Atrial Fibrillation and Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Appraisal of Pathophysiologic Mechanisms [PDF]

, 2016
A growing body of evidence suggests that atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with myocardial infarction (MI). However, incidence and management of MI in AF is still undefined. METHODS AND RESULTS: We searched MEDLINE via PubMed and Cochrane database

ABC of Atrial Fibrillation: DRUGS FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION [PDF]

BMJ, 1995
One of the most important principles of using antiarrhythmic drugs for controlling any arrhythmia is to treat only patients who are symptomatic, have malignant arrhythmias (such as ventricular fibrillation), or are haemodynamically compromised (for example, with hypotension or heart failure).

Covid-19 pandemic induced traumatizing medical job contents and mental health distortions of physicians working in private practices and in hospitals

Scientific Reports, 2023
The Covid-19 pandemic during its early phases posed significant psychological threats particularly for medical frontline personal. It is unclear whether the medical workforce with the passage of time has adapted to these threats or have generalized to ...

Quiescent Elongation of α-Synuclein Pre-form Fibrils Under Different Solution Conditions

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The intracellular aggregation of α-synuclein in neurons/glia is considered to be a key step in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathy [including Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy body (DLB), multiple system atrophy (MSA), etc.].

Short runs of atrial arrhythmia and stroke risk: a European-wide online survey among stroke physicians and cardiologists [PDF]

, 2016
Methods: An online survey of cardiologists and stroke physicians was carried out to assess current management of patients with short runs of atrial arrhythmia within Europe. Results: Respondents included 311 clinicians from 32 countries.

Genetics of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Medical Clinics of North America, 2006
Recent studies of atrial fibrillation (AF) have identified mutations in a series of ion mutations; however, these channels appear to be relatively rare causes of AF. Recent genome-wide association studies for AF have identified novel variants associated with the disease, although the mechanism of action for these variants remains unknown. Ultimately, a

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.

Long-term results of ablation index guided atrial fibrillation ablation: insights after 5+ years of follow-up from the MPH AF Ablation Registry

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundCatheter ablation (CA) for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) offers the best outcomes for patients. Despite the benefits of CA, a significant proportion of patients suffer a recurrence; hence, there is scope to potentially improve outcomes ...

Unraveling capillary interaction and viscoelastic response in atomic force microscopy of hydrated collagen fibrils [PDF]

Nanoscale 9 (2017) 1244-1256, 2019
The mechanical properties of collagen fibrils depend on the amount and the distribution of water molecules within the fibrils. Here, we use atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study the effect of hydration on the viscoelastic properties of reconstituted type I collagen fibrils in air with controlled relative humidity. With the same AFM tip, we investigate

ABC of Atrial Fibrillation: CARDIOVERSION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION [PDF]

BMJ, 1996
Summary Cardioversion to sinus rhythm should be considered for all suitable patients in atrial fibrillation In the short term both pharmacological and electrical cardioversion restore sinus rhythm Prophylactic treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs is advisable after cardioversion in high risk patients in view of the high relapse rate Anticoagulants ...
