Letter by Haft regarding article, "Temporal relationship between subclinical atrial fibrillation and embolic events".
BACKGROUND Among patients with implantable pacemakers and defibrillators, subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke; however, there is limited understanding of their temporal relationship. METHODS AND RESULTS The Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Evaluation in Pacemaker Patients and the Atrial Fibrillation Reduction Atrial Pacing Trial (AS...

متن کاملLetter by Haft regarding article, "High prevalence of atrial fibrillation among patients with ischemic stroke".
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cause of devastating but potentially preventable stroke. Estimates of the prevalence of AF among patients with stroke vary considerably because of difficulties in detection of intermittent, silent AF. Better recognition of AF in this patient group may help to identify and offer protection to individuals at risk. Our aim was to determin...
متن کاملLetter by Werring et al Regarding Article, "Embolic Stroke, Atrial Fibrillation, and Microbleeds: Is There a Role for Anticoagulation?".
Letter by Werring et al Regarding Article, “Embolic Stroke, Atrial Fibrillation, and Microbleeds: Is There a Role for Anticoagulation?” To the Editor: We read with interest the recent controversies in stroke article “Embolic Stroke, Atrial Fibrillation, and Microbleeds: Is There a Role for Anticoagulation.” We congratulate the authors for highlighting the increasingly common and difficult clini...
متن کاملLetter by Berenfeld and Jalife regarding article "dominant frequency of atrial fibrillation correlates poorly with atrial fibrillation cycle length".
BACKGROUND Localized sites of high frequency during atrial fibrillation (AF) are used as target sites to eliminate AF. Spectral analysis is used experimentally to determine these sites. The purpose of this study was to compare dominant frequencies (DF) with AF cycle length (AFCL) of unipolar and bipolar recordings. METHODS AND RESULTS Left and right atrial endocardial electrograms were record...
