An intra-atrial repair of transposition of the great arteries (called Mustard or Senning operation) is an example of the enormous progress in cardiosurgery. It has enabled a longterm survival of patients born with this fatal in its essence heart disease. Although a more optimal, anatomical meth...
Atrial fibrillation is a rapid heart rate caused by chaotic electrical impulses in the atria. These signals result in rapid, uncoordinated, weak contractions of the atria. Atrial fibrillation 房颤 心房颤动是由心房内混乱的电脉冲引起的心率增快。这些信号导致心房快速、不协调、微弱收缩。 The chaotic ele...
Arrhythmia, variation from the normal rate or regularity of the heartbeat, usually resulting from irregularities within the conduction system of the heart. Arrhythmias occur in both normal and diseased hearts and have no medical significance in and of th

●Atrial flutter: A condition caused by a rapid discharge of abnormal electrical impulses from the right atrium. Typically, the right atrium fires at a rate of 300 beats per minute, but only every other beat is conducted through the AV node, meaning that the ventricular rate is classically ...
With atrial flutter, the heart rate exceeds 300 beats per minute, with regular undulating flutter waves instead of P waves. This can also be seen in conjunction with second-degree AV block. QRS complexes are normal in configuration. The ventricles respond to the flutter waves in a periodic ...
Smartwatch and fitness band wearable consumer electronics can passively measure pulse rate from the wrist using photoplethysmography (PPG). Identification of pulse irregularity or variability from these data has the potential to identify atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF, collectively). The rapidly...
Patients with both atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) present unique diagnostic and management challenges No randomized trial has demonstrated that pharmacological rhythm control confers a reduction in mortality compared with rate control in patients with both AF and HF Studies of highly ...
In most studies, the effects of gene therapies have been demonstrated in animal models of MI and atrial fibrillation. In general, these strategies resulted in a reduced rate of occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias; reduced ventricular arrhythmia inducibility, assessed by programmed electrical stimulation...
