COVID-19 has manifested with ventricular dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmias, most commonly atrial fibrillation (AFib), in adults. However, very few pediatric patients with acute COVID-19 have had cardiac involvement. AFib, an exceedingly rare arrhythmia in otherwise healthy children, has not been reported in children with COVID-19. We report a 15 ...

Lors de la pandémie due au virus SARS-CoV2 les troubles du rythme n’ont pas été au premier plan. Cependant le virus semble atteindre de nombreux organes et le tropisme cardiaque est maintenant bien connu. Les connaissances dans ce domaine sont encore loin d’être exhaustives mais plusieurs séries publiées concernant les patients atteints de la COVID...
Abstract Objective: To modify the chronic atrial fibrillation of atrial tachycardia pacing in beagles with a homemade pacemaker placed outside the body and to evaluate connective tissue growth factor and fibrosis of atrial tissue in our modified atrial tachycardia pacing beagle model. Methods: Twelve adult beagles of either sex were randomly divide...
This thesis focuses on classifying AF and Normal rhythm ECG recordings. AF is a common arrhythmia occurring in millions of people every year, which could lead to blood clots, stroke or even heart failure. When AF is occurring, the P waves are often absent and RR intervals are often irregular.
This thesis proposes a new Poincaré plot based feature t...

Introduction Thyroid storm is a rare but life-threatening disease process that may be difficult to recognize and mimics other disease processes. It is critical for the emergency medicine clinician to be able to recognize thyroid storm in patients in order to effectively stabilize and treat them. Methods In this standardized patient case, learners w...

Background Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is linked to low-voltage zone (LVZ). This study explored whether serum soluble ST2 (sST2) levels can predict the size of LVZs in patients with pAF. Material/Methods A total of 177 patients with pAF treated with RFCA were consecutively enrolled i...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) often occurs in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to observe the influence of different dosages of rosuvastatin on the prognosis of AMI patients with AF. Material/Methods We performed an observational, retrospective cohort study in Jinan, China, in which 323 AMI patients were recru...
Abstract Early recognition and rapid and appropriate treatment of cardiac tamponade are mandatory to prevent the irreversible deterioration of cerebral perfusion and other important organs. In this study, cardiac tamponade was induced by inadvertent transseptal puncture, which was managed with pericardial drainage and surgical repair in a patient w...
