Canine model of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia.
Both autonomic nerve activity and electrical remodeling are important in atrial arrhythmogenesis. Therefore, dogs with sympathetic hyperinnervation, myocardial infarction (MI), and complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) may have a high incidence of atrial arrhythmias. We studied eight dogs (experimental group) with MI, CAVB, and sympathetic hyperinnervation induced either by nerve growth factor...
متن کاملPolyuria in Paroxysmal Tachycardia and Paroxysmal Atrial Flutter and Fibrillation.
When Paul Wood spoke about this to the British Cardiac Society in 1961, we were impressed by the originality of his work on a subject that so many had noticed but failed to investigate. A few months before his death in July 1962, when I asked him if his paper was ready for the journal, he said that he had not yet been able to get all the evidence he hoped for to establish the full explanation. ...
متن کاملAblation of Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. Its maintenance is thought to be due to multiple wavelets reentry occurring in both atria [1]. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of cryoablation to create lesions in both atria [2] and on the posterior wall of the left atrium [3], connecting the four pulmonary veins and the mitral annulu...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
It is clear that the global burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its associated economic footprint in terms of healthcare utilization is rising exponentially. Cumulative evidence suggests that catheter ablation is superior to antiarrhythmic drugs in the management of paroxysmal and persistent AF in terms of improved quality of life, AF-free survival, and AF burden. It is hoped that catheter a...
متن کاملSuppression of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation by Pacing
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) affects approximately five million people worldwide. The incidence of AF increases with aging and more common in males.1 Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiogenic cause of stroke and exacerbates heart failure. Despite the prevalence of AF, it is still one of the most difficult arrhythmia to treat.2 The management option of AF ranges from pharmacological therapy...
