Sep 22nd, 2022 - Patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) are at increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, the exact underlying mechanisms of SCD in PPCM remain unknown. By means of extended electrocardiographic monitoring, we aimed to systemati...

Aug 30th, 2022 - Atrial fibrillation (AF) screening trials have failed to demonstrate a significant reduction in stroke risk. The impact on stroke severity and the importance of prior strokes are unknown. To assess stroke characteristics in patients undergoing imp...

Aug 27th, 2022 - The natural history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after the first clinical AF episode is not well known. AF burden is of clinical significance as it may have clinical implications concerning the long-term management of the arrhythmia and ...

Aug 26th, 2022 - Randomized studies have reported low rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) after patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure (<6%) but have relied on patient-reported symptomatic episodes, so the true incidence and timing of AF after PFO closure remain unknown...

Aug 25th, 2022 - Controversies in Stroke: Should Patients With Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source Undergo Intensive Heart Rhythm Monitoring With an Implantable Loop Recorder?|2022|Kim AS,Kamel H,Bernstein RA,Manchanda M,Caprio FZ,|

Aug 8th, 2022 - Within four weeks of consent, subjects will have an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) (Medtronic LINQ) device implanted. Subjects will be given a transmitter/charger and a Patient Care Assistant which they will be required to keep for the duration o...

Jul 19th, 2022 - Atrial flutter is a common condition that is effectively treated by ablation using radiofrequency. Due to its feasibility, effectiveness and low procedural risk, radiofrequency ablation is a first-line treatment of atrial flutter. Several studies ...

Jul 14th, 2022 - RESEARCH QUESTION: In syncope patients at least 50 years of age, a strategy of first conducting a tilt table (HUT) will provide an earlier diagnosis at less cost than a strategy of first implanting an implantable loop recorder (ILR). BACKGROUND: S...

Jul 12th, 2022 - Patients who have ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation at least 48 hours after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a higher risk of sudden cardiac death. Current guidelines recommend that for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, pa...

Jun 29th, 2022 - Baseline investigations will depend on the clinical presentation of the athlete. Three groups are identified: Asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic: anosmia, ageusia, headache, mild fatigue, fever ≤3d, myalgias ≤3d , mild upper respiratory tract illness...

Dec 20th, 2021 - Given today's short hospital stays after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), there may be a role for selective long-term monitoring to flag delayed conduction abnormalities, studies showed. Researchers tested two continuous ECG monitori...

Oct 4th, 2021 - In the early days of the pandemic, we were debating the merits of telemedicine to avoid bringing patients into the office. I was very much in favor of telemedicine, but some of my colleagues argued that seeing patients in person in the clinic gave...

Aug 29th, 2021 - UPDATED AUGUST 30, 2021 // Maybe short, asymptomatic bouts of atrial fibrillation (AF) that show up on long-term, continuous monitoring aren't worth hunting for just so oral anticoagulation (OAC) can be started, even in elderly people with other s...

Aug 23rd, 2021 - This transcript has been edited for clarity. I'm Dr Neil Skolnik. Today we are going to discuss the 2021 Guideline for the Prevention of Stroke in Patients With Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) from the American Heart Association/America...

May 6th, 2021 - Obesity is well known to promote atrial fibrillation (AF), and catheter ablation can dramatically cut back on AF prevalence. But assigning patients to a structured obesity-reduction program after AF ablation may not enhance the treatment's effect ...
