Characteristics of the heart rhythm in children with gastroesophageal reflux disease

Zdorovʹe Rebenka, 2019
Background. Incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) increases in patients from different age groups throughout the world. Studying the extraesophageal manifestations, including cardiologic symptoms of GERD, in children is relevant.

Spontaneous Normal Sinus Rhythm Conversion Using Integrative Medicine in Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Global Advances in Health and Medicine, 2012
The relationship between acute life stress and the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been noted in the literature. However, the use of integrative medicine (IM) in restoring cardiac rhythm has not been adequately studied. This case report describes how an IM approach was used in a patient with atrial fibrillation and acute pain.

Impact of Renal Impairment on Beta-Blocker Efficacy in Patients With Heart Failure. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Moderate and moderately severe renal impairment are common in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, but whether beta-blockers are effective is unclear, leading to underuse of life-saving therapy.

Atrial Imaging and Cardiac Rhythm in Cryptogenic Embolic Stroke: The ARIES Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Unknown cardioembolic sources are frequent causes of cryptogenic stroke. We analyzed the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) or high burden of ectopic atrial activity (HBEA) in patients with cryptogenic stroke, assessing atrial function and 1 ...

Myocardial Architecture and Patient Variability in Clinical Patterns of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

, 2016
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke by a factor of four to five and is the most common abnormal heart rhythm. The progression of AF with age, from short self-terminating episodes to persistence, varies between individuals and is poorly ...
