AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice and is increasing worldwide.1,2 AF has been associated with an increased risk of mortality, although data suggest that longevity is increasing after diagnosis. This is attributed to medical therapies to reduce stroke and heart failure, and the management of other comorbidites.3,4 As a consequence, patients are living longer with AF… View more

HRS 2020: Incidence of Silent Brain Infarcts in Anticoagulated Patients with AF
Author(s): David Conen Added: 3 years ago
Patients with AF have an increased risk of dementia and clinical stroke. Dr David Conen (Mcmaster University, Hamilton, ON, CA) discusses the results of this large cohort study aimed at investigating if dementia can be mitigated using novel oral anticoagulation (OAC). He also sheds light on what further studies are needed in follow-up to these results. Questions: 1. Why did you conduct this… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Alexander Steger , Daniel Sinnecker , Petra Barthel , et al Added: 3 years ago
In 1885, Oscar Langendorff was the first person to describe the increase in contractility (‘Pulsverstärkung‘) that follows an extrasystole.1Langendorff experimented with spontaneously beating isolated frog hearts. He recorded the heartbeats by using a lever that transferred the contractile movements of the heart to a rotating drum. Electrical stimulation resulted in premature contractions that… View more
