The last decade has witnessed remarkable advances in pharmacological and
nonpharmacological strategies for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation …

Left atrial cardiomyopathy (LACM) has been an ongoing focus of research for several years.
There is evidence that LACM is responsible for atrial fibrillation and embolic strokes of …

Aims The concept of “atrial cardiomyopathy”(AtCM) had been percolating through the
literature since its first mention in 1972. Since then, publications using the term were …

Since stroke disease often causes death or serious disability, active primary prevention and
early detection of prognostic symptoms are very important. Stroke diseases can be divided …

Background and Purpose—Emerging evidence suggests that an underlying atrial
cardiopathy may result in thromboembolism before atrial fibrillation (AF) develops. We …

Atrial cardiomyopathy refers to structural and electrical remodelling of the atria, which can
lead to impaired mechanical function. While historical studies have implicated atrial …

Background Several studies have explored the association between P wave terminal force
in lead V1 (PTFV1) and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) occurrence, but the results were …

Background: In people with atrial fibrillation (AF), periods of sinus rhythm present an
opportunity to detect prothrombotic atrial remodeling through measurement of P-wave …

Background and objectives Inter-atrial block (IAB) is characterized by a delay of inter-atrial
conduction and is defined electrocardiographically by a P-wave duration (PWD)> 120 ms …

Aims Advanced interatrial block (IAB) is characterized by a prolonged (≥ 120 ms) and
bimodal P wave in the inferior leads. The association between advanced IAB and atrial …
