For Patients. By Patients. Atrial fibrillation (afib) is the most common irregular heartbeat. Characterized by heart palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath (or no symptoms at all), it increases your stroke risk 500 percent and can lead to heart failure and dementia. It can also inc...

Being cognisant of the information needs of patients with AF, healthcare providers may become more effective in developing person-centred patient education interventions. Relevance to clinical practice Delivering relevant patient education is an important cornerstone for atrial fibrillation care. Nurses by ...
EHRA-PATHS investigators have defined 22 comorbidities that are relevant in patients with atrial fibrillation. For each, the consortium has created concise care pathways to check for or exclude whether a given comorbidity is present, to guide its further evaluation, and to ensure its effective manage...
When possible, patients with complex CHD should be referred for care to an adult congenital heart disease center of excellence. 展开 关键词: Atrial Fibrillation, Fontan, Congenital Heart Disease DOI: 10.4022/jafib.1612 年份: 2017 收藏 引用 批量引用 报错 分享 ...
Text Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that can be asymptomatic or disabling. Its prevalence increases with age and its presence can markedly increase the risk of stroke. Recent advances have offered new options for anticoagulation, interventions to decrease the risk of embolic stroke, and ...
Patients not eligible to oral anticoagulant treatment had an increased risk of recurrent stroke (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.92, 95% CI: 1.19-3.11). CONCLUSION: Atrial fibrillation is associated with a poor outcome among patients with ischemic stroke particularly among patients, who are not eligible ...
Previous epidemiological studies focusing on the association between liver disease and atrial fibrillation (AF) show interesting but inconsistent findings. Patients with liver disease have a higher AF risk; however, it is unknown whether the liver fibrosis index can predict AF risk. The medical records...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) does not only deteriorate the cardiac function and increases the thromboembolic risk but also triggers rapid and irregular ventricular rhythm in patients with atrial synchronous pacing. However, the risk factors for the development of AF in patients with pacemakers are not cle...
