Independent Effect of Digoxin in Preventing Atrial Fibrillation in High Risk Patients after CABG Surgery
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. AF can result in hemodynamic instability, thromboembolic events, increase the perioperative myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, stroke, more length of hospital stay (LOHS) and cost of treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the independent effect of...
متن کاملInflammation as a risk factor for atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND The presence of systemic inflammation determined by elevations in C-reactive protein (CRP) has been associated with persistence of atrial fibrillation (AF). The relationship between CRP and prediction of AF has not been studied in a large population-based cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS CRP measurement and cardiovascular assessment were performed at baseline in 5806 subjects enrolled i...
متن کاملNon-Rheumatic Atrial Fibrillation as a Risk Factor for Stroke
The association between non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke has been studied in 402 patients consecutively admitted to a stroke unit. Brain infarction patients with sinus rhythm (n = 196) and non-rheumatic AF (n = 92) were further compared. Some findings supported an embolic origin of the stroke: half of the deceased AF patients (n = 24) at autopsy either had left atrial thrombosi...
متن کاملIs atrial fibrillation a risk factor for normal-tension glaucoma?
Glaucoma (GL) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are diseases of significant social importance. Cardiovascular disorders such as systemic hypertension, hypotension, increased blood viscosity, vasospasm, and diabetes are potential risk factors of GL, especially when intraocular pressure is not elevated. Only a few studies have reported a possible connection between cardiac arrhythmias and GL. The purp...
متن کاملPreoperative Arrhythmias Such as Atrial Fibrillation: Cardiovascular Surgery Risk Factor
Atrial fibrillation is still the most common arrhythmia that occurs in heart surgery. However, there is few literature data on the manner in which preoperative atrial fibrillation may influence the postoperative outcome of various heart surgery procedures. The purpose of our research is to assess the effects of preoperative atrial fibrillation on patients having undergone different heart surger...
