Background Previous epidemiological studies demonstrated that premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular ...

In the last few weeks, the Skeptical Cardiologist has had a run on with patients with premature atrial contractions (PACs). I've discussed in detail premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) here and ...

Older age was also an independent risk factor for ventricular ectopic burden; lower eGFR linked to high AEB, VEB. (HealthDay News) — Age is a significant independent risk factor for atrial ectopic ...

Background: A 53-year-old female presented with a 10-year history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), precipitated by activity and refractory to medical therapy. In the absence of traditional risk ...

Recent studies have determined that blacks have a lower risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) compared with whites despite having a higher prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension and heart failure.

MANY common arrhythmias observed in both atria and ventricles are similar although the atrial types have a few important distinguishing features. Thus, so far as therapy is concerned, the atrial ...

New research finds that low fitness levels and older age are strong and independent risk factors for heartbeat irregularities, or arrhythmias*, in healthy adults. These arrhythmias were previously ...

New research has revealed that older age and low aerobic fitness levels are strong and independent risk factors for a high burden of heartbeat irregularities, known as arrhythmias, that indicate ...
