Spontaneous degeneration of rapid atrial fibrillation (AF) to ventricular fibrillation has been documented in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. However, the importance of rap

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by rapid and irregular contraction of the left atrium (LA). Impacting LA haemodynamics, this increases the risk of thrombi development and stroke. Flow conditions preceding stroke in these patients are not well defined, partly due the limited resolution of 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Background: Detecting subtle patterns of atrial fibrillation (AF) and irregularities in Holter recordings is intricate and unscalable if done manually. Artificial intelligence-based techniques can be beneficial. In fact, with the rapid advancement of AI, deep learning (DL) demonstrated the capability to identify AF from ECGs with significant performance.

Background: Given the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, encountering difficult airways in this patient population is quite common. The challenge for anesthesiologists lies not only in establishing the airway but also in managing the hemodynamic instability caused by sympathetic activation during intubation. The purpose of this report is to describe the anesthetic experience of this patient with severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, and moderate pulmonary hypertension with an anticipated difficult airway.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, with ventricular rate control being a critical therapeutic target. However, the optimal range for ventricular rate control remains unclear. Additionally, the relationship between different levels of ventricular rate control and cardiac remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation remains unclear.

Background: Patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) who undergo atrial switch procedures may develop symptomatic atrial arrhythmias necessitating ablation. We present a single-centre retrospective analysis of a novel approach using jugular access for catheter ablation in this unique patient population.
Methods: A 5-year retrospective analysis was conducted on patients referred for atrial arrhythmia ablation following atrial switch procedures.
