Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. One frequent and very effective alternative to revert AF back to a normal sinus rhythm (NSR) is external electrical cardioversion (ECV). ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is today the most common sustained arrhythmia, its treatment being not completely satisfactory. Electrical activity organization analysis within the atria could play a key role in the improvement ...
The present work introduces the first study on the P-wave morphological variability two hours preceding the onset of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The development of non-invasive methods able to track P-wave ...

[EN] Several clinical factors have been studied to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after electrical cardioversion (ECV) with limited predictive value. In this work, several time-frequency parameters from the ...
The Cox-maze surgery is an effective procedure for terminating atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients requiring open-heart surgery associated with another heart disease. After the intervention, regardless of the patient's ...

Nonlinear analysis has emerged as a novel methodology for the processing of physiological time series over the past few decades because biological systems and processes are inherently complex, nonlinear, and non-stationary. ...
