Echocardiographic Predictors of Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation In Patients with Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis and Normal Sinus Rhythm.
Introduction: Rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS) increases the risk of both atrial fibrillation (AF) and thromboembolism. Methods: Patients with mitral stenosis and normal sinus rhythm were enrolled in the study prospectively.The present study was designed to study whether echocardiographic evaluation in patients with mitral stenosis and normal sinus rhythm could predict the occurrence of symptoma...
متن کاملAtrial deformation: the key to maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common serious arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, and accounts for approximately one-third of all hospitalizations for cardiac rhythm disturbances. Consequently, effective therapies for conversion of AF to, and maintenance of, sinus rhythm (SR) have been actively sought. Currently, catheter-based ablation techniques have been shown to be promising ...
متن کاملPrediction of successful cardioversion and maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with lone atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE We aimed to prospectively investigate the predictive value of echocardiographic parameters for the prediction of successful cardioversion and long-term sinus rhythm (SR) maintenance in patients who have experienced a lone episode of atrial fibrillation (AF). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Clinical and echocardiographic data, including mean left atrial appendage (LAA) peak flow velocity an...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Recurrence Predictors after Conversion to Sinus Rhythm
PURPOSE We aimed to identify predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after conversion to sinus rhythm. MATERIAL/METHODS We included 100 patients with a history of documented atrial fibrillation in the last 12 months that were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography, 12-lead electrocardiogram and signal averaged electrocardiogram of the P wave. Follow-up was 7.3 ± 2.2 months. RESULTS...
متن کاملTransesophageal Echocardiographic Findings Are Independent and Relevant Predictors of Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Not only clinical factors, including the CHADS(2) score, but also echocardiographic findings have been reported to be useful for predicting the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). However, it remains to be determined which of these factors might be more relevant for evaluation of the risk of stroke in each patient. METHODS In...
