Electrophysiological and arrhythmogenic effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine on human atrial cells are reduced in atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2007
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is proarrhythmic in atrial cells from patients in sinus rhythm (SR) via activation of 5-HT₄ receptors, but its effects in atrial cells from patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are unknown.

Cryoballoon Ablation Strategy in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Cryoballoon ablation is established for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective was to evaluate CBA strategy in consecutive patients with persistent AF in the initial AF ablation procedure.Material and Methods: Prospectively, patients with symptomatic persistent AF scheduled for AF ablation all ...

RHYTHM-AF: design of an international registry on cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and characteristics of participating centers [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is a serious public health problem posing a considerable burden to not only patients, but the healthcare environment due to high rates of morbidity, mortality, and medical resource utilization. There are limited data on the

Clinical Differences between Subtypes of Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter: Cross-Sectional Registry of 407 Patients

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2015
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter account for one third of hospitalizations due to arrhythmias, determining great social and economic impacts. In Brazil, data on hospital care of these patients is scarce.

Mechanisms of termination and prevention of atrial fibrillation by drug therapy [PDF]

, 2011
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.

Atrial fibrillation ablation beyond pulmonary veins: The role of left atrial appendage

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2017
The role of pulmonary vein isolation in patients with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is only modest. Several studies have demonstrated the role of the left atrial appendage (LAA) in initiating and maintaining of this arrhythmia.
