Not all atrial flutters demonstrate the typical "sawtooth" pattern. During the times of lesser conduction on this ECG, the flutter waves are more apparent. The atrial rate is organized at a rate of ...

Key points A 68-year-old woman from rural Ontario arrived at her local emergency department with worsening palpitations. Her medical history included breast cancer treated with surgical resection and ...

The rhythm in Figure 1 has a subtle pattern—a narrow QRS complex with alternating short and long R-R intervals, resulting in paired QRS complexes. Careful observation of V1 in Figure 2 reveals tiny ...

The QRS complexes are narrow and have a normal morphology. The axis is physiologically leftward with a positive QRS complex in lead I and II, and negative in lead aVF. The QRS complex voltage is low ...

A new method of evaluating irregular heartbeats outperformed the approach that's currently used widely in stroke units to detect instances of atrial fibrillation. The technology, called ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The AMALFI trial evaluated a completely remote approach to atrial fibrillation screening. Remote screening with ...

It's important to determine whether stroke patients also experience atrial fibrillation (Afib). Monitoring technology could make the process easier and more accurate. A new method of evaluating ...

Objective A systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression were performed on selected studies to investigate the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) among athletes compared with non-athlete ...

Tikosyn (dofetilide) is a brand-name drug prescribed for atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter in adults. Tikosyn comes as an oral capsule that’s typically taken twice per day. The dosage can ...

"Atrial fibrillation and heart failure are growing epidemics, and both beget each other." ---- Jonathan Hsu, MD, MAS, University of California San Diego “Atrial fibrillation and heart failure are ...
