چکیده

Response to Letter Regarding Article, “Prognostications of Fibrillations” We thank Dr Sanna et al for their interest in our review. The sentence to which they refer should have indeed read, “Cryptogenic Stroke and Underlying Atrial Fibrillation (CRYSTAL AF) followed a small number of patients out to 3 years; the rate of atrial fibrillation was 30% in those with the implanted cardiac monitor and 3% in those who had routine monitoring.” We apologize for the error and appreciate the contributions that the CRYSTAL AF study has given to the understanding of atrial fibrillation after stroke.

Accuracy of neurovascular fellows' prognostication of outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy and optimal timing of physician prognostication in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, a prototypical neurological disease characterized by variable outcomes and frequent disability. METHODS From October 2009 to April 2010, treating neurologists at a tertiary care academic medical center made daily predictions o...

Partial Block by Riluzole of Muscle Sodium Channels in Myotubes from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients

Denervated muscles undergo fibrillations due to spontaneous activation of voltage-gated sodium (Na(+)) channels generating action potentials. Fibrillations also occur in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Riluzole, the only approved drug for ALS treatment, blocks voltage-gated Na(+) channels, but its effects on muscle Na(+) channels and fibrillations are yet poorly characterized...

Hypokalemia-induced ultrastructural, histochemical and connexin-43 alterations resulting in atrial and ventricular fibrillations.

Perfusion of the isolated guinea pig heart with hypokalemic solution provide simple model for examination of the molecular mechanisms involved in the incidence of atrial and/or ventricular fibrillations. The results point out that dispersion of the metabolic and subcellular alterations and heterogenously impaired intercellular coupling might account for electrical disturbances and desynchroniza...

A genotype-dependent intermediate ECG phenotype in patients with persistent lone atrial fibrillation genotype ECG-phenotype correlation in atrial fibrillation.

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is heterogeneous at the clinical and molecular levels. Association studies have reported that common single-nucleotide polymorphisms in KCNE1 and SCN5A may predispose to AF. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that specific AF-associated genotypes confer variation on the appearance of AF assessed by analysis of fibrillatory rate of the atria. METHODS AN...
