TL;DR: Subclinical atrial tachyarrhythmias, without clinical atrial fibrillation, occurred frequently in patients with pacemakers and were associated with a significantly increased risk of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism.

TL;DR: Electrocardiographic monitoring with an ICM was superior to conventional follow-up for detecting atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke in patients with cryptogenic Stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Among patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, there was no reduction in the rate of recurrent atrialfibrillation when either linear ablation or ablation of complex fractionated electrograms was performed in addition to pulmonary-vein isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Rapid Atrial Pacing Structural, Functional, and Electrophysiological Characteristics of a New Model of Sustained Atrial Fibrillation
TL;DR: In this article, two-dimensional echocardiography was performed in 11 dogs to assess the effects of rapid atrial pacing on atrial size, which was defined as the ability to induce sustained repetitive atrial responses during programmed electrical stimulation and was assessed by extrastimulus and burst-pacing techniqu...

TL;DR: Trypanocidal therapy with benznidazole in patients with established Chagas' cardiomyopathy significantly reduced serum parasite detection but did not significantly reduce cardiac clinical deterioration through 5 years of follow-up.
