Atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disorder, and increases in prevalence with increasing age and the number of cardiovascular comorbidities. AF is characterized by a rapid and irregular heartbeat that can be asymptomatic or lead to symptoms such as palpitations, dyspnoea and dizziness.

Fibrillation of transferrin [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2012
The nature of fibrillar deposits from aqueous solutions of human serum and recombinant human transferrin on mica and carbon-coated formvar surfaces has been investigated.Atomic force microscopy showed that the deposition of recombinant transferrin onto the hydrophilic surface of mica resulted in the formation of a monolayer-thick film composed of ...

Atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Australian Journal of General Practice, 2019
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly common among Australia's ageing population and carries significant morbidity and mortality. Its detection through screening, cardiac device interrogation and/or symptoms of AF brings with it a number of significant clinical issues.The aim of this article is to outline a systematic approach to the management of ...

Prognostications of Fibrillations [PDF]

Stroke, 2015
See related article, p 1210. Post-hospital evaluation for the cause of ischemic stroke has gained increased attention in the last decade, particularly the search for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Initial studies of Holter monitoring documented rates of atrial fibrillation of ≈5% or 1 in 20 patients.1 Further, prolonged monitoring for as long as 1 ...

Blood pressure control versus atrial fibrillation management in stroke prevention [PDF]

, 2015
Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for atrial fibrillation which in turn is the most prevalent concomitant condition in hypertensive patients. While both these pathological conditions are independent risk factors for stroke, the association of

RHYTHM-AF: design of an international registry on cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and characteristics of participating centers [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is a serious public health problem posing a considerable burden to not only patients, but the healthcare environment due to high rates of morbidity, mortality, and medical resource utilization. There are limited data on the

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 ...

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).
