Background: Prior studies of cardiac rhythm management devices (pacemakers [PM] and implantable cardioverter defibrillators [ICD]) utilization in the United States have been limited to Medicare population. We evaluated national trends for implantation PMs ICDs including burden device replacement. Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried identify PM ICD patients between 1993 2006 using ICD-9-CM codes, demographics, health profile, economic data. Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)...
Diagnosing atypical atrioventricular node-dependent long RP supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) can be challenging.Nineteen patients with 20 SVTs (atypical nodal reentrant tachycardia without [n=11]/with [n=3] a bystander nodofascicular [NF] accessory pathway, orthodromic reciprocating [ORT] using decremental [permanent form of junctional tachycardia; n=4] or NF [NF n=2]) pathway underwent electrophysiological study. Postpacing interval (PPI)-tachycardia cycle length (TCL), corrected PPI,...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has been linked a worse prognosis. The current study aimed to determine the outcomes of AF catheter ablation CA.
Abstract Introduction High‐power short‐duration (HPSD) ablation is a novel strategy using contact force‐sensing catheters optimized for power‐controlled radiofrequency atrial fibrillation (AF). This study investigates the outcomes of HPSD (50 W delivered up to 15 s, Lesion Size Index 5–6) compared standard‐power standard‐duration (SPSD) (20–25 until 400–500 gram seconds, 60 s) and temperature‐controlled noncontact (TCNC) (20‐40 s ablation) settings. Methods We studied consecutive cases...
Mobile electrocardiograms (ECGs) (mECGs) using smartphone applications are an emerging technology.In the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era, minimizing patient contact has gained increasing importance.Additionally, increased QT/corrected QT (QTc) monitoring concurrently been required.The KardiaMobile 6L ECG device, cleared by United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for recording ECGs, along with KardiaStation tablet application is a platform (AliveCor, Mountain View, CA, USA)...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is highly prevalent among cancer patients. The role of traditional risk stratification scores in the context different types these patients remains unknown. purpose this study was to determine discriminative accuracy CHA2DS2VASc score for ischemic stroke using receiver operating characteristic and area under curve. National Readmission Database (2015-2019) used identify all AF stratified by diagnosis, type, category (low; moderate; high risk). Outcomes at 30-day...
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the risk of subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) compared to those cryptogenic stroke using implantable loop recorders (ILR). Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis 273 consecutive who had ILRs inserted at our institution for either (n = 227) or CRAO 46). Our primary endpoint was time event new diagnosis AF by ILR. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used...
Abstract Background Mobile electrocardiograms (mECGs) utilizing smartphone applications are an emerging technology. Typically, a Lead I rhythm strip is recorded. However, interpretation can be difficult in patients with sinus and low amplitude P‐waves (SR‐LAP) or atrial flutter (AFL). We hypothesized that could independently obtain multi‐lead tracings using commercial mECG device, cardiologists who interpreted the would make more accurate diagnoses have confidence their compared to single...
