Relationship between left atrial appendage function and left atrial thrombus in patients with nonvalvular chronic atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.
The relationship between the left atrial appendage (LAA) function, as assessed by transesophageal echocardiography, and the incidence of left atrial thrombus was evaluated in 62 patients with nonvalvular chronic atrial fibrillation (AF; n=50) and atrial flutter (AFL; n=12). It was hypothesized that in both AF and AFL not only the LAA flow velocity (LAAFV), but also the frequency of the LAA move...
متن کاملInvestigation of the relationship between pharmacological knowledge of anticoagulants with medication adherence in the elderly patients with atrial fibrillation
Introduction and Aim: In the elderly, the rate of adherence to the medication regimen and the rate of remembering how to correctly prescribe medication is low due to old age and memory loss, which leads to poor therapeutic results. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between anticoagulants knowledge and adherence to treatment in elderly cardiac patients with atrial fibrillat...
متن کاملPatients With Atrial Fibrillation
Background: The method described provides a rational means for determining whether to institute chronic anticoagulation to prevent stroke in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation under a variety of clinical circumstances. Summary of Comment: The concept of expected value is used in conjunction with data from clinical studies to define the net value of anticoagulation to the patient. A full ...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous diltiazem in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
BACKGROUND Diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker, has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of patients in atrial fibrillation and/or atrial flutter. However, there have been no pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies of diltiazem in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous diltiazem were determined in 32 patients with atrial f...
متن کاملProlonged fractionation of paced right atrial electrograms in patients with atrial flutter and fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the extent of fractionation of paced right atrial electrograms in patients with and without paroxysmal atrial flutter (AFL) or atrial fibrillation (AF). BACKGROUND Slow conduction through nonuniform anisotropic atrial muscles, represented by fractionated electrograms, may favor the generation of atrial tachyarrhythmias. METHODS This study included 10 contr...
