The impact of height on the risk of atrial fibrillation: the Cardiovascular Health Study AIMS: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. Increased body size has been associated with AF, but the relationship is not well u... MA Rosenberg,KK Patton,S Nona,... - 《Eur...
Diet for atrial fibrillation Focus on eating healthy foods. These include: Fruits and vegetables Whole grains Dairy products that are low in fat Lean meat Nuts, seeds, and beans You may also need to avoid or limit certain things. They can include: ...
Background: Being obese or underweight, and having diabetes are important risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is unclear whether there is any interaction between body weight and diabetes in regard to development of new-onset AF. We aimed to evaluate the role of ...
Atrial fibrillation is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and the most common kind. It is caused by rapid, uncontrolled atrial contractions and uncoordinated ventricular responses.
Tests for atrial fibrillation include: Blood tests to check your thyroid, liver, and kidneys. Electrocardiogram( EKG ) to record how fast your heart is beating and the timing of electrical signals that pass through it. A nurse or technician will place about 12 small, sticky ...
Atrial fibrillation affects the atria. Normally, the muscular walls of the atria contract at the same time, pumping blood into the lower two chambers (the ventricles). Then the walls of the ventricles contract at the same time, pumping blood to the rest of the body....
What are the complications of atrial fibrillation? Heart failure: If the heart is unable to pump an adequate amount of blood to the body, as in some people with atrial fibrillation, the body begins to compensate by retaining fluid. This can lead to a condition called heart failure. Heart fa...
Further studies exploring the differential effects of BMI on AF risk in men and women are needed. 展开 关键词: atrial fibrillation body mass index diabetes obesity DOI: 10.1016/j.jacep.2020.08.008 年份: 2020 收藏 引用 批量引用 报错 分享 ...
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 ...
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...
