Atrial fibrillation often shortened to AFib is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to serious health complications. If you or someone you know is living with AFib, understanding the condition and how to prevent attacks is crucial. What Is AFib? How Do You Know If You Have AFib?

Slow VT below the detection rate of the ICD lead to worsening heart failure and low stroke volume. Lowering the back up rate (LRL) of the ICD/pacer allowed for an intrinsic rhythm with physiologic AV conduction and normal AV synchrony with resultant increase in stroke volume and cardiac outpt.

tim.hodson Thu, 03/27/2025 - 12:18 March 27, 2025 Abbott recently announced it has received CE Mark in Europe for the Volt PFA System to treat patients battling atrial fibrillation (AFib). Today, approximately 8 million Europeans over the age of 65 are living with AFib, a number expected to double over the next 30 years.

During its Annual Conference, HRS 2024, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) announced findings from three new studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of pulsed field ablation (PFA), a nonthermal ablation treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). See full findings from the FARADISE, admIRE Study, and Advent Trial here.

The big risk of AF is thought to be an increased risk of strokes and therefore when we see patients above the age of 65, or patients who carry comorbidities we recommend lifelong anticoagulation and as long as the patient is anticoagulated, we feel that the patient is safe. We never really think beyond the risk of stroke.

There is very little filling, and thus very poor stroke volume. WPW Cardiac arrhythmias ( especially AFib ). We did a bedside echo (original quality was not so good, and this is moreover an iPhone video of the screen -- but it is good enough): Notice how small the LV cavity is. It is only a slit.

Furthermore, it includes the latest recommendations which specifically address AF and thromboembolic risk assessment, anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion, AF catheter or surgical ablation, and risk factor modification and AF prevention. By 2030, it is estimated that AF prevalence in the United States will rise to 12.1 million.

Boston Scientific made what could become a major addition to its electrophysiology portfolio, acquiring AFib mapping startup Cortex, Inc. Cortex gives Boston Scientific a new mapping technology that detects AFib signs and triggers outside of the pulmonary veins, and can help EP teams develop ablation strategies for more complex AFib cases.

I interpreted the rhythm as AFib ( A trial F ibrillation ). I therefore interpreted the rhythm as AFib with a controlled ventricular response ( with those baseline undulations representing "fib" waves ). QUESTION: Was the rhythm still AFib right before spontaneous conversion to sinus rhythm with beat #11? Take another LOOK.
