The Concept of "Burden" in Atrial Fibrillation.

Over the last decade or so the term "burden" has become frequently encountered in manuscripts discussing atrial fibrillation (AF). AF "burden" is perhaps most commonly encountered in the electrophysiological context - the amount of time the patient is in AF out of the total monitored time (i.e., the percent of time one is in AF). However, "burden" in AF may also be used in other contexts, which...

Burden of disease and cost of illness of atrial fibrillation in Portugal.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia. This paper estimates the burden and cost of illness attributable to atrial fibrillation in Portugal based on demographic and health statistics. METHODS Mortality data by cause of death came from the European Detailed Mortality Database of the World Health Organization (WHO). Hospital data were taken fr...

Protective effects of simvastatin on atrioventricular node during simulated experimental atrial fibrillation in vitro

Introduction: Recent evidence has indicated that statins can reduce the incidence of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias with various mechanisms. The primary goal of the present study was to determine direct protective role of simvastatin in modifying concealed conduction and the zone of concealment in a simulated model of atrial fibrillation (AF) in an isolated atrioventricula...
