Beneficial effects of statin therapy for prevention of atrial fibrillation following DDDR pacemaker implantation.
AIMS Data suggest that atrial pacing, statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blocking drugs prevent atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation (AT/AF) in some patients. The clinical predictors of at/af recurrence following dual-chamber pacemaker insertion were examined in 185 consecutive patients with paroxysmal AF. METHODS AND RESULTS Predictors of AT/AF recur...
متن کاملIncidence and significance of early recurrences of atrial fibrillation after cryoballoon ablation: insights from the multicenter Sustained Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (STOP AF) Trial.
BACKGROUND Early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (ERAF) is common after radiofrequency catheter ablation for AF. We sought to determine the incidence and prognostic significance of ERAF after cryoballoon ablation. Moreover, the benefit of early reablation for ERAF after cryoballoon ablation is undetermined. METHODS AND RESULTS The Sustained Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (STOP ...
متن کاملLong-term effects of simvastatin on protection against atrial fibrillation in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Objective To investigate the impact of simvastatin on blood lipid and the incidence of atrial fibrillation and ischemic-related events in patients with acute myocardial infarction accompanied by paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Methods One hundred and three patients with acute myocardial infarction and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were selected as subjects, and were divided into a simvastatin ...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up after catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: the incidence of recurrence and progression of atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Although catheter ablation (CA) is a standard treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), its long-term efficacy remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the incidences of AF recurrence and of progression from paroxysmal to persistent AF, after CA, in patients with paroxysmal AF. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the incidence of AF recurrence and AF progression in 1220 consecutive...
متن کاملPacing therapy for atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common occurring clinical arrhythmia, often resulting in cerebral embolism and a deterioration of hemodynamics. According to the Framingham study, the incidence of atrial fibrillation is 0.5% in the fifties age group and rapidly increases to 8.8% in association with aging in people in their eighties .Many therapeutic methods have been proposed for atrial fibrilla...
