A multicenter analysis of implantable monitoring device-based diagnosis of supraventricular arrhythmia post patent foramen ovale closure: the OCCL-ILR study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Primary endpoint was the incidence of patients with new onset supraventricular arrhythmia (AF, atrial flutter or any supraventricular tachycardia) lasting >30s, post PFO closure.ResultsA total of 59 patients met the inclusion criteria.

Validation of Medicare Advantage Claims for Long-Term Outcome Assessment in Low-Risk Aortic Valve Replacement

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

Among all covariates, claims algorithms for covariates had sensitivities 85% for identifying diabetes, atrial flutter/fibrillation, and hypertension in MA and FFS. For the outcomes, sensitivities were 85% for bleeding (comprehensive), permanent pacemaker implantation, and death.

A fascinating electrophysiology case. What is this wide complex tachycardia, and how best to manage it?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

She also has a hx of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and is on oral anticoagulant treatment. She had a single chamber ICD/Pacemaker implanted several years prior due to ventricular tachycardia. The ECG was interpreted as showing atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. The last echocardiography 12 months ago showed HFmrEF.

Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

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. AFIB/AFL – atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter episodes.
