Extinction Dynamics of Cardiac Fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
During episodes of atrial fibrillation, the heart's electrical activity becomes disorganized and shows fragmenting spiral waves. To systematically address how this pattern terminates using spatially extended simulations exceeds current computational ...

Atrial Fibrillation Degenerates Into Ventricular Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010
![Figure][1] A 43-year-old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placed for documented ventricular fibrillation (VF), presented with an ICD shock. Ventricular pre-excitation was not present.

The effects of 4,6-Dichloro-2-Sodiooxy-1,3,5-Triazine on the Fibrillation Propensity of Lyocell Fibers

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2023
Dichlorotriazine reactive crosslinker has been used to reduce the fibrillation of Lyocell. The fibrillation propensity and mechanism of 4, 6-dichloro-2-sodium dioxy-1, 3, 5-triazine treatment on Lyocell fibers were studied, and the mechanical properties ...

Advanced-Glycation Endproducts: How cross-linking properties affect the collagen fibril behavior [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Advanced-Glycation-Endproducts (AGEs) are known to be a major cause of impaired tissue material properties. In collagen fibrils, the main building component of human tissue, these AGEs appear as fibrillar cross-links. When AGEs accumulate in collagen fibrils, a process often caused by diabetes and aging, the mechanical properties of the collagen fibril

Autoimmune Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesCirculation, 2023
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is by far the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In about 3% of individuals, AF develops as a primary disorder without any identifiable trigger (idiopathic or historically termed lone AF). In line with the emerging field of autoantibody-related cardiac arrhythmias, the objective of this study ...

Correlation of Atrial Fibrillation with Left Atrial Volume in Patients with Mitral Stenosis. a Single Centre Study From Pakistan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Rheumatic heart disease has a strong association with mitral valve stenosis. Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common complications of this condition and is a poor prognostic factor.

Effect of statins on atrial fibrillation: collaborative meta-analysis of published and unpublished evidence from randomised controlled trials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Objective To examine whether statins can reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation. Design Meta-analysis of published and unpublished results from larger scale statin trials, with comparison of the findings against the published results from smaller ...

Atrial fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Biomedical Research, 2014
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia affecting patients today. Disease prevalence is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide, and is associated with often catastrophic and costly consequences, including heart failure, syncope, dementia, and stroke.

Worldwide Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation: A Global Burden of Disease 2010 Study

open access: yesCirculation, 2014
Background— The global burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. Methods and Results— We systematically reviewed population-based studies of AF published from 1980 to 2010 from the 21 Global Burden of Disease regions to estimate global/regional ...

Isotropic-nematic phase transition in amyloid fibrilization [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E 80, 031902 (2009), 2009
We carry out a theoretical study on the isotropic-nematic phase transition and phase separation in amyloid fibril solutions. Borrowing the thermodynamic model employed in the study of cylindrical micelles, we investigate the variations in the fibril length distribution and phase behavior with respect to changes in the protein concentration, fibril's ...
