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 ...

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 ...

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).

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
