Prediction of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation From Complexity Analysis of the Sinus Rhythm ECG: A Retrospective Case/Control Pilot Study Open
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, conveying a stroke risk comparable to persistent AF. It poses a significant diagnostic challenge given its intermittency and potential brevity, and absence of symp…

MicroRNA 8059 as a marker for the presence and extent of coronary artery calcification Open
Objective MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may serve as potential biomarkers in a variety of pathologies. The aim of this study was to determine whether miRNAs could serve as blood-based markers of isolated coronary artery calcification (CAC) defined as…

The Left Atrial Appendage in Health and Disease Open
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest sustained cardiac arrhythmiaand results in significant morbidity and mortality. The left atrial appendage (LAA), a small embryonic remnant of the left atrium (LA), has been shown to play a key role…

POSTER SESSION 6 Open
Background: Up to 30% of ischemic strokes are of undetermined etiology or cryptogenic.Subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) could be the underlying cause in some cases.Current guidelines are not specific about the best strategy for AF detec…

Diagnosing Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Are Biomarkers the Solution to This Elusive Arrhythmia? Open
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest sustained arrhythmia globally and results in significantly increased morbidity and mortality including a fivefold risk of stroke. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) constitutes approximately half…
