Cryoablation or Drug Therapy for Initial Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend a trial of one or more antiarrhythmic drugs before catheter ablation is considered in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, first-line ablation may be more effective in maintaining sinus rhythm. METHODS We randomly

Long‐term prognosis of pure and impure tachycardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Tachycardia‐induced cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a reversible form of heart failure (HF) driven by arrhythmias, often atrial fibrillation (AF). While reversible, TCM's long‐term prognosis remains unclear, especially in comparison to HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Relevance of residual tricuspid regurgitation for right ventricular reverse remodelling after tricuspid valve intervention in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and right‐sided heart failure

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Right ventricular reverse remodelling after transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI). Optimal tricuspid regurgitation (TR) reduction is critical for right ventricular reverse remodelling. CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance; echo, echocardiography; RV EDV, right ventricular end‐diastolic volume. Abstract Aims Right ventricular reverse remodelling (

Comorbidity trajectories before and after the diagnosis of heart failure: A UK Biobank cohort study

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Time of diagnosis of comorbidities in relation to heart failure. COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; MI, myocardial infarction. Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) is frequently associated with multiple comorbidities. We aimed to define their trajectory of accrual to identify opportunities for disease prevention. Methods and results We identified

Flutter auricular atípico tardio após ablação de fibrilhação auricular

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2016
Resumo: A existência de cardiopatia estrutural, a história de cirurgia cardíaca prévia (frequentemente envolvendo a aurícula esquerda) e a ablação percutânea da fibrilhação auricular conduziram a um aumento da incidência de taquicardias auriculares ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy for enabling guideline‐directed medical therapy optimization in heart failure

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) as an enabler for guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF). The figure summarizes the selection of the study population, changes in GDMTs and loop diuretic use/doses from baseline to 1.5‐year follow‐up in patients receiving versus not receiving CRT, and reports the

Alta dose de amiodarona em curto período reduz incidência de fibrilação atrial e flutter atrial no pós-operatório de cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica High dose of amiodarone in a short-term period reduces the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2006
OBJETIVOS: Avaliar se a administração de amiodarona, em doses altas e curso rápido, reduz a incidência de fibrilação ou flutter atrial, após cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica e se reduz, também, o tempo de internação hospitalar.

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: Treatment of atrial flutter [PDF]

Heart, 2000
After atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter is the most important and most common atrial tachyarrhythmia. Although it was first described 80 years ago, techniques for its diagnosis and management have changed little for decades. The diagnosis rested almost entirely with the 12 lead ECG, and treatment options included only the use of a digitalis compound ...
