BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that analysis of serial ECGs could predict new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) more accurately than analysis of a single ECG by detecting the subtle cardiac remodeling that occurs immediately before AF occurrence. Our aim i...

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the standard method for diagnosing left atrial appendage (LAA) hypercoagulability in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), which means LAA thrombus/sludge, dense spontaneous echo contrast and slow LAA blood...
The prevalence and predictors of mortality following an ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage have not been well established among patients in Vietnam. 2885 consecutive diagnosed patients with ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage at ten...

PURPOSE: Catheter-based radiofrequency ablation for pulmonary vein isolation has become the first line of treatment for atrial fibrillation in recent years. This requires a rather accurate map of the left atrial sub-endocardial surface including the ...
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical value of 3D Echocardiography (3DE) in evaluating the changes of left atrial volume and pulmonary vein structure in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF).
Deep learning has shown great promise in predicting Atrial Fibrillation using ECG signals and other vital signs. However, a major hurdle lies in the privacy concerns surrounding these datasets, which often contain sensitive patient information. Balan...
