Sinus Node Dysfunction

Sinus node dysfunction refers to a number of conditions producing physiologically inappropriate atrial rates. Symptoms may be minimal or include weakness, palpitations, and syncope. Diagnosis is by...

[Comment] The long and short of antiarrhythmic drug treatment

Many patients with atrial fibrillation hardly notice the disorder; others feel and fear every abnormal heartbeat. Recurrent forms of atrial fibrillation are more often severely symptomatic than is per...

What is the relationship of left atrial stiffness and longitudinal left atrial strain with maintenance of sinus rhythm after cardioversion in patients with persistent AF? Cardiovascular Ultrasound

Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: Results from the first European registry

Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (Afib) is safe and suppresses arrhythmia recurrences in 74% of patients after a single procedure, according to results from the one-year follow-up of the Atri...

Evaluation Of The Real-Life Epidemiology Of Catheter Ablation For Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial Size Key to Afib-Pacemaker Link (CME/CE)

(MedPage Today) -- Most patients with pacemakers have atrial fibrillation detected by the device, even if they don't have a clinical history of the arrhythmia, researchers found.

Electroanatomical mapping and radiofrequency ablation of tachycardia originating in pulmonary vein in an adult patient.

A 29-year-old male was admitted to our outpatient clinic because of palpitation and documented narrow QRS arrhythmia. Based on the ECG, supraventricular tachycardia was diagnosed, electrophysiological...

Potential Benefit of Bachmann's Bundle Pacing on Left Ventricular Performance in Patients With Cardiac Resynchronized Therapy.

Background: Right atrial (RA) appendage (RAA) pacing is reported to impair hemodynamic benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) through a considerable delay of left atrial (LA) contractio...

Morphological analysis of sinus and retrograde atrial waves detected through a permanent pacemaker atrial lead.

AIMS: The main objective of this study was to characterize morphological differences between sinus and retrograde atrial waves. METHODS: We collected intracardiac atrial signals through a DDDR pacemak...

High-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis of atrial tissue proteome reveals down-regulation of fibulin-1 in atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia found in clinical practice. We combined high-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry (MS) to compare...

Presence of accessory left atrial appendage/diverticula in a population with atrial fibrillation compared with those in sinus rhythm: a retrospective review.

Accessory left atrial appendages and atrial diverticula have an incidence of 10-27%. Their association with atrial fibrillation needs to be confirmed. This study determined the prevalence, number, siz...
