1. 1. Quality Control in ECG-based Atrial Fibrillation Screening

   Författare :Hesam Halvaei; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ECG; Signal Quality; Atrial fibrillation screening;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises an introductory chapter and four papers related to quality control in ECG-based atrial fibrillation (AF) screening. Atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia characterized by an irregular rhythm and constitutes a major risk factor for stroke. LÄS MER

3. 2. Catch Atrial Fibrillation, Prevent Stroke : Detection of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias with short intermittent ECG

   Författare :Tijn Hendrikx; Herbert Sandström; Mårten Rosenqvist; Per Wester; Peter Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; screening; primary prevention; secondary prevention; handheld ECG; Cardiology; kardiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the adult population, affecting about 5% of the population over 65 years. Occurrence of AF is an independent risk factor for stroke, and together with other cardiovascular risk factors (CHADS2/CHA2DS2- VASc), the stroke risk increases. LÄS MER

4. 3. Detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation : with special emphasis on intermittent ECG recording

   Författare :Peter Doliwa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained form of arrhythmia, affecting approximately 3 % of the adult population. AF may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Asymptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) can be troublesome to diagnose, as most devices for arrhythmia detection provide only limited insight into heart rhythm. LÄS MER

5. 4. Clinical aspects of device-detected arrhythmias

   Författare :Emma Sandgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) enable continuous monitoring of the heart rhythm. CIEDs constitute a unique opportunity for detecting arrhythmias, as the duration of cardiac monitoring is of the utmost importance for the detection rate. LÄS MER

7. 5. Heart rate variability and pacemaker treatment in children with Fontan circulation

   Författare :Jenny Alenius Dahlqvist; Annika Rydberg; Urban Wiklund; Jaana Pihkala; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Congenital heart disease; Fontan circulation; heart rate variability; pacemaker; sinus node dysfunction; pediatrik; Pediatrics; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Fontan surgery is performed in children with univentricular heart defects. Arrhythmias are frequent complications, occasionally requiring pacemaker treatment. Previous data regarding indications and risk factors for pacemaker treatment in Fontan patients is limited and conflicting. LÄS MER
