Picking the Locked Door

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
The management of atrial septal defects (ASDs) has been revolutionized by the advent of percutaneous transvenous occlusion devices. This case series describes techniques required to perform a transeptal puncture safely and effectively in patients ...

Atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for stroke: the Framingham Study.

Stroke, 1991
The impact of nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cardiac failure on stroke incidence was examined in 5,070 participants in the Framingham Study after 34 years of follow-up.

Cryoballoon Ablation as Initial Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND In patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation that has not responded to medication, catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drug therapy for maintaining sinus rhythm.

Managing Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2021
Atrial fibrillation and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction are increasing in prevalence worldwide. Atrial fibrillation can precipitate and can be a consequence of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and cardiomyopathy.

Ectopy on a single 12‐lead ECG, incident cardiac myopathy, and death in the community [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation and heart failure are 2 of the most common diseases, yet ready means to identify individuals at risk are lacking. The 12-lead ECG is one of the most accessible tests in medicine.

Effects of Oral Inflammatory Diseases and Oral Hygiene on Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2023
Objective. Research evidence suggests a link between periodontitis (PD) and atrial fibrillation, but the nature of this link is unclear. This study aimed to systematically review and evaluate the association between PD, other oral diseases, and atrial ...

Right versus left atrial pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Riverleft study) [PDF]

, 2014
_Background:_ The incidence of sick sinus syndrome will increase due to population ageing. Consequently, this will result in an increase in the number of pacemaker implantations.

A Case of Atrial Fibrillation from Cyclosporine Toxicity [PDF]

, 2004
We describe the unusual occurrence of atrial fibrillation immediately after a seizure in a young patient with cyclosporine toxicity. The new onset atrial fibrillation was triggered by high levels of cyclosporine and possibly facilitated by the ...
