Focal impulse and rotor modulation of atrial rotors during atrial fibrillation leads to organization of left atrial activation as reflected by waveform morphology recurrence quantification analysis and organizational index

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020
Background Focal impulse and rotor modulation (FIRM) can cause slowing, organization, and occasionally termination of atrial fibrillation (AF), although results have been mixed.

Genetics of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Medical Clinics of North America, 2006
Recent studies of atrial fibrillation (AF) have identified mutations in a series of ion mutations; however, these channels appear to be relatively rare causes of AF. Recent genome-wide association studies for AF have identified novel variants associated with the disease, although the mechanism of action for these variants remains unknown. Ultimately, a

Blood pressure control versus atrial fibrillation management in stroke prevention [PDF]

, 2015
Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for atrial fibrillation which in turn is the most prevalent concomitant condition in hypertensive patients. While both these pathological conditions are independent risk factors for stroke, the association of

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).

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 ...

Sex-related differences in risk factors, type of treatment received and outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute stroke: Results from the RAF-study (Early Recurrence and Cerebral Bleeding in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation) [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor of thromboembolism. Women with atrial fibrillation are at a higher overall risk for stroke compared to men with atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to evaluate for sex differences

Dabigatran versus warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
BACKGROUND Warfarin reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation but increases the risk of hemorrhage and is difficult to use. Dabigatran is a new oral direct thrombin inhibitor.
