Hypercoagulability and haemodynamic abnormalities in atrial fibrillation.
Non-valvar atrial fibrillation confers a substantial risk for stroke and thromboembolism which is estimated to be between 4-5% and 12% per year depending on associated risk factors.'2 Recent studies have established the value of warfarin as thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation; however, this treatment carries with it the inconvenience of regular monitoring of anticoagulation intensity and ...
متن کاملA two-way road.
In 1991, Luka and ten of his comrades were captured near Knin, a Croatian town held by rebel Serbs and the Yugoslav Federal Army. Luka spent a few months in the Knin jail. The first days he was left without food or water. He kept refusing to submit himself to the guards, so they would often take him to the top floor and beat him until he would pass out. After-wards, they would drag him down, hi...
متن کاملIntravenous Methylprednisolone, a Possible Cause of the Atrial Fibrillation
We are presenting a case illustrating atrial fibrillation (AF) following the use of methylprednisolone in a patient with pelvic and femur fracture. A 48- year- old man with no significant past medical history, was admitted to the emergency department after injury in a car accident. He suffered a multiple bone fracture with chief complaints of pain and shortness of breath. He was transfer...
متن کاملNovel Dielectric Coagulometer Identifies Hypercoagulability in Patients with a High CHADS2 Score without Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND Recent reports showed that the CHADS2 score predicted the risk of strokes in patients without atrial fibrillation (AF). Although the hypercoagulability may contribute to the thrombogenesis, it has not been fully investigated due to a lack of a sensitive evaluation modality. Recently a novel dielectric blood coagulometry (DBCM) was invented for evaluating the coagulability by measurin...
متن کاملThoracic aortic plaque enhances hypercoagulability in patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are at risk for thromboembolism, and coexistent cardiovascular diseases could affect their prothrombotic profiles. The relationship between plasma hemostatic markers and aortic atherosclerosis was determined in patients with AF or in sinus rhythm (SR). METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty patients with nonrheumatic AF and 46 patients in SR who underwent ...
