Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened an expert panel April 28 to 29, 2008, to identify gaps and recommend research strategies to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF). The panel reviewed the existing basic scientific, epidemiological, and clinical literature about AF and identified opportunities to advance AF prevention research. After discussion, the panel proposed the following r...
متن کاملPrevention of Atrial Fibrillation:
The article by Betts et al.1 in this issue of the Journal reports detailed high-density mapping of left atrial (LA) endocardial activation by a noncontact system performed during sinus rhythm and coronary sinus (CS) pacing in nine patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). They accurately describe areas of block in the posterior LA wall in close proximity to the pulmonary veins (PVs) du...
متن کاملDocosahexaenoic acid, but not eicosapentaenoic acid, supplementation reduces vulnerability to atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND The potential health benefits of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) usually are studied using a combination of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This combination reduces vulnerability to experimentally induced atrial fibrillation (AF). It is unknown whether EPA and DHA have differential effects when taken alone. Using a model of pacing-induced atrial he...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation 1 Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is found in a third of all ischaemic strokes, even more after post-stroke atrial fibrillation monitoring. Data from stroke registries show that both unknown and untreated or under treated atrial fibrillation is responsible for most of these strokes, which are often fatal or debilitating. Most could be prevented if efforts were directed towards detection of atrial fibrillatio...
متن کاملEicosapentaenoic acid prevents atrial fibrillation associated with heart failure in a rabbit model.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with morbidity and mortality of heart failure. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is contained in fish oil, was shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the effects of EPA on AF associated with heart failure in a rabbit model. Rabbits were subjected to ventricular tachypacing (VTP) for 4 wk with or without EPA treatment. Continu...
