Atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation are both types of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias).Atrial fibrillation(AFib) affects the two upper chambers of your heart. Ventricular fibrillation (VFib) affects the two lower chambers of the heart. As many as 6 million people in the U.S. have ...
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) and ventricular fibrillation (Vfib) are both a type of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Atrial fibrillation is caused by irregular electrical impulses in the atria and ventricular fibrillation is caused by irregular electric
Atrial fibrillation may automatically revert to normal sinus rhythm and require no treatment, in a few people. Many people with AFib can be treated with heart rate controlling or rhythm-controlling medications (see prevention). Moreover, some people with AFib may respond well to electrical cardiover...
Management of atrial fibrillation: Ventricular rate control—Drugs vs. catheter ablationdoi:10.1016/1062-1458(95)93660-KELSEVIERAcc Current Journal Review
A normal heartbeat is 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM). In AFib with RVR, yourheart ratecan reach more than 100 BPM. What Are the Risk Factors for AFib? You're more likely to get atrial fibrillation if you have: Heart disease ...
Quantitative assessment of right atrial function by strain and strain rate imaging in patients with heart failure. We sought to evaluate the regional longitudinal strain/strain rate profiles in the right atrial wall to quantify right atrial function in systolic heart fa... Zahra,Ojaghi,Haghighi,....
The monitoring data was reviewed, and it was the patient’s first episode of atrial fibrillation after surgery. Because atrial fibrillation usually causes hemodynamic instability, it is manifested by an unstable heart rate. Considering that the persistently high heart rate may induce the risk of ...
Irrigated RF current is delivered in the power control mode starting at 30 W for endocardial ablation, 20 W in the GCV, and 30 W on the epicardial surface with an irrigation flow rate of 15 to 30 mL/min. The RF power is titrated to as high as 50, 30, and 50 W, respectively, ...
Compared with women, this group of patients with a BMI < 30, no history of atrial fibrillation, no history of COPD and no history of PCI had a higher all-cause mortality rate at 90 days in the male HFmrEF (P < 0.05). Table 5 Comparison of 90 day all cause deaths between...
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...
