چکیده
Association of AmiodaroneUseWith Acute Pancreatitis in PatientsWith Atrial Fibrillation: ANested Case-Control Study Amiodarone hydrochloride is an antiarrhythmic drug frequently used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Isolated reports1-3 have suggested that use of amiodarone may cause acute pancreatitis. To our knowledge, this potential adverseeffectof amiodaronehasnotbeenexplored in large studies. We assessed whether use of amiodarone or other antiarrhythmic drugs indicated for AF management is associated with developing acute pancreatitis in a large US population.

Background: P wave dispersion (PWD) is defined as the difference between the maximum P wave duration (Pmax) and the minimum P wave duration (Pmin) in 12-leads of the surface electrocardiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the values of PWD during atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: We prospectively evaluated atrial rhythms of 350 patients (251 m...

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmias that cardiologists and internists encounter. The goal of this article is to clarify an overview of the evidence linking inflammation to AF existence, which may highlight the effect of some pharmacological agents that have genuine potential to reduce the clinical burden of AF by modulating inflammatory pathways. Mat...
