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.

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.

Atrial fibrillation? Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia? Don't look at computer read until AFTER you interpret!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The sinus node, when not interrupted, occurs more than 600 ms after the previous atrial beat, so sinus tachycardia is NOT present __ One might call this multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) , but since there are definite sinus beats which are not tachycardic, this is sinus with multifocal atrial premature beats.

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.
