Atrial fibrillation--a marker for abnormal left ventricular function in coronary heart disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Retrospective study of 1176 patients with known coronary heart disease by cardiac catheterisation disclosed 10 patients (0.8%) with atrial fibrillation. Comparison with 25 randomly selected patients with coronary heart disease with sinus rhythm showed that atrial fibrillation correlated significantly with impaired haemodynamic function, mitral regurgitation, and abnormalities of left ventricular contraction. Atrial fibrillation is, therefore, a useful marker of extensive myocardial dysfunction.

Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Its Risk Factors in Shiraz, Iran during 2017-18
Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common disorientations after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and can affect the chance of survival in the first year after surgery. The present study aimed to determine the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and its risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on...

Abstract Background and Purpose: Epicardial fat is the true visceral fat located around the heart, particularly around sub-epicardial coronary arteries that may locally interact and modulate the coronary arteries and myocardium through paracrine or vasocrine secretion of anti-inflammatory and proatherogenic cytokines. Most previous studies have used echocardiography and reported controversia...

متن کاملComparison of contrast medium and atrial pacing as tests of ventricular function in coronary artery disease.
Ventricular function curves were constructed in 39 patients having coronary arteriography by plotting left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and stroke work index before, during, and immediately after atrial pacing. Similar curves were constructed from measurements obtained before and 3 minutes after a standard left ventricular angiogram. Both methods vary preload sufficiently to produce detec...

Postoperative rhythm disorders are a serious complication of coronary surgery and they are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Atrial fibrillation is the most common complication after cardiac surgery, with an incidence of 30% after coronary artery bypass grafting (Camm et al.,2010). There are few data about the etiology of atrial fibrillation in this setting, factors such as int...
