The utility of 12-lead Holter monitoring in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation for the identification of nonresponders after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the incidence of ineffective capture using 12-lead Holter monitoring and to assess whether this affects response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy is used in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), prolonged QRS duration, and heart failure in the setting of ventricular dysfunction. The percentage ...
متن کاملOnset mechanism of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation detected by ambulatory Holter monitoring.
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanisms of induction of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) by analysis of its onset recorded on Holter monitoring (HM). METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and seven HM were evaluated in 90 patients (mean age 67.7, cardiac disease in 31.1%), with one or more self-terminating episodes of PAF, lasting >or=30 s. Two hundred and thirty-three episode...
متن کاملAnticoagulation for patients with atrial fibrillation in ambulatory care settings.
BACKGROUND In the context of recently published guidelines, we studied anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation as part of stroke prevention. METHODS The National Center for Health Statistics ambulatory care surveys use a multistage random sampling design consisting of 112 US geographic primary sampling units, nonfederal physician offices and hospital outpatient departments within those units,...
متن کاملCognitive disorders in elderly patients with permanent atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for development of thromboembolic events with an annual stroke rate of 4.5%. In subjects over 80 years AF is the single leading cause of major stroke. Moreover, about 25% of patients with AF in the absence of neurological deficits have tomographic signs of one or more silent cerebral infarcts. AIM To investigate whether cognitive function i...
متن کاملPermanent atrial fibrillation ablation surgery in patients with advanced age
BACKGROUND Even if permanent atrial fibrillation (pAF) is a frequent concomitant problem in patients undergoing open heart surgery and particularly in those with advanced age, data of pAF ablation surgery in older aged patients are scarce. This study was performed to assess early and late results of combined open heart surgery and pAF ablation procedures in patients with advanced aged, compared...
