Abstract: Although paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is an important cause of cardioembolic stroke, in contrast to chronic AF patients, the anatomical features of the left atrial appendage (LAA) in PAF patients remain unknown. Here, we investigated… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Pulmonary delivery of antiarrhythmic agents has the potential to increase rapidly targeted drug concentrations in pulmonary veins and left atrium to terminate atrial fibrillation (AF). OBJECTIVE We evaluated the efficacy of flecainide administered via… read more here.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE Wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) can enable free-living physiological monitoring of people during diverse activities, ranging from sleep to physical exercise. In many applications, it is important to remove the pulses not related to sinus rhythm… read more here.
