Consumer-grade wearable devices in arrhythmia diagnostics for clinicians: where we are and where we are going.

Atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF), are a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Early detection and effective management are critical to mitigating adverse outcomes such as stroke, heart failure, and overall mortality. Wearable devices have emerged as promising tools for monitoring, detecting, and managing atrial arrhythmias near-continuously.

Theoretical and Practical Aspects of the Nonlinear Dynamics' Methods of Heart Rate Variability Analyses in Tachyarrhythmia Patients Underwent Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation.

Purpose: This study explores the use of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, a noninvasive technique for assessing the autonomic nervous system, by applying nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory to detect chaotic behavior in RR intervals and assess cardiovascular health.

Methods: Employing the "System Analysis of Heart Rate Dynamics" (SADR) program, this research combines chaos analysis with the short-time Fourier transform to assess nonlinear dynamic parameters in HRV. It includes constructing phase portraits in Takens space and calculating measures of chaos to identify deterministic chaos indicators.

Coordinated transcriptional control of the adult ventricular conduction system.

The cardiac conduction system (CCS) orchestrates the electrical impulses that enable coordinated contraction of the cardiac chambers. The T-box transcription factors and are required for cardiac conduction system development and associated with overlapping and distinct human cardiac conduction system diseases. We evaluated the coordinated role of and in the murine ventricular conduction system (VCS).

Comprehensive Analysis of Anticoagulant Therapy in Patients with Isolated Atrial Flutter.

Limited comparative data exist regarding the risk of cardiogenic emboli in patients with isolated atrial flutter (AFL). Some studies suggest a lower complication risk in AFL compared to atrial fibrillation (AFib), but methodological limitations and conflicting reports necessitate a comprehensive investigation. Our analysis proposes that isolated AFL carries a lower risk of ischemic events and left atrial thrombus formation than AFib.
