Post-operative left atrial volume index is a predictor of the occurrence of permanent atrial fibrillation after mitral valve surgery in patients who undergo mitral valve surgery

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2018
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) can occur even after the correction of mitral valve (MV) pathology in patients who have pre-operative sinus rhythm and undergo MV surgery.

RNAseq shows an all-pervasive day-night rhythm in the transcriptome of the pacemaker of the heart

Scientific Reports, 2021
Physiological systems vary in a day-night manner anticipating increased demand at a particular time. Heart is no exception. Cardiac output is primarily determined by heart rate and unsurprisingly this varies in a day-night manner and is higher during the

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]

, 2017
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Growth differentiation factor‐15 and N‐terminal pro‐BNP in acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 888-899, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continues to be an increasingly common health problem associated with a high mortality rate. Elevated levels of Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF15) and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) are reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in a broad range of ...

Instantly Converting Atrial Fibrillation into Sinus Rhythm by a Digital Rectal Exam on a 29-year-Old Male

Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2010
Vagal maneuvers cause increase in vagal tone, which has been shown to slow many types supraventricular tachycardia, such as atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the conversion of AF to sinus rhythm is usually not associated with vagal manuvers. Thus, AF is

Left atrial strain is a powerful predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation: study of a heterogeneous population with sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation.

European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging, 2014
AIMS Accumulating data show the efficacy of catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF); however, postoperative recurrence is not uncommon. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of AF recurrence in patients undergoing CA. METHODS AND

Budget impact of adding ivabradine to standard of care in patients with chronic systolic heart failure in the United States [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) costs $21 billion annually in direct health care costs, 80% of which is directly attributable to hospitalizations. The SHIFT clinical study demonstrated that ivabradine plus standard of care (SoC) reduced HF-related and all-

STATE OF THE ART PHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPY FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2017
Pharmacological therapy remains the primary approach to atrial fibrillation (AF). Management of all AF patients includes the decision on rate or rhythm control. The latter means antiarrhythmic drugs application that are being selected primarily by safety

Commonalities of platelet dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and underlying comorbidities

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.
