Effect of MRI-Guided Fibrosis Ablation vs Conventional Catheter Ablation on Atrial Arrhythmia Recurrence in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: The DECAAF II Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2022
Importance Ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a challenge. Left atrial fibrosis plays an important role in the pathophysiology of AF and has been associated with poor procedural outcomes.

Short runs of atrial arrhythmia and stroke risk: a European-wide online survey among stroke physicians and cardiologists [PDF]

, 2016
Methods: An online survey of cardiologists and stroke physicians was carried out to assess current management of patients with short runs of atrial arrhythmia within Europe. Results: Respondents included 311 clinicians from 32 countries.

ABC of Atrial Fibrillation: DRUGS FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION [PDF]

BMJ, 1995
One of the most important principles of using antiarrhythmic drugs for controlling any arrhythmia is to treat only patients who are symptomatic, have malignant arrhythmias (such as ventricular fibrillation), or are haemodynamically compromised (for example, with hypotension or heart failure).

YKL-40 is highly expressed in the epicardial adipose tissue of patients with atrial fibrillation and associated with atrial fibrosis

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018
Background YKL-40 (CHI3L1) is a novel biomarker for inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrosis, as well as cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the association between YKL-40 expression in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and atrial fibrosis in ...

Non-invasive estimation of left atrial dominant frequency in atrial fibrillation from different electrode sites: Insight from body surface potential mapping [PDF]

, 2014
© 2014, CardioFront LLC. All rights reserved. The dominant driving sources of atrial fibrillation are often found in the left atrium, but the expression of left atrial activation on the body surface is poorly understood.

ABC of Atrial Fibrillation: CARDIOVERSION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION [PDF]

BMJ, 1996
Summary Cardioversion to sinus rhythm should be considered for all suitable patients in atrial fibrillation In the short term both pharmacological and electrical cardioversion restore sinus rhythm Prophylactic treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs is advisable after cardioversion in high risk patients in view of the high relapse rate Anticoagulants ...

Atrial fibrillation

Australian Journal of General Practice, 2019
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest cardiac arrhythmia in hospitalized patients, with an increasing incidence with age and an epidemic increase projected for the next 10 years. Therapy of AF has several goals: to decrease mortality (mainly due to cardiovascular diseases), stroke rate, ventricular deterioration, and heart ...

Incidence and Predictors of Complications During Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundCryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has emerged as an alternative to radiofrequency PVI for atrial fibrillation (AF). Data are lacking to define the rates and predictors of complications, particularly phrenic nerve injury (PNI).

Covid-19 pandemic induced traumatizing medical job contents and mental health distortions of physicians working in private practices and in hospitals

Scientific Reports, 2023
The Covid-19 pandemic during its early phases posed significant psychological threats particularly for medical frontline personal. It is unclear whether the medical workforce with the passage of time has adapted to these threats or have generalized to ...

Body mass index, abdominal fatness, fat mass and the risk of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of prospective studies [PDF]

, 2017
Different adiposity measures have been associ- ated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation, however, results have previously only been summarized for BMI. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of prospective studies to clarify
