Operative therapy for cardiac arrhythmias: Setting the stage for catheter ablation

HeartRhythm

Notwithstanding many insightful observations, the electrocardiogram (ECG) arguably ignited the big bang in our understanding of cardiac arrhythmias. The contemporaneous evolution of cardiac surgery permitted direct access to the heart to modify arrhythmia substrate.

New Studies: AI Captures Electrocardiogram Patterns That Could Signal a Future Sudden Cardiac Arrest

DAIC

In a study published in Communications Medicine , David Ouyang, MD, assistant professor of Cardiology and Medicine at Cedars-Sinai, along with Chugh and fellow investigators trained a deep learning algorithm to study patterns in electrocardiograms, also known as ECGs, which are recordings of the heart’s electrical activity.

Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). An abnormal electrocardiogram can mean many things. Other times, an irregular recording can signal a medical emergency, such as a myocardial infarction or a dangerous arrhythmia.

Automatic and interpretable prediction of the site of origin in outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias: machine learning integrating electrocardiograms and clinical data

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The treatment of outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias (OTVA) through radiofrequency ablation requires the precise identification of the site of origin (SOO). Current clinical methods to identify the SOO are based on qualitative analysis of pre-operative electrocardiograms (ECG), heavily relying on physician’s expertise.

Atrial fibrillation screening in Syrian patients reporting to the emergency department during the ongoing conflict: a cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. Patients had routine 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) regardless of presenting complaints.

Personal recording devices for arrhythmia detection

The British Journal of Cardiology

Persistent cardiac arrhythmias are readily amenable to detection by performing a standard electrocardiogram (ECG), but detection of transient (paroxysmal) arrhythmias has long been a significant cause of frustration to both doctors and patients.
