Atrial fibrillation and Brugada syndrome.
Brugada syndrome is characterized by right bundle branch block pattern with ST-segment elevation in leads V(1) to V(3) and a propensity for sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias. The arrhythmogenic substrate in Brugada syndrome may not be restricted to the ventricles, and atrial arrhythmias are being increasingly reported. Incidences of spontaneous atrial arrhythmias vary from 6% ...
متن کاملMetabolic syndrome and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice, and the lifetime risk of developing AF is 25%. Even in the absence of structural heart disease AF is extremely common and is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and death. Risk factors for AF are age, sleep apnoea, valvular heart disease, hypertension, obesity, male gender, and type 2 diabe...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation and atrial vulnerability in patients with Brugada syndrome.
OBJECTIVES We sought to study atrial vulnerability in patients with Brugada syndrome. BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) often occurs in patients with Brugada syndrome, but atrial vulnerability in Brugada syndrome has not been evaluated. METHODS The patient group consisted of 18 patients with Brugada syndrome. The control group consisted of 12 age- and gender-matched subjects who had neith...
متن کاملOgilvie's Syndrome following Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation
Acute colonic pseudoobstruction, also known as Ogilvie's syndrome, is characterized by distension of the colon in the absence of a mechanical obstruction as evident by abdominal radiography. This syndrome is usually treated conservatively; however, medical or surgical therapies can be employed in refractory cases. Ogilvie's syndrome has been reported following cardiac events, such as myocardial...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Susceptibility in Metabolic Syndrome
In this issue of Circulation, Watanabe et al1 demonstrate an apparent correlation between the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and increased susceptibility to atrial fibrillation (AF) in a relatively large ( 28 000 subjects) communitybased cohort in Japan. The study’s strength, apart from the size of the population, lies in its prospective assessment of free-living individuals without eviden...
