The role of edoxaban in preventing thromboembolic complications in patients with atrial fibrillation

Атеротромбоз, 2020
Edoxaban is a selective direct factor Xa inhibitor. Edoxaban in a dose of 60 mg per day is an effective and safe option in the prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, including in combination therapy ...

Diagnosis and Management of Left Atrium Appendage Thrombosis in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Cardioversion

Medicina, 2019
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with an increased risk of stroke and thromboembolic complications. A rhythm control strategy with both electrical and pharmacological cardioversion is recommended for patients ...

Intermediate-Term Risk of Stroke Following Cardiac Procedures in a Nationally Representative Data Set. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Studies on stroke risk following cardiac procedures addressed only perioperative and long-term risk following limited higher-risk procedures, were poorly generalizable, and often failed to stratify by stroke type. We calculated stroke risk in

Computational modelling of the pro‐ and antiarrhythmic effects of atrial high rate‐dependent trafficking of small‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium channels

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Small‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium (SK) channels are important for atrial repolarization and can be targeted for atrial‐specific antiarrhythmic treatments. We developed a computational model with a calcium sensor to study the effects of increased pacing rate (5 Hz), which enhances SK‐channel gating and forward ...

Diurnal QT analysis in patients with sotalol after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2021
Background The risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients on QT prolonging drugs is indicated to be increased early after cardioversion (CV) of atrial fibrillation (AF) to sinus rhythm (SR).

Pattern of initiation of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in recorded intracardiac electrograms [PDF]

, 2005
Background: By analyzing stored intracardiac electrograms during spontaneous monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), we examined the patterns of the VT initiation in a group of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

Computational model of haemodynamics during atrial fibrillation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We developed a simplified computational model that replicates patient‐specific haemodynamics during both normal sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation (AF). Our computational model comprises: (1) an electrical subsystem that generates unco‐ordinated atrial and irregular ventricular activation times characteristic of AF and (2) a ...

Atrial fibrillation impairs the diagnostic performance of cardiac natriuretic peptides in dyspneic patients. results from the BACH Study (Biomarkers in ACute Heart Failure) [PDF]

, 2013
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the performance of mid-region amino terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) in comparison with the B-type peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) for diagnosis

Small‐conductance Ca2⁺‐activated K⁺ channels in cardiac excitation–contraction coupling: Bridging mitochondria, sarcolemma and antiarrhythmic therapy

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondrial SK channel enhancement reduces cardiac arrhythmia trigger. Spontaneous sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release via hyperactive RyR2s underlies an increased arrhythmia trigger, promoting early and delayed afterdepolarizations during stress. Hyperactive RyR2s causes rise in cytosolic [Ca2+] during diastole. Clearance
