Characterisation of the Na, K pump current in atrial cells from patients with and without chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2003
<b>Objective:</b> To assess the contribution of the Na, K pump current (<i>I</i>_p) to the action potential duration (APD) and effective refractory period (ERP) in human atrial cells, and to investigate ...

Mobile health interventions to improve adherence to oral anticoagulant treatment: A systematic review and critical analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Non‐adherence to oral anticoagulants (OACs) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have been used to improve medication adherence across the three phases of initiation, implementation and persistence.

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

Atrial Fibrillation Detection and Management in Hypertension

, 2023
Hypertension is prevalent in >70% of atrial fibrillation patients. In turn, hypertensive patients have up to 73% greater likelihood of atrial fibrillation.

Evaluating the Impact of Enhanced Stent Visualization on PCI Outcomes in Older Patients With Multivessel Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Optimal stent expansion is a key determinant of long‐term outcomes after PCI. Intravascular imaging provides the most accurate assessment of stent deployment but remains underused, especially in older patients with MI and multivessel disease.

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 ...

Chronic beta-adrenoceptor blockade and human atrial cell electrophysiology: evidence of pharmacological remodelling [PDF]

, 2003
<b>Objective:</b> Chronic beta-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment reduces the incidence of reversion to AF in patients, possibly via an adaptive myocardial response.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

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.
