This measurement has been correlated with those made at electrophysiology study and may predict the potential risk of rapid anterograde conduction if the person develops atrial fibrillation.

Rate vs Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Rate vs Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation Rate vs rhythm control as a management strategy in atrial fibrillation has been a long standing topic for debate. EAST-AFNET 4 trial had 2789 patients with early atrial fibrillation and cardiovascular conditions [8]. years of follow up per patient. N Engl J Med.

Brugada Syndrome: Diagnosis and Risk Stratification

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This is mainly to account for the individual variation in anatomical location of right ventricular outflow tract, the main location of electrophysiological abnormalities in Brugada syndrome. If three or more extra stimuli are needed for induction of ventricular fibrillation, the importance comes down further. mV or R/q ≥ 0.75.

Brugada Syndrome

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

I am always happy to see this ECG of Brugada syndrome sent to me by Professor Josep Brugada, in 2001, for the inaugural issue of the Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, which I started in 2001. Of course, the commonest sustained arrhythmia in general population is atrial fibrillation.
