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 ...
latter than in the former. Simultaneous occurrence of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter in different parts of the atria has been confirmed in patients undergoing ablation of atrial flutter and has been attributed to a possible functional interatrial block as the mechanism.79 ...
atrial flutter (Figure 1) with variable AV conduction, multifocal atrial tachycardia (Figure 2), and wandering atrial pacemaker. Conversely, a regular pulse or rhythm does not exclude AF. For example, AF can manifest with a regular ventricular response in the presence of AV block or with a ...
Atrial FlutterSubcutaneous ICDHypertrophic 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 ...
Individuals were excluded from the study primarily if they had any current or prior diagnosis of AF, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia; were already prescribed anticoagulation therapy; or had an implantable pacemaker, defibrillator, or both. For the routine care, observational cohort, 2 matched ...
In various implementations, the pace-to-pace interval may have a variable or constant length. ATP therapy may be delivered to treat atrial flutter, for example. Therapy for atrial fibrillation may involve cardioversion shocks to the heart that may be initiated automatically or by the patient. ...

Medtronics, Inc. sells an ICD that uses the Haar wavelet transformation to perform CWA against a template. The Haar transforms are used in this ICD to distinguish ventricular tachycardia (VT) from super ventricular tachycardia (SVT) events, such as atrial fibrillation or flutter or rapid rate si...

(AF) is not to be understood as a clearly defined disease (ICD-10), but rather as a symptom or syndrome such as angina pectoris, dyspnea, heart failure (HF) or fever. Often AF is part of a syndrome with several additional symptoms, regardless of whether we can distinguish the natural ...
