(wikipedia.org)
In epidemiological studies and surveys all over the world 6,7 ,it appears to be associated with a lower frequency of transition of the arrhythmia to permanent AF 8 . (hippokratia.gr)
There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of arrhythmia (P = 0.164). (bvsalud.org)
CONCLUSION: The higher frequency of arrhythmia in adult studies compared to the pediatric age group once again demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of ASD in childhood. (bvsalud.org)
Electrical2
Early pharmaceutical or electrical cardioversion is necessary to improve symptoms, prevent the side effects of the prolonged crisis of arrhythmia and avoid hospitalization, which among others, provokes increased economic expenses 4,5 . (hippokratia.gr)
It is like the electrocardiogram but uses specialized computer processing to magnify the heart muscle's signal (QRS) and search for abnormal electrical activities called late-potentials. (bcm.edu)
Diagnose1
By incorporating an integrated health care approach involving patient empowerment, centralized clinician-coordinated ECG monitoring, and facilitation of primary care and specialist services, it is possible to diagnose and treat AF early to reduce stroke risk. (researchprotocols.org)
