Effect of body mass index on defibrillation thresholds for internal cardioversion in pa- tients with atrial fibrillation. Am J Cardiol 2004;94:370 -372.Kistler PM, Sanders P, Morton JB, Vohra JK, Kalman JM, Sparks PB. Effect of body mass index on defibrillation thresholds for internal ...
Atrial fibrillation, also called AF or AFib, is a quivery, fluttery heartbeat. You might also hear the doctor call it arrhythmia. It means your heart’s normal rhythm is out of whack. Because your blood isn't moving well, you're more likely to have heart failure. That's when your he...
What is atrial fibrillation (A-fib)?A-fib is an irregular heartbeat that reduces your heart's ability to pump blood through your body. A-fib may come and go, or it may be a long-term condition. A-fib can cause life-threatening blood clots, stroke, or heart failure. It is important...
Effect on the Heart What Is Fibrillation? AFib vs VFib: Differences AFib vs VFib: Similarities Is It Serious? Causes Symptoms & Signs EKG Patterns Treatment Life Expectancy Prevention What are AFib and VFib, and how do they affect the heart? Picture of the Electrical Activity ...
Computed tomography was used to examine 3217 participants, of which 54 developed atrial fibrillation. Pericardial fat volume was found to be associated with prevalent atrial fibrillation following adjustment for risk factors including body mass index [37]. It is therefore surprising that females have ...
Obesity has been shown to be associated with atrial enlargement and ventricular diastolic dysfunction, both of which are risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the role of obesity as a risk factor for the development of AF is unknown. The study aims to evaluate the role of obesit...
Table 1: Drugs for Atrial Fibrillation That Slow Conduction Through the Atrioventricular Node Beta Blockers • Advantages: Intravenous administration produces a rapid onset of effect; heart rate control at rest and with activity; oral forms available. ...
During atrial fibrillation, the heart's two upper chambers (the atria) beat chaotically and irregularly — out of coordination with the two lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart. Sometimes the misfiring signals can also make your heart’s two bottom chambers, called ventricles, beat too...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia. Epidemiological studies have documented a substantial genetic component. More than 160 genes have been associated with AF during the last decades. Some of these were discovered by classical linkage studies while the majority relies on ...
