2020 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation developed in collaboration with European Association Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS)
Patients with frequent episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) are prone to develop permanent AF and have an increased thromboembolic risk. We previously shown that P wave dispersion (P dispersion), defined as the difference between maximum minimum duration, duration maximum) can distinguish patients lone AF. The ability those ECG markers other clinical variables detect at risk for recurrent was tested in 88 patients, aged 64 +/- 12 years. All had a history symptomatic during last 2...
Recently, it was demonstrated that the QT-RR relationship pattern varies significantly among healthy individuals. We compared intra- and interindividual variations of relationship. Twenty-four-hour 12-lead digital electrocardiograms (ECGs; SEER MC, GE Marquette; 10-s ECG recorded every 30 s) were obtained at baseline after 24 h, 1 wk, mo in 75 subjects (42 women, 33 men, age 27.9 ± 9.6 vs. 26.8 7.5 yr, P = not significant). QT interval measured automatically each by six different algorithms,...
Abstract Aims Sudden cardiac death (SCD) annual incidence is 0.6–1% in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≥40%. No recommendations for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) use exist this population. Methods and results We introduced a combined non-invasive/invasive risk stratification approach post-MI ischaemia-free patients, LVEF ≥ 40%, multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study. Patients at least one positive...
Abstract Commercially available health technologies such as smartphones and smartwatches, activity trackers eHealth applications, commonly referred to wearables, are increasingly used both in the leisure healthcare sector for pulse fitness/activity tracking. The aim of Position Paper is identify specific barriers knowledge gaps use particular heart rate (HR) tracking, clinical cardiovascular support their implementation into care. widespread HR fitness tracking provides unparalleled...
To evaluate the impact of meteorological variables on daily and monthly deaths caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI).All death certificate data from Athens territory were analysed for AMI in 2001. Daily atmospheric temperature, pressure relative humidity obtained National Meteorological Society same year.The total annual number was 3126 (1953 men) a population 2,664,776 (0.117%). Seasonal variation significant, with average winter being 31.8% higher than summer (9.89 v 7.35, p <...
Ambulatory ECG (AECG) is very commonly employed in a variety of clinical contexts to detect cardiac arrhythmias and/or arrhythmia patterns which are not readily obtained from the standard ECG. Accurate and timely characterization crucial direct therapies that can have an important impact on diagnosis, prognosis or patient symptom status. The rhythm information derived large AECG recording systems often lead appropriate patient-specific medical interventional management. details this document...
We aim to provide a critical appraisal of basic concepts underlying signal recording and processing technologies applied for (i) atrial fibrillation (AF) mapping unravel AF mechanisms and/or identifying target sites therapy (ii) detection, optimize usage technologies, stimulate research aimed at closing knowledge gaps, developing ideal technologies. Recording techniques assessment electrical activity during essential diagnosis guiding ablative including body surface electrocardiograms (ECG)...
P wave dispersion (P dispersion), defined as the difference between maximum and minimum duration, duration maximum) are electrocardiographic (ECG) markers that have been used to evaluate discontinuous propagation of sinus impulses prolongation atrial conduction time, respectively. To study effects myocardial ischemia on maximum, 95 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) typical angina pectoris 15 controls anginalike symptoms underwent 12‐lead surface ECG during after relief pain. During...
To determine whether different methods for the manual measurement of P wave duration are mutually consistent, we evaluated intraobserver and interobserver errors measurements obtained in three ways: (1) by cursor on a high resolution computer screen (on screen), (2) calipers magnifying glass paper), (3) digitizing board board). The agreement between was assessed 30 normal subjects patients with history atrial fibrillation. maximum (P maximum), minimum minimum), mean mean), dispersion = ‐...
Exercise electrocardiography is an imperfect test for the detection of coronary artery disease. We attempted to improve diagnostic accuracy exercise testing as a noninvasive method disease by using combination left and right precordial leads.
