Background Atrial fibrillation is increasingly prevalent as the US population ages and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Care for patients with atrial fibrillation can be costly, US health care costs are comparatively high, and there are few cost estimates available that incorporate detailed measurement of comorbidities and their effects on costs. Methods and Results In ...
OBJECTIVES This study was performed to determine the incidence of symptomatic, sustained atrial fibrillation in a group of patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The effects of the mechanism of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (atrioventricular [AV] node reentry vs. AV reentry through an accessory pathway) and heart rate during the tachycardia on the occurrence of atrial ...
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is a large and growing burden across all types of healthcare. Both incidence and prevalence are expected to double in the next 20 years, with huge impact on hospital admissions, costs and patient quality of life. Patient wellbeing determines the management strategy for atrial fibrillation, including the use of rhythm control therapy and the clinical success of hea...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Ectopic activity originating inside the pulmonary veins has been associated with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in some patients. However, the roles played by the pulmonary veins and the posterior wall of the left atrium in maintaining atrial fibrillation are not well understood. METHODS Our aim was to determine whether there is a correlation between the refractory...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Contemporary atrial pacemakers incorporate pacing modes for treating atrial arrhythmias. Because atrial fibrillation in the right atrium can exhibit an organized pattern, it can be difficult to differentiate from atrial flutter. We assessed criteria for discriminating between atrial flutter and organized atrial fibrillation when using a bipolar electrode in the right...
INTRODUCTION Atrial fibrillation was previously reported in patients with esophageal cancer as a complication of total esophagectomy or photodynamic therapy. Here, we propose that atrial fibrillation may also be caused by external compression of the left atrium by esophageal cancer. CASE PRESENTATION We present a 58-year-old man who developed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate in...
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia frequently seen in surgical patients. The onset of new atrial fibrillation during the peri-operative period is less common. There are many possible precipitating factors, although volatile agents themselves may have an antifibrillatory action. The management of atrial fibrillation includes removal of any precipitating factors and treatment of the arrhy...
this paper aims to propose an effective paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (paf) predictor which is based on the analysis of the heart rate variability (hrv) signal. predicting the onset of paf, based on non-invasive techniques, is clinically important and can be invaluable in order to avoid useless therapeutic intervention and to minimize the risks for the patients. this method consists of four st...
MOST DATA on atrial fibrillation are from populations with heart disease.1 2 The opportunity to evaluate its etiology, significance, and prognosis in a relatively healthy population is rare. This report of 60 cases of atrial fibrillation from the United States Air Force flying population presents the factors related to the onset of atrial fibrillation, the available follow-up information, and t...
Chronic heart failure and atrial fibrillation often occur together. The aim of the study is to review the available literature on the impact of atrial fibrillation on mortality in patients with heart failure. Using MEDLINE six full papers were identified. In the studies with severe heart failure atrial fibrillation did not emerge as an independent predictor of mortality beyond standard clinical...
