Centrum Semiovale Perivascular Spaces Predict First Hemorrhagic Lesion in Asymptomatic Amyloid‐Positive Individuals

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Identification of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) before its hemorrhagic manifestations remains limited. We aimed to determine whether severe enlarged perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (EPVS‐CSO) identify a prehemorrhagic stage of sporadic CAA by predicting the first appearance of CAA‐related hemorrhagic lesions or incident ...

Ablation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2017
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in the clinical setting affecting nearly 6 million people in United States and the numbers are only expected to rise as the population continues to age. Broadly it is classified into paroxysmal, persistent and longstanding persistent AF. Electrical, structural and autonomic remodeling

Profibrotic pathways and atrial cardiomyopathy in persistent atrial fibrillation

Clinics, 2016
I enjoyed reading the interesting article by Wu et al. 1, in which the authors demonstrated a significant relationship between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, a profibrotic and proinflammatory molecule, and recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation. The authors also reported that left atrial (LA) diameter and a history

Discrimination of Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation

International Heart Journal, 2016
Discrimination between paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (PAF and persistent AF) is important for determining the therapeutic strategy in patients with new-onset AF. We evaluated various clinical factors and P wave morphology to discriminate PAF and persistent AF patients in patients with new-onset AF.The study population consisted of 79 ...

Non-valvular atrial fibrillation and stroke : implications for management [PDF]

, 1995
Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation is more prevalent with increasing age. It is associated with a six-fold excess risk of stroke; and a cumulative lifetime stroke risk of 35%. 15% of ischaemic strokes are directly attributable to it.

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure Using a PFO Occluder After an Incomplete Surgical Ligation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The case regards a 73‐year‐old male who was referred for consideration of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure. His left atrial appendage was ligated during prior mitral valve surgery, but was noted to be patent on a recent transesophageal echocardiography. An Amulet device was selected based on CT planning.

Cardioversion of atrial fibrillation does not affect obstructive sleep apnea

Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: Sleep apnea is common in patients with atrial fibrillation, but the effect of the cardioversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm on central and obstructive apneas is mainly unknown.

The serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 level is an independent predictor of recurrence after ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation

Clinics, 2016
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether the serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 level is an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. METHODS: Fifty-eight consecutive patients with persistent atrial

Catheter ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2016
Catheter ablation is increasingly offered to patients who suffer from symptoms due to atrial fibrillation (AF), based on a growing body of evidence illustrating its efficacy compared with antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Approximately one-third of AF ablation procedures are currently performed in patients with persistent or long-standing persistent AF ...
