Since 1995, a number of studies have established and detailed the mechanisms of electrical and structural atrial remodeling induced by atrial fibrillation. Atrial remodeling involves many cellular components, from ionic channels to connexins. The determination of these mechanisms may help to define a ...
Studies on outcome in Warmblood populations in which duration of the AF is often unknown are limited. Objectives To identify the factors that are associated with the success of full treatment cardioversion with oral medication, and establish whether there are differences in these factors between ...
Atrial fibrillation that happens in younger people (under 60 years old), without an obvious cause is called lone AFib. Lone AFib can be triggered by exercise, eating, sleeping, and alcohol. Sometimes it comes and goes on its own and may not need immediate treatment. Consult your doctor. Dia...
Algorithm for the management of atrial fibrillation Image by Lecturio. AF management consists of the following: Determination of hemodynamic status Rate control OR rhythm control AC therapy Treatment of the underlying cause Special considerations: Newly discovered AF < 24–48 hours → electrical cardiover...
Medical management of atrial fibrillation: state of the art. Prevention and treatment of atrial arrhythmias, and in particular atrial fibrillation, is therefore an important aspect of the management of patients with ... FA Masoudi,N Goldschlager 被引量: 22发表: 2006年 Stroke Prevention in the Hi...
Antiarrhythmic drug therapy is the mainstay for managing atrial fibrillation (AF). The main limitations of antiarrhythmic drug therapy include limited effi cacy, potential adverse effects, and the palliative nature of this treatment option. Nevertheless, substantial evidence has emerged suggesting that dru...
In a post-approval study including more than 17,000 patients on the safety of pulsed field ablation, a new method for treatment of atrial fibrillation, the procedure was found to have a low rate of adverse events but was associated with some unexpected rare complications that will need further...
Heart Disease Treatment: Bypass Surgery Some patient's coronary arteries are not good candidates for angioplasty and/or stents. Such patients may benefit from another treatment technique termed bypass surgery. Bypass surgery occurs when a surgeon removes a blood vessel from one part of the body (ch...
In the treatment of atrial fibrillation, a condition that affects 3 to 6 million people in the U.S., ensoETM significantly reduces the likelihood of esophageal injury during RF cardiac ablations. Additionally, studies have reported reduced procedure times and patient readmissions, and increased rates...
