AFib can cause blood to pool in the chambers, raising the risk ofblood clotsand strokes. People with AFib are five times more likely to have astrokeversus people who don’t have the condition. They also have a higher risk ofheart failure,heart attack, cardiac arrest, anddementia. While no...
Ventricular fibrosis was increased in intact AVN versus ablated AVN and sham groups and was not significantly different in ablated AVN and sham groups.ConclusionAF without ventricular dysfunction results in atrial fibrosis and increased susceptibility to AF, suggesting that AF alone causes atrial ...
Comparisons of Substrates Responsible for Atrial Versus Ventricular FibrillationThe fundamental mechanisms underlying fibrillation have long been debated (Figure 16-1). The classical notion of multiple circuit reentry (Figure 16-1C) has been challenged by recent ideas suggesting that in some cases a ...
1、心房顫動(Atrial Fibrillation)之藥物治療(Pharmacotherapy)新知宋 瑞 珍前 言心房纖維顫動(AF)(atrial fibrillation)(如附圖所示)是臨床上心律不整疾病(cardiac rhythm disorders)中很常見的一種問題。在美國大約有230萬的成年病人有AF(1)。一般而言,AF的發生和心房(atrium)的退化病變(degenerative changes)有關...
Atrial fibrillation is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and the most common kind. It is caused by rapid, uncontrolled atrial contractions and uncoordinated ventricular responses.
Atrial-Functional Versus Ventricular-Functional Mitral Regurgitation: Prognostic Implicationsatrial fibrillationfunctional mitral regurgitationBackground Atrial-functional mitral regurgitation (Atrial-FMR) is a concept occurring due to left atrial dilatation or atrial fibrillation in heart failure with preserved ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with various major adverse cardiac events such as ischemic stroke, heart failure, and increased overall mortality. However, its association with lethal ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular flutter (VFL), and ventricular fibrillatio...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased mortality and a higher complication rate postmyocardial infarction (MI), but the exact mechanisms are unknown. We investigated whether AF predisposes to ventricular arrhythmia in postmyocardial infarct patients, thereby accounting for increased mortality...
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 fibros
