Outcomes of ablation with the FARAPULSE PFA System – a nonthermal treatment in which electric fields selectively ablate heart tissue – will be compared to outcomes following use of anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy, which is commonly prescribed for patients living with persistent AF. The company now anticipates U.S. Circulation.
male with pertinent past medical history including Atrialfibrillation, atrialflutter, cardiomyopathy, Pulmonary Embolism, and hypertension presented to the Emergency Department via ambulance for respiratory distress and tachycardia. He was noted to have irregular heartrhythm with rates 120-170s.
Let's first consider the heart rate: with a heart rate of 194 beats/min, the heart rate is too low for atrialflutter (1:1) (except in patients who have been pre-treated with medication), and the rate would be unusually high for atrialflutter with 2:1 conduction.
intermittent) atrialfibrillation (AF) and is a unique new alternative to standard-of-care thermal ablation treatment. intermittent) atrialfibrillation (AF) and is a unique new alternative to standard-of-care thermal ablation treatment. said Nick Spadea-Anello, president, Electrophysiology, Boston Scientific.
Continue reading to learn more about this procedure, its significance in treating atrialfibrillation, and what to expect during treatment. What is AtrialFibrillation? Before diving into electrical cardioversion, we should understand atrialfibrillation (AF). What Is Cardioversion?
He cardioverted to sinus rhythm, and a 12-lead was obtained. What is the diagnosis from the above rhythm strip? To me, it was clearly atrialflutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 280 is just right for atrialflutter. The waves look like atrialflutter waves, NOT like a wide ventricular complex.
The electrical conduction system [1] In schematic depiction of a normal sinus rhythm the P-wave represents atrial depolarization, the QRS complex symbolizes ventricular depolarization, and the T-wave indicates ventricular repolarization. Sinus tachycardia – sinus rhythm above 100 bpm is a sinus tachycardia.
a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech , today announced European CE mark approval of the VARIPULSE Platform for the treatment of symptomatic drug refractory recurrent paroxysmal atrialfibrillation ( AF ) using pulsed field ablation (PFA). AtrialFibrillation. Circulation.
REM Sleep: Each percent increase in nightly REM sleep duration was associated with a lower risk of atrialfibrillation, atrialflutter, and bradycardia (an abnormally slow heartrhythm). Going to bed at a “normal” time of day also appeared to be highly impactful to health.
