Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in patients with persistent chest symptoms after acute pulmonary embolism

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the role of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in patients with persistent chest symptoms after acute PE

Assessment of atrial electromechanical delay and P wave dispersion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and reduced forced expiratory volume (FEV1) is an independent predictor for new onset AF. The aims of this study were (1) to analyze the atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) and P wave dispersion which are two predictors of AF development in patients with COPD and without any cardiovascular disease, and (2) to assess the relationship of those with pulmonary functions as quantified by FEV1 measurements
