Sequential Hybrid Procedure for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2015
Background Catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation yields an unsatisfactorily high number of failures. The hybrid approach has recently emerged as a technique that overcomes the limitations of both surgical and catheter procedures alone. Methods and Results

Frequent periodic leg movement during sleep is an unrecognized risk factor for progression of atrial fibrillation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Sleep apnea has been recognized as a factor predisposing to atrial fibrillation recurrence and progression. The effect of other sleep-disturbing conditions on atrial fibrillation progression is not known.

Atrial fibrillation of new onset during acute illness: prevalence of, and risk factors for, persistence after hospital discharge [PDF]

Acute and Critical Care, 2021
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) of new onset during acute illness (AFNOAI) has a variable incidence of 1%–44% in hospitalized patients. This study assesses the risk factors for persistence of AFNOAI in the 5 years after hospital discharge for ...

Difference in risk factors of silent brain infarction between paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2021
Background: Although silent brain infarction is an independent risk factor for subsequent symptomatic stroke and dementia in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, little is known regarding differences in risk factors for silent brain infarction ...

Ablation Therapy for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Current Cardiology Reviews, 2022
: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of electrical disturbance of the heart and contributes to significant patient morbidity and mortality. With a better understanding of the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation and improvements in mapping and ablation technologies, ablation has become a preferred therapy for patients with symptomatic AF ...

The role of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and PD-1 expression on CD4 T cells in atrial fibrillation

Heliyon, 2023
Backgrounds: While not completely understood, the electrical, structural, and communication pathways that play a role in the onset and progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) seem to be connected to the intricate interplay between neurohormones and ...
