Aims: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the primary method for diagnosing atrial fibrillation (AF), but interpreting ECGs can be time-consuming and labour-intensive, which deserves more exploration.
Methods And Results: We collected ECG data from 6590 patients as YY2023, classified as Normal, AF, and Other. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), and Attention construct the AF recognition model CNN BiLSTM Attention-Atrial Fibrillation (CLA-AF).

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) leads to impaired exercise capacity, and catheter ablation (CA) for AF improves exercise capacity. However, the precise changes in daily activities after CA for AF remain unclear. The authors aimed to evaluate the changes in daily activities following CA for AF using a wristwatch-type pulse wave monitor (PWM), which tracks steps and exercise time, estimates burnt daily calories, and records sleep duration, in addition to establishing the rhythm diagnosis of AF or non-AF.

Introduction: Although left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is associated with improved survival in patients with end-stage heart failure, the impact of preoperative pulmonary function on short-term outcomes is unclear.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all primary LVAD implants at a single institution. Common measures of preoperative pulmonary function were evaluated.

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is the third most common cause of acute cardiovascular disease, which can lead to high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Anatomical and electrophysiological variations and obesity may complicate timely diagnosis and delay required management. While computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) remains the most accurate diagnostic tool, initial assessments using electrocardiography (ECG) or echocardiography can be helpful in early suspicion.
