Atrial Fibrillation Progression: New Insight in TheNatural History of This Arrhythmia.
نویسنده
چکیده
our approach to the management of atrial fibrillation (AF).1 This can largely be attributed to the advent of catheter ablation therapy which has proven to be significantly more efficacious in achieving arrhythmia control than antiarrhythmic drugs.2-4 However, despite these developments, there is paucity of data on the natural history of this arrhythmia and studies that have been conducted so far to evaluate this aspect of AF behavior, are mostly retrospective.5-7 Thus, there is a growing need to assess AF progression on a prospective basis.

Background: Psoriasis is a prevalent chronic T cell mediated inflammatory skin disorder. Recent studies have reported an increase in the incidence of arrhythmia in psoriasis patients who run an excessive risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. P-wave dispersion (PWD) and duration are important electrocardiographic (ECG) markers employed to anticipate the risk of atrial arrhythmi...

Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia after cardiac surgery. Vitamin C as an antioxidant has an important role in reducing the incidence of postop-erative atrial fibrillation. The present study aimed at administrating vitamin C as a way to reduce the incidence of post-CABG atrial fibrillation. Methods: In this double-blind, parallel clinical trial, 170 patients with cor...

Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common but benign arrhythmia following cardiac surgery. Although this arrhythmia is often self-limited and vanishes in about 24 hours upon surgery a number of arrhythmias might ensue among which some might be really life-threatening. A multitude of therapeutic modalities have been proposed for the prevention of this arrhythmia and one of them is poste...
