Bradycardia
Orthostatic hypotension does not confer CVD event risk, regardless of BP goal
Orthostatic hypotension during treatment for hypertension was not found to be associated with risk for CVD events, syncope, electrolyte abnormalities, injurious falls or acute renal failure, regardless of systolic BP treatment goal, according to research published in Hypertension.
AI-based algorithms cleared by FDA for AF, valvular disease detection
Eko announced the FDA cleared its cloud-based artificial intelligence algorithms for use with the company’s digital stethoscopes for the detection of murmurs, atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, bradycardia and measurements of QRS duration.
Physical activity reduces AF risk, especially in women
Physically active adults, particularly women, have lower risk for atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmia compared with inactive adults, according to research published in the European Heart Journal.
FDA panel does not recommend approval of vernakalant for AF
Citing safety concerns, the Cardiovascular and Renal Drug Advisory Committee of the FDA voted 2-11 against approval of vernakalant for the rapid conversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation.

Sinus Bradycardia ECG Review
Sinus bradycardia occurs on an ECG when there is a normal upright P wave in lead II ― sinus P wave ― preceding every QRS complex with a ventricular rate of less than 60 beats per minute.
