A Large Atrial Myxoma in a Patient Presenting with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report

Journal of Medical Sciences and Health, 2015
We present here an unusual cause of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a 40-year-old Caucasian woman diagnosed years later with echocardiography of a large left atrial mxyoma together with an image of the excised tumor and its histology. This case informs

Comparison of the Relationship Between Inflammatory Markers and Atrial Fibrillation Burden

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Atrial fibrillation is a complex disease with irregular ventricular response and tachycardia as a result of irregular and rapid contraction of the atria, with poor cardiovascular outcomes unless treated. Various mechanisms are involved in its

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PDF]

QJM, 2001
There has been a tendency to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in a similar way to sustained AF, but treatment objectives may be very different. We discuss current definitions, epidemiology, pathophysiology and natural history of PAF, and review evidence for its treatment and management.

Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Sleep [PDF]

Sleep, 1997
Thirty-eight patients with lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) were monitored during spontaneous sleep. The starts of 111 episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) occurred in 12 patients. Statistical analysis failed to disclose significant differences in the number of starts per hour between wakefulness and the different sleep stages. Heart rate (HR)

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]

, 2017
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,
