Article Info The incidence of atrial fibrillation, a common and treatable risk factor for ischaemic stroke, is predicted to increase in the coming decades, elevating the status of this arrhythmia to that of a public health priority. The growing importance of this condition is reflected by the publication in July, 2015, of two documents: the research report for the Future of Anticoagulation Init...
متن کاملSYSTOLIC TIME INTERVALS IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION 629 Systolic Time Intervals in Atrial Fibrillation
Forty patients with atrial fibrillation and 20 patients with congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm were studied. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 20 patients with atrial fibrillation in whom systolic time intervals were measured. Twenty to 50 beats were analyzed. Five of the patients had high-fidelity measurements of left ventricular pressure simultaneous with det...
متن کاملPrecision Cohort Finding with Outcome-Driven Similarity Analytics: A Case Study of Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Dividing patients into similar groups plays a significant role in implementing personalized care. Clinicians and researchers have been applying patient grouping techniques in disease phenotyping, risk stratification, and personalized medicine. However, the current approaches are either based on pure domain knowledge where the underlying patient similarity cannot be precisely quantified, or base...
متن کاملPredictors of finding occult atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Occult paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is found in a substantial minority of patients with cryptogenic stroke. Identifying reliable predictors of paroxysmal AF after cryptogenic stroke would allow clinicians to more effectively use outpatient cardiac monitoring and ultimately reduce secondary stroke burden. METHODS We analyzed a retrospective cohort of consecutive p...
متن کاملEndobronchial Lipomatous Hamartoma: An Incidental Finding in a Patient with Atrial Fibrillation—A Case Report
