Thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation and association with cognitive decline: systematic review [PDF]

, 2016
Objective:Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is associated with dementia. If AF-related cognitive decline is driven by cerebral embolic events, thromboprophylaxis may impact on this.

Pulsed Field Versus Radiofrequency Ablation in Concomitant Pulmonary Vein Isolation and LAA Occlusion: Impact on Peridevice Leak and Procedural Efficiency

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Concomitant pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is increasingly performed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) at elevated thromboembolic risk. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been the conventional approach, but pulsed field ablation (PFA) may reduce tissue edema, procedural duration, and

Is Stroke risk analysis (SRA) a reliable method for predicting atrial fibrillation? A systematic review.

PLoS ONE
IntroductionAtrial fibrillation is responsible for a considerable number of cases of cardioembolism, accounting for 17% to 30% of the etiologies of all strokes.

Incidence and predictors of premature ventricular complexes following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and previous studies have focused on the epidemiology, mechanisms and risk factors for this global disease (Ryder and Benjamin 1999). Various studies have examined the mechanism,

Past alcohol consumption and incident atrial fibrillation: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundAlthough current alcohol consumption is a risk factor for incident atrial fibrillation (AF), the more clinically relevant question may be whether alcohol cessation is associated with a reduced risk.Methods and resultsWe studied participants ...

Self‐Administered Etripamil Nasal Spray Slows Ventricular Rate in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Post Hoc Analysis of the NODE‐303 Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Currently, there are no available fast‐acting agents to control the ventricular rate (VR) during atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes that can be self‐administered by patients on an as‐needed basis without medical supervision. Here, we aim to evaluate the effect of intranasal etripamil on VR in patients treating presumed paroxysmal ...

Longstanding Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: How Do You Perform It?

Journal of Cardiac Arrhythmias, 2020
Longstanding-persistent atrial fibrillation is one of the most challenging arrhythmias to treat. While radiofrequency catheter ablation is highly effective in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, pulmonary vein antral isolation (including posterior wall ...

Automatic Mode Switching in Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

, 2005
Automatic mode switching (AMS) algorithms were designed to prevent tracking of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATA) or other rapidly occurring signals sensed by atrial channels, thereby reducing the adverse hemodynamic and symptomatic consequences of a rapid ...

Embolic strokes of undetermined source: prevalence and patient features in the ESUS Global Registry [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Recent evidence supports that most non-lacunar cryptogenic strokes are embolic. Accordingly, these strokes have been designated as embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS).
