Ventricular tachycardia is an arrhythmia (heart rhythm disturbance) that occurs when the electrical signals in the ventricles cause the heart to beat at least three times in a row and at a rate of ...

Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an atypical heart rhythm with symptoms such as chest pain, fainting, and cardiac arrest. Without treatment, pulseless VT is fatal.

The best approach for atrial fibrillation is not the either-or of catheter ablation vs risk management, but a combination of ...

Low concentrations of three selected biomarkers in the blood of patients with atrial fibrillation identify patients with a high chance of attaining sinus rhythm. This is the main result of this ...

AFFIRM substudy finds amiodarone most effective for maintaining sinus rhythm Shelley Wood May 13, 2002 0 Mon, 13 May 2002 15:40:00 ...

Sinus rhythm was restored spontaneously within 28 days of starting treatment in 27.1% of those receiving amiodarone, 24.2% of those receiving sotalol, and only 0.8% of those in the placebo group.

In a proof-of-concept phase 2 trial, a novel SK ion channel inhibitor successfully converted atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm compared with placebo. The researchers evaluated the efficacy of ...

The presence of sinus rhythm at 4 weeks occurred in 193 of 212 patients (91%) in the delayed-cardioversion group and in 202 of 215 (94%) in the early-cardioversion group (between-group difference ...

Within the VA cohort of ECGs, the AI model predicted AF within 31 days of sinus rhythm with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.86 (95% CI, 0.85-0.86), accuracy ...
