Rhythm-control vs rate-control in the elderly: When to do it and which drug to prefer?
Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2018 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a relevant cardiovascular condition that is more prevalent in the elderly patients aged over 65 years. AF, with abnormal rate and rhythm can cause symptoms directly or indirectly by exacerbating other frequently coexisting ...

How to Choose Between Rate and Rhythm Control Strategy
Majalah Kardiologi Indonesia, 2013 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and highly variable in its clinical presenta-tion and evolution. Iit causes substantial morbidity and mortality, including impaired quality of life, heart failure, systemic emboli, and stroke.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

Strategies for Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation
, 2020 Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia encountered worldwide, is associated with significant morbidity. The three important considerations with regard to AF management are stroke prevention, rate control, and rhythm control, with the latter

Hundred years of atrial fibrillation: Current knowledge and perspectives [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2010 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in general population. AF in humans was first described in 1903. Gradually, it has been well appreciated that AF is not just an acceptable alternative for normal rhythm but rather a serious

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We present a tissue‐stimulator platform for seamless electrode integration with pancreatic tissue, applying uniform electrical stimulation through optimized design with biohybrid 3D printing. Advantageous effects of electrical stimulation on β‐cell function were observed, including enhanced calcium signaling, islet morphology, and maturation.

Ablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: between Present and Future
Reviews in Cardiovascular MedicinePulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the established cornerstone for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, indeed current guidelines recognize PVI as the gold standard for first-time AF ablation, regardless of if it is paroxysmal or persistent. Since 1998 when
