Osteoprotegerin and TRAIL in Acute Onset of Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND There is a growing amount of evidence that inflammatory processes are involved in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its complications. We decided to investigate the behavior of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) in terms of acute onset of AF. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 60 patients with acute onset of AF, candidates for pharmac...
متن کاملOsteoprotegerin, trail and osteoprotegerin/trail ratio in patients at early phase of acute pancreatitis.
AIM Our aim was to determine serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) in patients with mild and moderate to severe acute pancreatitis (AP) in the early phase of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 40 patients with AP (16 women, 24 men) admitted to Ist Department of Surgery, Jagiellonian Univ...
متن کاملClinical Spectrum of Acute or New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation.
Permanent AF • The term “permanent AF”is used when the patient and clinician make a joint decision to stop further attempts to restore and/or maintain sinus rhythm. • Acceptance of AF represents a therapeutic attitude on the part of the patient and clinician rather than an inherent pathophysiological attribute of AF. • Acceptance of AF may change as symptoms, efficacy of therapeutic interventio...
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 کاملClinical Significance of P Wave Dispersion in Prediction of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: P wave dispersion (PWD) is defined as the difference between the maximum P wave duration (Pmax) and the minimum P wave duration (Pmin) in 12-leads of the surface electrocardiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the values of PWD during atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: We prospectively evaluated atrial rhythms of 350 patients (251 m...
