متن کاملP-pulmonale and new-onset atrial fibrillation.
trial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia encountered in daily clinical practice and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.1 Although the prevalence of AF in Japan is estimated to be approximately two-thirds that in the USA, it is increasing,2 and anticoagulant therapy is mandatory to avoid ischemic stroke and systemic embolization.3 Furthermore, to prevent AF, improved kn...
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...
متن کاملSpontaneous onset of atrial fibrillation.
Most commonly, atrial fibrillation is triggered by rapid bursts of electrical impulses originating in the myocardial sleeves of pulmonary veins (PVs). However, the nature of such bursts remains poorly understood. Here, we propose a mechanism of bursting consistent with the extensive empirical information about the electrophysiology of the PVs. The mechanism is essentially non-local and involves...
متن کاملAssociation between familial atrial fibrillation and risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation.
CONTEXT Although the heritability of atrial fibrillation (AF) is established, the contribution of familial AF to predicting new-onset AF remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine whether familial occurrence of AF is associated with new-onset AF beyond established risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The Framingham Heart Study, a prospective community-based cohort study started in 1...
