Background: In 2011, the American Board of Medical Specialties established clinical informatics (CI) as a subspecialty in medicine, jointly administered by the American Board of Pathology and the American Board of Preventive Medicine. Subsequently, many institutions created CI fellowship training programs to meet the growing need for informaticists. Although many programs share similar features, there is considerable variation in program funding and administrative structures.

We assessed the AF occurrence frequency and predictors according to the nature of SVTA and completion of SVTA ablation.
Methods And Results: 4169 patients were referred for SVTA (typical AVNRT: 1338, AVRT over a concealed accessory pathway: 329, atypical AVNRT: 205, AFL: 1321; PS: 976); mean age was 50±20years; electrophysiological study (EPS) was systematic; patients were followed for a mean duration of 3±4.
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFL) are frequently associated. We assessed the frequency and identified the predictors of AF occurrence after AFL ablation.
Methods And Results: A total of 1,121 patients referred for AFL ablation were followed for a mean duration of 2.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the prevalence and factors related to 1:1 atrial flutter (AFL), finding that it occurred in 8% of patients undergoing AFL ablation.
- Among the 85 patients with 1:1 AFL, they were typically younger and were less likely to have heart disease, but more likely to have a history of atrial fibrillation and use class I antiarrhythmic medications.
- The outcomes following ablation, including recurrence rates and complications, were similar for patients with and without 1:1 AFL, indicating comparable prognoses.
Aims: Orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (ORT) is the most common arrhythmia at electrophysiological study (EPS) in patients with pre-excitation. The purpose of the study was to determine the clinical significance and the electrophysiological characteristics of patients with inducible antidromic tachycardia (ADT).
Methods And Results: Electrophysiological study was performed in 807 patients with a pre-excitation syndrome in control state and after isoproterenol.
