OBJECTIVE There is a paucity and inconsistency of data regarding the natural history of patients affected by idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) and atrial fibrillation (AF). We examined the prognostic implications of AF in a subset of patients with IDCM. METHODS We analyzed the data of 539 patients with IDCM enrolled in the Heart Muscle Disease Registry of Trieste. RESULTS At baseline...
AIMS Amiodarone is associated with significant adverse effects. We hypothesized that episodic amiodarone treatment would be associated with better quality of life (QoL) compared with continuous treatment in the prevention of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS Quality of life was assessed in 158 patients from the Continuous vs. Episodic Prophylactic Treatment with Amiodaro...
BACKGROUND Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with a poor outcome in patients with sinus rhythm (SR) or atrial fibrillation (AF). However, cut-off points for HRV measures differ between SR and AF. We hypothesized that a global index of 24-hour HRV based on evaluation of scatterplot would describe HRV irrespective of cardiac rhythm. METHODS 407 patients with ischemic heart dise...
While management of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients is improved by guideline-conform application of anticoagulant therapy, rate control, rhythm control, and therapy of accompanying heart disease, the morbidity and mortality associated with AF remain unacceptably high. This paper describes the proceedings of the 3rd Atrial Fibrillation NETwork (AFNET)/European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) c...
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for development of thromboembolic events with an annual stroke rate of 4.5%. In subjects over 80 years AF is the single leading cause of major stroke. Moreover, about 25% of patients with AF in the absence of neurological deficits have tomographic signs of one or more silent cerebral infarcts. AIM To investigate whether cognitive function i...
Background—Intermittent rhythm monitoring (IRM) to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence is employed to evaluate the success of therapeutic interventions. In a large population of patients with continuous monitoring (CM), we investigated the sensitivity of various frequencies and durations of IRM strategies on the detection of AF recurrence, the dynamics behind AF recurrence detection, and...
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of recognition of atrial fibrillation (AF), use of warfarin and prevalence of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in paced versus unpaced patients during admission to a tertiary care teaching hospital. BACKGROUND The presence of AF underlying a continuously paced rhythm may be under recognized and result in a lower rate of anticoagulati...
Introduction: Rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS) increases the risk of both atrial fibrillation (AF) and thromboembolism. Methods: Patients with mitral stenosis and normal sinus rhythm were enrolled in the study prospectively.The present study was designed to study whether echocardiographic evaluation in patients with mitral stenosis and normal sinus rhythm could predict the occurrence of symptoma...
PURPOSE Comparisons of rhythm and rate control strategies for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are still inconclusive. We compared differences in clinical outcomes between the rhythm and rate control strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The COmparison study of Drugs for symptom control and complication prEvention of Atrial Fibrillation (CODE-AF) registry prospectively ...
BACKGROUND Controversy continues concerning the choice of rhythm control vs rate control treatment strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF). A recent clinical trial showed no difference in 5-year mortality between the 2 treatments. We aimed to determine whether the 2 strategies have similar effectiveness when applied to a general population of patients with AF with longer follow-up. METHODS We...
