The Value of Voltage Histogram Analysis Derived Right Atrial Scar Burden in the Prediction of Left Atrial Scar Burden

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2020
Introduction. Growing evidence suggests that fibrotic changes can be observed in atrial fibrillation (AF) in both atria. Quantification of the scar burden during electroanatomical mapping might have important therapeutic and prognostic consequences ...

Prognostic Potential of Heart Rate and Hypertension in Multiple Myeloma Patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: The prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is variable and partly depends on their cardiovascular status. The presence of arrhythmias can lead to worse outcomes.

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.

Novel concepts in atrial fibrillation ablation—breaking the trade‐off between efficacy and safety

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2021
Despite substantial technological and procedural advances that have improved the efficacy and safety of AF ablation in recent years, the long‐term durability of ablation lesions is still not satisfactory.

Atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Nursing Standard, 2014
Essential facts Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes an abnormal, sometimes fast pulse, and is the most common heart rhythm disturbance. It occurs when electrical impulses controlling the heart's natural rhythm lose co-ordination. People with AF have a four or five times higher risk of stroke because it increases the risk of a blood clot forming in the ...

Glycemic control is associated with atrial structural remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been demonstrated to be a strong risk factor for development and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, how DM and glycemic control affect the pathogenesis of AF has not been sufficiently investigated ...

Comparison of the Relationship Between Inflammatory Markers and Atrial Fibrillation Burden

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Atrial fibrillation is a complex disease with irregular ventricular response and tachycardia as a result of irregular and rapid contraction of the atria, with poor cardiovascular outcomes unless treated. Various mechanisms are involved in its
