Depression in Atrial Fibrillation in the General Population
BACKGROUND Initial evidence suggests that depressive symptoms are more frequent in patients with atrial fibrillation. Data from the general population are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS In 10,000 individuals (mean age 56±11 years, 49.4% women) of the population-based Gutenberg Health Study we assessed depression by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and a history of depression in relation...
متن کاملMultiple Biomarkers and Atrial Fibrillation in the General Population

Novel biomarkers capturing inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurohumoral activation have not been investigated comprehensively in AF. METHODS AND RESULTS In the population-based Gutenberg Health Study (n = 5000), mean age 56 ± 11 years, 51% males, we measured ten biomarkers representing inflammation (C-...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation and Stroke in the General Medicare Population

Methods—The Medicare 5% sample for 1992 to 2002 was used to create 1-year cohorts of patients w...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation in the heart failure population.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic arrhythmia. Incidence of AF in the heart failure population is high--10% to 30%--and is associated with a reduction in exercise capacity and a poor long-term prognosis. Management of AF includes 4 strategies: control of heart rate, termination of AF/conversion back to sinus rhythm, prevention of recurrences, and prevention of thromboembolic ev...
متن کاملA survey of atrial fibrillation in general practice: the West Birmingham Atrial Fibrillation Project.
BACKGROUND The management of atrial fibrillation (AF) has changed substantially in recent years, especially with a greater appreciation of the prophylactic role of antithrombotic therapy against stroke. There is therefore a need for further information on the prevalence of AF in Britain, the prevalence of (and contraindications to) anticoagulant treatment, and the factors that influence doctors...
