A major concern with atrial fibrillation is the potential to develop blood clots within the upper chambers of the heart. These blood clots forming in the heart may circulate to other organs and lead to blocked blood flow (ischemia). Treatments for atrial fibrillation may include medications and ...
Various complications, some of them serious, have been reported in the last several years. This review addresses the potential risks of AF ablation and how to avoid some of these complications. 展开 关键词: Atrial fibrillation Ablation DOI: 10.1007/s10840-007-9200-3 被引量: 20 年份: ...
Life-threatening complications of atrial fibrillation are: (a) atrial thrombosis, particularly in the left auricle (Figure 10.71), with pending systemic embolism and stroke; (b) high ventricular rate, in case of ventricular response at high frequency, accounting for “tachycardiomyopathy” and (c)...
Cryoballoon Ablation Mechanisms and Potential Complications Given these known limitations considerable effort has been directed toward developing technologies to achieve safer and more effective pulmonary vein isolation that is less reliant on operator dexterity. One such system is the Arctic Front Cryoballoon...
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...
have reviewed the major causes of death in patients undergoing catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Many of these complications could be prevented by careful catheter manipulation, implementing safe energy settings, adequate anticoagulation, and esophageal monitoring. Urgent pericardial drainage is ...
Czick et al Atrial Fibrillation: Defiance Figure 1. Atrial Action Potential Ion Currents. While the SA cells are depolarizing, the surrounding contractile cells of the atria are at their resting membrane potential of approximately -90mV, due to the IK1 current. Once the SA depolarize...
Figure 2. Potential Modifiable and Nonmodifiable Risk Factors for AF The figure highlights various modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors that are relevant to atrial fibrillation (AF). This provides a unique opportunity to influence the primary and secondary prevention pathways in managing patients wi...
