Bradyarrhythmia and atrial fibrillation (AF) incidence are reported in up to 16% and 13%, respectively. Objective We conducted a systematic review evaluating AF burden and bradycardia requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation and report any predictive risk factors identified.

Initial vitals show hypertension (175/85), Atrial Fibrillation with RVR as seen in Figure 1 , hypercapnia (99mmHg), and SPO2 of 100%. Figure 1 : Initial ECG shows Atrial Fibrillation with LBBB morphology and mild discordant STE not consistent with OMI. Atropine and further doses of epinephrine were not administered.

PMH: Known paroxysmal Atrial fib. He is usually is in sinus rhythm as far as he knows, but he cannot subjectively feel atrial fibrillation, so he is never completely certain when he is in sinus or atrial fib. Here is his ECG: Atrial Fib with a Ventricular Response of about 66. He immediately completely recovered.

Interpreting the waves and detecting abnormalities: Typically, the heart conducts electricity in a pathway starting in the sinoatrial node (SA), our heart’s “natural pacemaker”, located in the wall of the right atrium. Sinus bradycardia – sinus rhythm below 60 bpm is a sinus bradycardia.

Her Apple Watch suddenly told her that she is in atrial fibrillation. Patients with healthy AV nodes who are not on AV nodal blockers and who are not hyperkalemic should have a rapid ventricular response if they have paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation. Baseline bradycardia in endurance athletes limits the use of ß-blockers.

The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of an implantable loop recorder (ILR) for arrhythmia detection including atrial fibrillation (AF) in HFnon-rEF patients after discharge. Methods and analysis This is a multicentre single arm study to evaluate the usefulness of ILR for detecting arrhythmia.
