Impact of atrial fibrillation on the risk of death: the Framingham Heart Study.

Circulation, 1998
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes substantial morbidity. It is uncertain whether AF is associated with excess mortality independent of associated cardiac conditions and risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the mortality of subjects 55

Diathermy-induced Ventricular Fibrillation [PDF]

Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management, 2020
Diathermy is extensively used in patients for intracardiac device implant and extraction. While diathermy helps with adequate hemostasis, it may rarely be associated with fatal dysrhythmias. We report a case of diathermy-induced ventricular fibrillation during device extraction.

Vorticity‐Facilitated Platelet Aggregation: a High Expansion‐Ratio Stenotic Microfluidic Platform Unravels the Role of Complex Flow Dynamics in Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Intensive Exercise Training Improves Cardiac Electrical Stability in Myocardial‐Infarcted Rats

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundModerate exercise training has been shown to decrease sudden cardiac death post myocardial infarction. However, the effects of intensive exercise are still controversial.

PFKM‐Driven Lactate Overproduction Promotes Atrial Fibrillation via Triggering Cardiac Fibroblasts Histone Lactylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The upregulation of PFKM activates glycolysis, thereby enhancing lactate production in atrial tissue. Atrial lactate accumulation promotes global lactylation and H3K18 lactylation in atrial fibroblasts. P300‐mediated H3K18 lactylation up‐regulates TGF‐β1 transcription, leading to fibroblast activation and thereby contributing to atrial fibrosis.

A comparison of rate control and rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2002
BACKGROUND There are two approaches to the treatment of atrial fibrillation: one is cardioversion and treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs to maintain sinus rhythm, and the other is the use of rate-controlling drugs, allowing atrial fibrillation to ...

Mesencephalic Astrocyte‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor Binds BAX to Preserve Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Energy Metabolism for Relieving Myocardial Hypertrophy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MANF in cardiomyocytes interacts with BAX to impede BAX mitochondrial translocation and cytochrome c release, further stabilizing mitochondrial structure and energy supply to relieve myocardial apoptosis and hypertrophy, which indicates MANF as a novel cardioprotective factor to have a promising clinical application for myocardial hypertrophy ...

Management of sudden cardiac death in cardiac sarcoidosis using the wearable cardioverter defibrillator. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Patients with cardiac sarcoidosis are at increased risk of ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation.We tested the hypothesis that the wearable cardioverter defibrillator can be used to mitigate the risk of sudden cardiac death among cardiac sarcoidosis ...

Pulseless Electrical Activity as the Initial Cardiac Arrest Rhythm: Importance of Preexisting Left Ventricular Function

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a common initial rhythm in cardiac arrest. A substantial number of PEA arrests are caused by coronary ischemia in the setting of acute coronary occlusion, but the underlying mechanism is not well ...
