Real-practice thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation.
This retrospective observational study was based on databases of the Local Health Authority of Treviso, Italy. It evaluated the prevalence and the effectiveness of oral anticoagulation treatment (OAT) for the management of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) in everyday clinical practice. Out of 6,138 NVAF patients, only 3,024 received vitamin K antagonist (VKA). Potential barriers decreasin...
متن کاملThromboprophylaxis in octogenarians with atrial fibrillation
Background: atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest chronic arrhythmia with a prevalence of 9% in octogenarians and accounts for 24% of the stroke risk in this population. Although trials demonstrate reductions in stroke with warfarin, audit data show that it is still underused. However, anti-coagulation in the very elderly is not without risk. Methods: randomised open labelled prospective st...
متن کاملParoxysmal atrial fibrillation, stroke risk and thromboprophylaxis.
Thromb Haemost 2008; 100: 11–13 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest sustained cardiac rhythm disorder, which has particularly attracted much clinical and research interest from the mortality and morbidity associated with stroke and thromboembolism. The more chronic presentations of AF have clinical subtypes based on the temporal pattern of the arrhythmia – AF is considered recurrent when ...
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...
متن کاملProtective effects of simvastatin on atrioventricular node during simulated experimental atrial fibrillation in vitro
Introduction: Recent evidence has indicated that statins can reduce the incidence of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias with various mechanisms. The primary goal of the present study was to determine direct protective role of simvastatin in modifying concealed conduction and the zone of concealment in a simulated model of atrial fibrillation (AF) in an isolated atrioventricula...
