Background: Complexity and signal recurrence metrics obtained from body surface potential mapping (BSPM) allow quantifying atrial fibrillation (AF) substrate complexity. This study aims to correlate electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) detected reentrant patterns with BSPM-calculated signal complexity and recurrence metrics.
Methods: BSPM signals were recorded from 28 AF patients (17 male, 11 women, 62.

Background: Clinical practice guidelines for acute coronary syndrome recommend an interval between electrocardiogram (ECG) and balloon of <60 min in patients attending the emergency department (ED) of a hospital with primary angioplasty capacity. Compliance with this can be complex, especially in atypical presentations.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of specific training for ED triage nurses in reducing ECG-balloon time in STEMI.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) predominantly impacts the pulmonary system; however, it also has harmful consequences for the cardiovascular system through the occurrence of myocardial injury.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study analysed 119 COVID-19 patients admitted to Al-Sultan Abdullah Hospital (HASA) from March until December 2020. Demographics, medical histories, admission laboratory results, electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram (echo), were captured from the hospitals' health records.
