Jul 26th, 2021 - Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequent after any cardiac surgery, but evidence suggests it may have no significant impact on survival if sinus rhythm (SR) is effectively restored early after the onset of the arrhythmia. In contrast, management of pr...

Jul 26th, 2021 - The relationship between left ventricular (LV) function and AF detection in embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) patients with insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) remains unclear. We investigated the association between LV function and AF d...

Jul 25th, 2021 - This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to clarify the role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying the association between left atrial (LA) characteristics and post-ablation atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. These char...

Jul 25th, 2021 - Embolic strokes of unknown source (ESUS) are common and often suspected to be caused by unrecognized paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). An AI-enabled ECG (AI-ECG) during sinus rhythm has been shown to identify patients with unrecognized AF. We p...

Dec 4th, 2019 - Hemodynamic management of adults with distributive shock often includes the use of catecholamine-based vasoconstricting medications. It is unclear whether adding vasopressin or vasopressin analogues to catecholamine therapy is beneficial in the ma...

Nov 4th, 2019 - Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion is an increasingly used alternative to oral anticoagulation in selected patients with atrial fibrillation. Pre-procedural imaging is a prerequisite to a successful intervention, with transesophageal ec...

May 6th, 2020 - This study will survey atrial fibrillation patients to better understand patient perspective of DOAC treatment, and providers to assess knowledge, practice patterns, and beliefs surrounding anticoagulation for AF.

May 5th, 2020 - ABSTRACT: Recent clinical trials have shown that targeting rotors and focal impulses (FIs) during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation improves outcomes. This study evaluated whether a novel computational mapping algorithm (CMA) could identify FIs an...

Apr 30th, 2020 - This registry will collect data prospectively on patients with paroxysmal, persistent and longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (hereafter "AF") undergoing Phased RFA treatment. Phased RFA will be applied according to the 'Intended Use' in C...

Apr 29th, 2020 - This is a single-arm, open-label clinical study using a cryoablation balloon device to isolate pulmonary veins during an atrial fibrillation ablation procedure. Cryo is a scientifically proven energy source used to create a thermal injury during e...

Apr 28th, 2020 - The study is a prospective, randomized, and open-label education intervention trial. Patients with AF and a CHA₂DS₂-VASc score of 2 or greater will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to an early intervention cohort and a delayed intervention cohort with...

Jul 19th, 2021 - Following a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are preferable to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in patients who are candidates for oral anticoagulants, according to data drawn from a large multicenter F...

Jul 14th, 2021 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Remdesivir treatment of lower respiratory infection in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 appears safe, even though some patients develop sinus bradycardia, a single-center prospective study from Italy suggests. "Cardi...

Jul 7th, 2021 - This transcript has been edited for clarity. Hello and welcome to this Medscape UK video. I'm Dr Rob Hicks. Today we're going to be discussing the updated atrial fibrillation diagnosis and management guideline from the National Institute for Healt...

Jul 5th, 2021 - Catheter ablation appears better than drug therapy for treating atrial fibrillation (AF) in racial and ethnic minorities, according to a new look at CABANA trial data. CABANA, which was undertaken to compare catheter ablation and rate-control or r...

Jun 28th, 2021 - People ask me if they should drink more red wine. They ask me this repeatedly. Ever since 60 Minutes ran their story on the French Paradox, people are fixated on the idea that red wine can lower your risk of having a heart attack even if everythin...
