High-power, short-duration (HPSD) ablation for the treatment of AF is emerging as an alternative
to ablation using conventional ablation generator settings characterised by lower power …

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common cause of hospital admissions and can cause
significant patient discomfort and distress. The most common SVTs include atrioventricular …

Approximately one‐third of ischemic strokes are classified as cryptogenic strokes. The risk
of stroke recurrence in these patients is significantly elevated with up to one‐third of patients …

Background Embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS) accounts for 1 in 6 ischemic strokes.
Current guidelines do not recommend routine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging …

Background Initiation of anticoagulation therapy in ischemic stroke patients is contingent on
a clinical diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Results from previous studies suggest …

Background There are conflicting data on whether new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is
independently associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients. This study represents the …

Background Electroanatomic mapping systems are used to support electrophysiology research.
Data exported from these systems is stored in proprietary formats which are challenging …

A recent British Junior Cardiologists Association survey demonstrated gender disparity in
procedure-based subspecialties within cardiology in the UK. 1 Women form between 4.5% and …

Background: Current ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation is suboptimal, and long-term
response is challenging to predict. Clinical trials identify bedside properties that provide only …

Anisotropy is the property of directional dependence. In cardiac tissue, conduction velocity
is anisotropic and its orientation is determined by myocyte direction. Cell shape and size, …
