Atrial Fibrillation In Patients With Stroke Attributed to Large- or Small-Vessel Disease Open
Importance The STROKE AF study found that in patients with prior ischemic stroke attributed to large-artery atherosclerotic disease (LAD) or small-vessel occlusive disease (SVD), 12% developed AF over 1 year when monitored with an insertab…
Diagnosing Cardiac Sarcoidosis Clinically Without Tissue Confirmation Open
A 52-year-old woman is described in whom cardiac sarcoidosis was diagnosed clinically on the basis of high-grade heart block, recurring ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and acute cardiac decompensation. Confirmation of sarcoidosis was not det…
Heart Transplantation for Undiagnosed Cardiac Sarcoidosis Open
Heart transplantation (HT) for cardiac sarcoidosis is rare. Only 6 patients having HT for cardiac sarcoidosis have been previously reported1–4 (Table 1). In 2 of them, the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis was not known at the time of HT. I…

Predictors of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Stroke Attributed to Large- or Small-Vessel Disease Open
Importance The Stroke of Known Cause and Underlying Atrial Fibrillation (STROKE AF) trial found that approximately 1 in 8 patients with recent ischemic stroke attributed to large- or small-vessel disease had poststroke atrial fibrillation …

Stochastic Termination of Spiral Wave Dynamics in Cardiac Tissue Open
Rotating spiral waves are self-organized features in spatially extended excitable media and may play an important role in cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation (AF). In homogeneous media, spiral wave dynamics are perpetuated th…

Effect of Long-term Continuous Cardiac Monitoring vs Usual Care on Detection of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Stroke Attributed to Large- or Small-Vessel Disease Open
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02700945.
Repeat Ablation and Hospitalization Following Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation at a Single Tertiary Medical Center Open
Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) has rapidly become a mainstream treatment for AF. In this report, 163 patients who had undergone a cryoablation procedure at one clinical center were contacted by telephone 33.1 ± 3.3 months after …
