Atrial tachyarrhythmias are defined as supraventricular tachyarrhythmias that do not require the AV node or ventricular tissue for initiation and maintenance. Therefore, this definition excludes AV junctional tachycardia, AV nodal reentrant tachycardia,
Tachycardia Chest pain Fatigue Dyspnea Syncope Confusion Mild dyspnea Embolic event If symptoms are atypical → notice signs of the underlying disorder (e.g., exophthalmos in hyperthyroidism , murmur in the case of a valvular defect) Complications of long-standing AF : Signs of heart fa...
Robert Levin, a repeat attendee of the annual Atrial Fibrillation Patient Conference, said he highly recommends the conference to anyone who is living with afib. He’s now afib-free and attends the conference because of the high quality of information (and because it’s fun!). “Do a lot ...

Besides atrial fibrillation, further electrocardiogram measurements have been reported as markers of atrial cardiomyopathy, such as a prolonged PR interval, P-wave morphology (terminal force in lead V1), paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and ectopic atrial rhythm [78,79,80]. These alterations ...
C: The last arrhythmia induced was a left focal atrial tachycardia next to the mechanical tricuspid valve. Pulmonary vein isolation was also performed because the patient had atrial fibrillation history (anteroposterior view) Red dots denote RF applications. This case is illustrated in the video 4 ...
52 However, potential benefits could result from appropriate care provided for medically actionable findings other than AF (eg, high-degree atrioventricular block, ventricular tachycardia). Among trials enrolling persons with clinical AF without a prior history of stroke, consistent evidence suggests that...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical routine. AF is related to significant morbidity and mortality caused by thromboembolism, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading t
