Mortality of Atrial Fibrillation
The title of John Iacovino’s mortality risk analysis1 of the Framingham Heart Study of Benjamin et al2 is "Mortality of Atrial Fibrillation in a Population Selected to be Free of Major Cardiovascular Impairments," and Iacovino’s analysis is presented as a demonstration of "the magnitude of additional mortality produced by the development of atrial fibrillation not associated with major cardiova...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation and mortality.
of cardiovascular death, after adjustment for the decreasing cardiovascular mortality rate in the general population. Does this mean we are getting better at managing atrial fibrillation? Are new drugs and novel electrophysiological techniques making an impact? The report from Frost et al. is dependant upon the Danish National Hospital Discharge Register statistics, where only a 50% random samp...
متن کاملIntravenous Methylprednisolone, a Possible Cause of the Atrial Fibrillation

متن کاملProtective 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...
