Diastolic left ventricular functionEchocardiography in patients with atrial fibrillation is challenging due to the varying heart rate. Thus, the topic of this expert proposal focuses on an obvious gap in the current recommendations about diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF)—the peculiariti...
In the multivariate regression model, it can be observed that in the primary outcomes of this study, after adjusting factors such as INR, eGFR, WBC, etc., it can still be observed that the mortality rate increases with the increase of SHR, and this trend is statistically significant. In ...
Despite slow progression rate of disease in general, NAFLD and associated pro-atherogenic milieu significantly increases other combined cardiology problems, in addition to coronary artery disease. Echocardiographic and electrocardiographic abnormalities have been reported in patients with NAFLD28,29. In particu...
Patients in the fibrosis-guided ablation plus PVI group experienced a higher rate of safety outcomes (9 [2.2%] vs 0 in PVI group; P = .001). Six patients (1.5%) in the fibrosis-guided ablation plus PVI group had an ischemic stroke compared with none in PVI-only group. Two ...
although they provide high sensitivity, their specificity is lower which can cause anxiety, create extra work and cost verifying diagnosis with an ECG [26]. Although the interest of the older population in technology has increased in recent years, the rate of use of smart phones or other device...
Investigators analyzed the safety of the procedure, defined as the 30-day rate of device-related or procedure-related adversecardiac events(all-cause death, stroke, systemic embolism, need for open cardiac surgery, or major endovascular surgical repair) in the reduced and preserved LVEF groups; hea...

(i.e., rhythm versus rate control) should also be considered as they may differ between patients with and without AF associated hemodynamic instability, for example. Patient-important outcomes are a consideration, as they are more likely to be concerned with risk of stroke, quality of life, ...
displayed in Table1. HCM patients had a bigger inter-ventricular septum and a smaller LV than Non-HCM patients, but all other clinical characteristics were similar between groups. The frequency of pacemakers was similar between groups, but ICDs were more common among HCM patients (8% vs. 4%)...
