Introduction A high recurrence rate of atrialfibrillation was monitored after catheter ablation for persistent atrialfibrillation. The primary outcome will be sinus rhythm maintenance rate over 12 months, monitored by random electrocardiogram and 24-h Holter electrocardiogram.
Background Atrialfibrillation (AF) represents a growing healthcare challenge, mainly driven by acute hospitalisations. Primary outcomes included admission avoidance, readmission avoidance and patient satisfaction. Results There were 50 admissions to the virtual ward between January and August 2022.
Background Atrialfibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with a high risk of stroke. Methods From January 2019 to September 2022, a total of 354 consecutive patients with NVAF were enrolled in this cross-sectional study at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University.
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of age-related features in clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of acute pericarditis, with a focus on the geriatric population. A secondary cause of pericarditis was detected in 128/471 (27.2%) patients. and G4: 16.2%; p<0.001).
Abstract Introduction In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), atrialfibrillation (AF) has historically been regarded to have a deleterious impact on clinical course, strongly associated with progressive heart failure (HF) symptoms. Therefore, we evaluated the impact of AF on QoL utilizing patient reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Ensuring a follow-up neurology appointment within two weeks is vital to managing stroke risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and atrialfibrillation. The first period, from July 2022 through June 2023, represents the timeframe before the opening of the transition-of-care clinic.
Introduction:Catheter ablation (CA) is superior to medical therapy in the management of atrialfibrillation (AF). Current guidelines do not take into consideration the history of CA or its outcome when recommending chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC). Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP283-ATP283, February 1, 2025.
with post closure atrialfibrillation rate of 7.9%. Compared to PASCAL possible and unlikely patients, PASCAL-probable patients had the highest rate of successful device implantation and the lowest closure-related adverse events rate, including post-procedure atrialfibrillation. During a median follow-up of 3.4
Studies have reported racial disparities in young stroke patients and less desired outcomes of minorities. Socioeconomic status, risk factors, stroke etiology, acute interventions and short-term outcomes were accessed. Introduction:A rising prevalence of stroke in young patients was noticed in recent years. were male, and 60.4%
We sought to evaluate the spoke hospital door in-door out (DIDO) times for patients transferred to our hub center for EVT.Methods:Individuals who first presented with LVO to a spoke hospital and were then transferred to the hub for EVT were retrospectively identified from a prospectively maintained database from January 2019 to November 2022.

4 process measures were defined a priori: antithrombotic (AT) medication, high or medium potency statin, anticoagulation for atrialfibrillation (AF), and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) 90 days or less after the consult completion. We collected administrative and chart review data for all neurology consults.
