Background: Only a few algorithms for predicting the site of origin of focal atrial tachycardia (AT) have been reported. We aimed to develop a new and more effective algorithm. Methods: Surface ...

Artur Dubrawski is not a critical care physician, but his best friend is. Dubrawski, a research professor in Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, loves talking about disease symptoms with ...

Most wide QRS complex tachycardias (WCTs) are ventricular or supraventricular in origin, but to differentiate between the two can present a diagnostic challenge. To develop and test an algorithm that ...

For people who suffer from a rapid heartbeat condition called tachycardia, an implanted device can usually nudge the racing blood pump back into a normal rhythm by applying electrical pulses to the ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

Tang et al. developed an algorithm to distinguish left and right atrial foci, and pioneered the prediction of focal ATs using surface P waves. [10] They reported that a positive P wave in lead V1 was ...
