Increasing Level of Interleukin-1β in Epicardial Adipose Tissue Is Associated with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: It is suggested that regional IL-1β in EAT was an independent risk factor of persistent AF, which may promote the persistence of AF.
Journal ArticleDOI

An SVM approach for identifying atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: An automated algorithm is designed to classify short electrocardiogram (ECG) strips into four categories: normal rhythm, atrial fibrillation, noisy segment, or other rhythm disturbances based on identification of the R peak and recognition of the other ECG waves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery is associated with adverse outcome

TL;DR: Patients with pre- or postoperative AF were at higher risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and congestive heart failure, but not of myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke.

Efficacy and Safety of Uninterrupted Periprocedural Edoxaban in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation - The Prospective KYU-RABLE Study.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the efficacy and safety of uninterrupted edoxaban administered once daily in the morning, with one dose delayed on procedural day, in patients with AF undergoing CA, which was associated with a low risk of periprocedural thromboembolic and bleeding complications.

Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. TOAST. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment

TL;DR: The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement and should allow investigators to report responses to treatment among important subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins

TL;DR: The pulmonary veins are an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and these foci respond to treatment with radio-frequency ablation.
