Why the study?
Does fibrillatory wave size on electrocardiogram differentiate between rheumatic heart disease and arteriosclerotic heart disease in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Does fibrillatory wave size on electrocardiogram differentiate between rheumatic heart disease and arteriosclerotic heart disease in patients with atrial fibrillation?
This historical study aimed to determine if fibrillatory wave amplitude on ECG could differentiate between rheumatic and arteriosclerotic heart disease in patients with atrial fibrillation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Fibrillatory wave amplitude assessment in AF remains unproven for etiology differentiation; leaves open its diagnostic utility in contemporary cohorts.
Thurmann et al. (1962) studied this question.
