The 3-year rate of inappropriate ICD therapy atrial flutter/fibrillation was 8% in the single-chamber versus 3% in the dual-chamber patients (P = 0.006) (Figure 1) with adjusted dual: single hazard ratio of 0.47, p=0.03. There was no difference in appropriate shocks or mortality between ...
The ICD-10 code I48 for atrial fibrillation was used to identify the patient population in this study. A possible limitation is that this also includes atrial flutter. Until 2013 it was not possible to distinguish between atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. This means that the actual number...

Seventh, while we used a broad definition for ischemic stroke using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes (eTable 1 in the Supplement), we were limited in our assessment of stroke subtype and etiology. Eighth, as an observational analysis, there is concern for residual confounding, and we are unable to...
AF = atrial fibrillation; CT(M)IDF = cavotricuspid(/mitral) isthmus dependent flutter; fAT = focal atrial tachycardia; IART = intra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia; PVA = pulmonary venous atrium; SVA = systemic venous atrium; other abbreviations as in Figure 2. Predictors of new-onset AF In ...

The primary effectiveness endpoint was freedom from recurrence of an atrial arrhythmia (AF, atrial flutter [AFL], or atrial tachycardia [AT]) during the 9-month effectiveness period (after the 90-day blanking period). Composite effectiveness failure criteria included inability to electrically isolate ...
Includes the following sections: Catheter Ablation for AF/Atrial Flutter; Prevention and Treatment of AF Following Cardiac Surgery; Rate and Rhythm Management; Prevention of Stroke and Systemic Thromboembolism in AF and Flutter; Management of Recent-Onset AF and Flutter in the Emergency Department; Sur...
FlutterSubcutaneousICDHypertrophic cardiomyopathy's (HCM) association with sudden cardiac death is well recognised. The risk of sudden cardiac death is known to increase when there is a history of unexplained syncope, abnormal blood pressure response during exercise, severe left ventricular hypertrophy or...
The rest used different methods, including ECG, Holter and the documentation of AF in medical records or according to ICD codes. Data in the literature are largely consistent with regards to A-IAB. Out of the fifteen studies, thirteen reported that the presence of A-IAB was associated with ...
