Abstract

Atrial electrocardiotopography is shown to be a fairly informative non-invasive method for both the detection of heart failure and the assessment of its severity. Its findings were verified by conventional invasive and non-invasive procedures. Moderate left-ventricular heart failure was only associated with increased total left-atrial electrical activity, while marked heart failure also involved an expanded negative P wave projection zone and a greater total magnitude of right-atrial potentials.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
