Managing atrial fibrillation in the global community: The European perspective. [PDF]

, 2013
Atrial fibrillation is a common, global problem, with great personal, economic and social burdens. As populations age it increases in prevalence and becomes another condition that requires careful chronic management to ensure its effects are minimised ...

Impact of Renal Impairment on Beta-Blocker Efficacy in Patients With Heart Failure. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Moderate and moderately severe renal impairment are common in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, but whether beta-blockers are effective is unclear, leading to underuse of life-saving therapy.

Efficacy and Safety of Bepridil for Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation after Failed Electrical Cardioversion

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2011
Introduction: Bepridil is effective for atrial fibrillation (AF), but it can induce torsades de pointes. Thus we examined the efficacy and safety of bepridil when started at 100 mg/day for AF after failed electrical cardioversion (EC).

Esophageal Electrical Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation: When Esophagus Gives a Help to Cardiologists

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2011
Atrial fibrillation is a common clinical disease especially in the elderly and in patients with organic heart disease. Electrical cardioversion is the first choice therapeutic approach for patients in which sinus rhythm could improve the quality of life

A study on stability analysis of atrial repolarization variability using ARX model in sinus rhythm and atrial tachycardia ECGs [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Background The interaction between the PTa and PP interval dynamics from the surface ECG is seldom explained. Mathematical modeling of these intervals is of interest in finding the relationship between the heart rate and ...

Pharmacological analysis of sinus rhythm.

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1993
The SA nodal pacemaker activity is regulated dominantly by autonomic nervous elements, i.e., sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous factors. In addition, circulatory bioactive substances and physicochemical factors also modify changes in sinus rate. Exogenously applied substances exert their actions on sinus rate directly and/or indirectly.
