Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) may be the cause or the consequence of funcionnal tricuspide regurgitation (TR). Predectifs factors of AF occurence secondary to TR and its prognosis are unclear Aim: to invastigate predective factors of AF induced by severe TR and its prognosis. Design ...
Atrial fibrillation is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and the most common kind. It is caused by rapid, uncontrolled atrial contractions and uncoordinated ventricular responses.
Atrial fibrillation caused by an excess of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism) can be treated with medication or surgery to address the underlying condition. When rheumatic heart disease is the cause, the condition may be treated with surgery to repair or replace heart valves damaged by the disease....
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm caused by erratic electrical signals in the heart. Atrial fibrillation is a progressive disease that worsens.
Atrial fibrillation is an arrhythmia caused by the onset of more than one point in the atria capable of triggering electrical impulses. When there are several electrical impulses being triggered simultaneously, in a chaotic way, the atrial muscles receive several orders of contraction at the same ti...
Certain medications, such as blood thinners, can greatly lower your risk of a stroke or the damage to other organs caused by blood clots. Heart failure.Atrial fibrillation, especially if not controlled, may weaken the heart and lead to heart failure — a condition in which your heart can't...
Atrial fibrillation, also called A-fib, is the most common type of heart arrhythmia. In fact, A-fib affects an estimated 3-6 million people in the United States alone.1With A-fib, the upper heart chambers (the atria) beat irregularly. As a result, blood doesn’t move well into the ...
Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation This type of AFib isn’t caused by a problem with a heart valve. It’s caused by other things, such as high blood pressure or an overactive thyroid gland. Doctors don’t always know what the cause is. ...
This channel includes news and new technology innovations for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, also referred to as AF or afib. AF is a cardiac arrhythmia caused by irregular and often rapid heart rate. It is caused by the upper chambers (the atria)
