Predicting Early Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Post-Electrical Cardioversion: A Critical Look at Bilateral Atrial Function.

: The recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) after electrical cardioversion (ECV) appears to correlate with morpho-functional changes in both the left (LA) and right atria (RA). The present study focuses on identifying predictors for AF recurrence post-ECV. : Sixty-one patients were included in the study following an elective ECV with a successful conversion to SR, and were subjected to cardiovascular assessment immediately after ECV.

Does psychophysiological predictive anticipatory activity predict real or future probable events?

Background: The possibility of predicting random future events before any sensory clues by using human physiology as a dependent variable has been supported by the meta-analysis of Moss-bridge et al. (2012)(1) and recent findings by Tressoldi et al. (2011 and 2013)(2,3) and Mossbridge et al.
