In critically ill patients, fluid infusion is aimed at increasing cardiac output and tissue perfusion. However, it may contribute to fluid overload which m
Pulmonary vein antrum isolation for treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients with valvular heart disease or prior open heart surgery The goal of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of pulmonary vein antrum isolation in patients with moderate valvular heart disease or open-he...

The standard deviation (SD) of the mean HR during follow-up was calculated for each patient. The SD of heart rate (HR-SD) was used to assess visit-to-visit heart rate variability (VVHRV), and patients were categorized into quartiles (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) based on their HR-SD....
Two researchers (AH, ET), independently applied the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist to assess the quality of the studies selected for inclusion [21] (Table1).
