In a new survey of people with afib, most said they have ‘cold drink heart,’ meaning cold drinks sometimes lead to irregular ...

Januszewska K, Schuh A, Lehner A, Dalla-Pozza R, Malec E. Lateral atrial tunnel fontan operation predisposes to the junctional rhythm. Pediatr Cardiol. (2017) 38:712–8. doi: 10.1007/s00246-017-1571-3 ...

Atrial Fibrillation: Early restoration of normal rhythm is crucial, say doctors Some doctors said this condition of the heart is becoming more widely recognised now largely due to the increasing ...

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular heart rhythm that increases a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure, and even premature death. While many risk factors contribute to A-fib, one ...

- Electrical cardioversion and some drugs can be used to restore the normal rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter. While electrical cardioversion is highly effective in ...

Examining long-term outcomes for people with atrial fibrillation, the most common heart rhythm disorder, a new study found that 55% survived to 10 years. The researchers say it needs to be treated ...

AI trained on simple heart rate data can predict an episode of the most common heart rhythm disorder, atrial fibrillation, 30 minutes in advance, new research has shown.

Methods and Results— Four groups of goats were used: (1) sinus rhythm (SR), (2) 4 months’ AF (4 mo AF), (3) 2 months’ SR after 4 mo AF (2 mo post-AF), and (4) 4 months’ SR after 4 mo AF (4 mo post-AF) ...

The atrial rate is 84 beats/min. Because the rate of the QRS complexes is faster than the atrial rate, this is an accelerated junctional rhythm and not complete heart block in which the atrial ...

In a proof-of-concept phase 2 trial, a novel SK ion channel inhibitor successfully converted atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm compared with placebo. The researchers evaluated the efficacy of ...

Junctional rhythm was identified on the basis of an intracardiac electrogram with a low-to-high atrial activation sequence and shorter, irregular cycle length. 8101117 Once junctional rhythm during ...

Interpretation of cardiac rhythms is highly dependent on accurate detection of atrial activity. Several new enhancements were made to the previously described MAC-RHYTHM atrial analysis program, ...
