Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide. In 2010, the prevalence of AF in the US was estimated at 5.9 million.1 The decision to pursue treatment to maintain sinus rhythm is driven by disabling symptoms related to AF; including palpitations, dyspnoea, fatigue, stroke and congestive heart failure. Percutaneous catheter-based ablation is an established therapy for…

The reported incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) depends on the number of trivial lesions included, such as atrial and ventricular septal defects (ASDs and VSDs). Moderate-to-severe CHD numbers remain stable with 6 per 1,000 live births.1 Survival into adulthood has improved dramatically over the last 25 years and has been driven mainly by a decreased mortality in moderate and severe…

Atrial Fibrillation, Cardioversion and Stroke Risk
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common serious chronic heart rhythm disorder with an estimated prevalence in the general population of around 1%.1 The arrhythmia affects about 2.2 million persons in the US and 4.5 million individuals in the EU. Due to the advancing age of the population, the prevalence of AF is likely to increase even…

AF is the most common clinical arrhythmia, affecting at least 1–2% of the population.1,2 Its prevalence increases with age, with 5% of people aged over 65 years developing AF, climbing to 8% in those aged over 75 years.3 AF is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and has significant public health implications.4 Patients presenting with new onset AF to emergency departments can be…

The term narrow QRS tachycardia indicates individuals with a QRS duration ≤120 ms, while wide QRS tachycardia refers to tachycardia with a QRS duration >120 ms.1 Narrow QRS complexes are due to rapid activation of the ventricles via the His–Purkinje system, suggesting that the origin of the arrhythmia is above or within the His bundle. However, early activation of the His bundle can also occur…
