atrial contractions (PACs) has long been considered a benign phenomenon. However, strong evidence of their involvement in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), ...

Figure. WHO-recommended principles for screening. Colors illustrate compliance with screening principles for atrial fibrillation (green, fulfilled; orange, debated or dependent on the tool used; red, ...

If AF was not initiated by adenosine triphosphate and isoproterenol infusion, we induced sustained AF via rapid atrial pacing (50 ms/30 mA/5 second) at the high right atrium during isoproterenol ...
