Heart rate variability and early recurrence of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion.
OBJECTIVES The study evaluated the role of the autonomic nervous system in atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. BACKGROUND Early recurrence of AF after cardioversion (CV) is attributed to electrical remodeling. The possibility that an abnormal autonomic modulation might contribute to this phenomenon has not yet been adequately tested. METHODS We analyzed short-term heart rate variability (H...
متن کاملNoninvasive Predictors of Atrial Fibrillation Early Recurrence After Electrical Cardioversion and their Link to Atrial Remodeling
Several clinical factors have been studied to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after electrical cardioversion (ECV) with limited predictive value. In this work, several time-frequency parameters from the fibrillatory (f) waves characterization were studied to improve ECV outcome prediction at mid follow-up. By analyzing ECV outcome one month after the procedure of 63 persistent AF pa...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Cycle Length and Atrial Size in Horses with and without Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation after Electrical Cardioversion
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) cycle length (CL) and atrial size have been used in humans to characterize electrical and structural remodeling to predict outcome of cardioversion of AF and risk for AF recurrence (rAF). HYPOTHESIS Atrial fibrillation cycle length can be determined in horses with AF, and AFCL and atrial size are related to risk for rAF. ANIMALS Eighteen horses with natur...
متن کاملC reactive protein concentration and recurrence of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion.
BACKGROUND To test the hypothesis that a high C reactive protein (CRP) concentration would predict recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardioversion in patients taking antiarrhythmic drugs. METHODS 111 patients who underwent direct current cardioversion for symptomatic AF were enrolled. Blood was drawn for CRP determination before cardioversion on the same day. All patients were taki...
متن کامل[Relationship between C-reactive protein level and early recurrence of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Atrial remodeling is responsible for the early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardioversion. Recently, it has been shown that the C-reactive protein (CRP) level is elevated in patients with AF, indicating that inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis of this arrhythmia. We postulated that a high CRP level would predict early recurrence of AF aft...
