Current strategies of antiarrhythmic drug therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2012
Atrial fibrillation is now recognized as a significant medical and social problem. Atrial fibrillation not only causes cardiovascular complications, including thromboembolism and heart failure, but also decreases the survival of patients with impaired ...

Body mass index, abdominal fatness, fat mass and the risk of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of prospective studies [PDF]

, 2017
Different adiposity measures have been associ- ated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation, however, results have previously only been summarized for BMI. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of prospective studies to clarify

Temporal patterns and short-term progression of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: data from RACE V

Europace, 2020
Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) often starts as a paroxysmal self-terminating arrhythmia. Limited information is available on AF patterns and episode duration of paroxysmal AF.

Prevalence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients presenting with embolic stroke of undetermined source

International Journal of the Cardiovascular Academy, 2020
Background: Cerebrovascular stroke is a major cause of morbidity and disability. Many etiologies may contribute to its presence. Some patients have none of the identifiable risk factors yet face the consequences of stroke or transit ischemic attack. This

Dual chamber pacemaker in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2005
Background. Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent cardiac dysrhythmia. The aim of this study was to show the role and the efficacy of a dual chamber pacemaker with the algorithm of atrial dynamic overdrive, in the suppression of paroxysmal atrial ...

A Review of Atrial Fibrillation Detection Methods as a Service [PDF]

, 2020
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common heart arrhythmia that often goes undetected, and even if it is detected, managing the condition may be challenging. In this paper, we review how the RR interval and Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, incorporated into a

Detection of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation using Attention-based Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Networks [PDF]

Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 2018
Detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of cardiac arrhythmia, is difficult since many cases of AF are usually clinically silent and undiagnosed. In particular paroxysmal AF is a form of AF that occurs occasionally, and has a higher probability of ...

The Role of CHA2DS2VASC Score and Diabetes-Related Demographic and Clinical Factors for Determining the İncidence of Paroxysmal Atriyal Fibrillation in 24 Hour Rhythm Monitoring in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Mecmuası, 2018
Objectives:Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and thromboembolism. CHA2DS2VASC score is a scoring system indicating risk of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation.

Integrating the Left Atrium Diameter to Improve the Predictive Ability of the Age, Creatinine, and Ejection Fraction Score for Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cryoballoon Ablation

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Several clinical trials have assessed predictors for atrial fibrillation recurrence following cryoballoon catheter ablation. With these predictors, a practical and new scoring system can be developed to evaluate atrial fibrillation recurrence.
