Managing atrial fibrillation in the global community: The European perspective. [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation is a common, global problem, with great personal, economic and social burdens. As populations age it increases in prevalence and becomes another condition that requires careful chronic management to ensure its effects are minimised ...

High-Density Spectral Analysis for Bi-Atrial Arrhythmogenic Substrate During Non-Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]
Analyzing 48 153 CARTOFINDER mapping points revealed that both FoA and RoA sites demonstrated elevated DF deviation (DFD) and RI compared to non‐sites. While both metrics increased progressively with FoA repetitions, high‐repetition RoA sites paradoxically displayed lower values.

Mechanisms of termination and prevention of atrial fibrillation by drug therapy [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a disorder of the rhythm of electrical activation of the cardiac atria. It is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, has multiple aetiologies, and increases the risk of death from stroke.

Initiating mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PDF]
The understanding of the onset mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) may help to develop preventive therapy. Specific heart rate (HR) patterns and autonomic changes immediately before the onset of paroxysmal AF are not fully investigated. We undertook the present study to assess HR and heart rate variability (HRV) changes before the onset ...

Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation on Flecainide Therapy [PDF]
Flecainide pill-in-the-pocket therapy is a pharmacologic treatment option for patients with infrequent episodes of symptomatic atrial fibrillation. We report a case of wide complex tachycardia due to atrial flutter with 1:1 atrioventricular conduction in a patient who took pill-in-the-pocket flecainide without concomitant atrioventricular nodalblockade.

Diagnostic Usefulness of Cell Block Samples in Fluid Overload‐Associated Large B‐Cell Lymphoma
ABSTRACT Fluid overload‐associated B‐cell lymphoma (FO‐LBCL) is a B‐cell neoplasm that presents as serous effusions without detectable tumor masses and Kaposi sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) infection. Here, we report a case of an 81‐year‐old female patient with FO‐LBCL (Stage IVA) who presented with pericardial and ...

POLYURIA IN PAROXYSMAL TACHYCARDIA AND PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL FLUTTER AND FIBRILLATION [PDF]
When Paul Wood spoke about this to the British Cardiac Society in 1961, we were impressed by the originality of his work on a subject that so many had noticed but failed to investigate. A few months before his death in July 1962, when I asked him if his paper was ready for the journal, he said that he had not yet been able to get all the evidence he ...

Hypoadiponectinemia in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived hormone that has beneficial effects on cardiac function and has been reported to be associated with lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, and insulin resistance. Serum levels of adiponectin are reduced in obese individuals compared with non-obese individuals.
