It is also published in Heart Rhythm , the official journal of the HRS, Journal of Arrhythmia , the official journal of the APHRS, and Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology , the official journal of the LAHRS. Antiarrhythmic drugs are advised for some patients to prevent arrhythmia recurrences early after the procedure.

Abstract Introduction Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is a prevalent chronic arrhythmia associated with severe complications, including stroke, heart failure, and increased mortality. Results/Observation Current Afib detection methods, such as electrocardiography, have limitations in sensitivity and specificity.

Objective To report the number of thromboembolic complications in a cohort of pediatric and young adult patients presenting with atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter (AFl) while also assessing anticoagulation practice in a multicenter cohort of young patients with these arrhythmias.

This could be easily overlooked since there is complete heart block, but recognizing the atrial arrhythmia may mean prescribing anticoagulation to prevent stroke. The April 6, 2023 post — excessive baseline artifact misdiagnosed as AFib ( instead of sinus rhythm with AV Wenckebach — as in Figure-4 in this post ).

The QRS is wide in B — but the rhythm is irregularly irregular with no sinus P waves — so this most probably represents rapid AFib with an atypical RBBB/LPHB morphology. We now see that QRS morphology in lead II during sinus rhythm is similar to the QRS morphology in lead II during rapid AFib (beats #1-5 in lead II in A).

Since the patient was stable and tolerating the arrhythmia it was decided to treat with IV Amiodarone for medical conversion. KEY Point: Nothing other than AFib with WPW results in a ventricular response this fast ( which is why Figure-2 is pathognomonic for AFib in a patient with WPW ). Smith : What do you think?

Patient was referred to electrophysiologic testing due to suspicion of afib and WPW. During electrophysiologic testing AVRT was induced, which degenerated to afib with ortho and antidromic conduction. PEARL #2: When AFib is fast — it often "looks" regular. Echocardiography was normal.

Background Atrial fibrillation, the most sustained common arrhythmia, is increasing in incidence and prevalence in the United States and globally. Stages of AF The previous classification of AF was based on arrhythmia duration which placed more emphasis on therapeutic interventions once AF was diagnosed.

By 1909 ECGs were being used to diagnose cases of arrhythmia; by 1910 to diagnose indicators of a heart attack. Another vendor to watch in this space is Israeli start-up CardiaCare, currently developing a ‘world-first’ closed-loop, neuromodulation wearable for the non-invasive treatment for AFib.

By this I mean — that it includes all arrhythmias in which the rate is “ T achycardic” ( ie, ≥100/minute in an adult ) — and , in which the rhythm is “ S upra V entricular” ( ie, originating at or above the AV node ).
