This ectopic focus becomes the predominant pacemaker of the heart. When the atrial rate is greater than 100 beats per minute, the rhythm is atrial tachycardia. If less than 100 beats per minute ...

Pacemaker implantation for tachycardia ... ablation of the right-atrial isthmus successfully treated atrial flutter. Sinus rhythm was maintained 2 months later, and amiodarone was stopped.

Patients requiring a pacemaker often have atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases the risk of thromboembolism and, consequently, the risk of morbidity and mortality. To maintain sinus rhythms ...

Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of sustained cardiac arrhythmia—or abnormal heart rhythm—in the world. It develops when the electrical signals in your heart are triggered out of ...

AF-CHF = Atrial Fibrillation and Congestive Heart Failure; AFFIRM = Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management; ATHENA = A placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel arm ...

The management of atrial fibrillation (AF) focuses on control of heart rate, correction of rhythm disturbance, prophylaxis of thromboembolism, treatment of underlying disorders, and ...

Wandering atrial pacemaker is similar to multifocal atrial tachycardia except the heart rate is normal ― that is, less than 100 beats per minute. Wandering atrial pacemaker occurs when multiple ...

UK digital health company RHYTHM AI has claimed FDA approval for a new version of its algorithm for mapping areas of the heart that are affected by atrial fibrillation (AFib) that will be rolled ...
