Experts discuss the growing role of early detection and predictive strategies in managing arrhythmias—particularly atrial fibrillation—highlighting the impact of wearable technology, challenges in ...

Heart rhythm disorders, also called cardiac arrhythmias, are estimated to occur in 2% of the general population, making them one of the most prevalent heart disorders. They are associated with ...

A reentry arrhythmia is an abnormality in your heart’s rhythm in which electrical impulses in your heart stray from their usual path and form a closed-loop circuit. Treatment can usually resolve these ...

The human heart beats roughly 3 billion times during the course of an average lifetime. Every single time it beats, blood is drawn into its two upper chambers, held there briefly by a network of ...

Atrial fibrillation, a type of heart arrhythmia, is a leading cause of stroke. Additionally, strokes may be associated with arrhythmia onset. However, such arrhythmias tend to resolve within a few ...

Electrocardiographic changes, arrhythmias, and increased cardiac enzymes have been reported in patients with TBI, but no data are published on 24-hr Holter monitoring in severe pediatric head trauma ...

Experts highlight that applying value-based payment models to atrial fibrillation care requires flexible, team-based approaches focused on reducing hospitalizations, repeat procedures, and stroke, ...

Heart attacks scar the heart, leaving patients vulnerable to heart rhythm disorders that can lead to sudden death. While not all who have experienced a cardiac infarction will develop an arrhythmia, ...

Hypokalemia and even low-normal plasma potassium levels increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias among patients with cardiovascular disease. An assessment of a strategy of actively increasing ...

Breathing particulate matter (i.e., tiny particles suspended in the air) air pollution may trigger irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) in healthy teenagers, according to new research published today ...
