Comparing the Imperfect with the Imperfect: The Imprecise Science of Assessing the Risk and Benefits of Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation Running title: Tan et al.; The Imprecise Science of Assessing Anticoagulation

Comparing the imperfect with the imperfect: the imprecise science of assessing the risk and benefits of anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation.

Investigation of the relationship between pharmacological knowledge of anticoagulants with medication adherence in the elderly patients with atrial fibrillation

Introduction and Aim: In the elderly, the rate of adherence to the medication regimen and the rate of remembering how to correctly prescribe medication is low due to old age and memory loss, which leads to poor therapeutic results. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between anticoagulants knowledge and adherence to treatment in elderly cardiac patients with atrial fibrillat...

فرآیند درمانی فیبریلاسیون دهلیزی در بیمارستان های ایران

 Background: Lack of attention to standardized guidelines has caused tragic outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation and ultimately increase of financial burden imposed on the community structure of the economic system. Therefore, the present study was aimed to assess the exposure of patients with atrial fibrillation.  Methods: A total of 506 patients with atrial fibrillation were...

Imprecise Minority-Based Full Adder for ‎Approximate Computing Using CNFETs

   Nowadays, the portable multimedia electronic devices, which employ signal-processing modules, require power aware structures more than ever. For the applications associating with human senses, approximate arithmetic circuits can be considered to improve performance and power efficiency. On the other hand, scaling has led to some limitations in performance of nanoscale circuits. According...

A Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures

Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
