Prognostic significance of atrial fibrillation in dilated cardiomyopathy.
We evaluated the relation of atrial rhythm to a clinical course of treatment in 147 patients diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Thirty-six of the patients (24%) had either transient (9 patients) or persistent (27 patients) atrial fibrillation (AF). Compared with DCM patients with sinus rhythm (SR), the AF patients did not differ in age, left ventricular (LV) dimension, fractional shor...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of midwall fibrosis in dilated cardiomyopathy
Methods Consecutive patients with DCM referred for CMR between 2002-2008 were prospectively enrolled. The diagnosis of DCM was made using clinical, CMR and coronary angiographic findings. Patients with ischemic heart disease, primary valvar disease and infiltrative CM were excluded. LGE-CMR at 1.5T (Siemens Sonata or Avanto, Germany) was performed in 2 phase-encoding directions. The presence of...
متن کاملClinical profile and prognostic significance of atrial fibrillation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES The clinical outcomes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are largely unpredictable. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and its prognostic implications in Chinese patients with HCM. METHODS From 1999 to 2011, 654 unrelated HCM patients were consecutively recruited at Fuwai Hospital. Medical history, including electrocardiographic and ...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of Atrial Fibrillation in Advanced Heart Failure
Background. Atrial fibrillation is common in advanced heart failure, but its prognostic significance is controversial. Methods and Results. We evaluated the relation of atrial rhythm to overall survival and sudden death in 390 consecutive advanced heart failure patients. Etiology of heart failure was coronary artery disease in 177 patients (45%) and nonischemic cardiomyopathy or valvular heart ...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of incident atrial fibrillation following STEMI depends on the timing of atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with short-term mortality after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but there is limited data on the temporal association between AF and mortality after STEMI. A total of 830 patients were included (age: 62 ± 12 years, 76 % male). Patients with new-onset AF < 30 days after STEMI were divided among three subgroups: AF on the day of admission, AF 24-...
