Article Synopsis
- Differentiating between ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide tachycardia (SWCT) using 12-lead ECG is challenging and has traditionally depended on manual interpretation, which can be limited by the user's expertise.
- Recent research has introduced automated algorithms that may offer improved accuracy over manual methods, but there has been little direct comparison between these two approaches.
- A study by LoCoco et al. (2024) evaluated the effectiveness of traditional manual ECG differentiation methods against five automated algorithms, analyzing 213 ECGs to assess their diagnostic performance.
Background: Anemia is frequently observed as a comorbidity in atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in elderly patients and in those on anticoagulation. This has been associated with poor clinical outcomes. We aim to investigate the impact of anemia on clinical outcomes in patients with AF on oral anticoagulation.

Objective: This study's objective was to assess the effectiveness of atrial fibrillation ablation (AFA) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Methods: Utilizing the TriNetX research network, we identified individuals aged 18 and older with atrial fibrillation (AF) and concurrent heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) from January 1, 2010, to June 1, 2021.
