Role of atrial remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) maintenance is promoted by an atrial substrate that is suitable for the initiation and continuation of the re-entering wavelets. During the first week of AF, the atrial substrate is modified by electrical remodeling, with shortening of the atrial refractoriness and slowing of the conduction velocity. Structural remodeling is the so-called "second factor" that facilitate...
متن کاملAtrial extracellular matrix remodeling and the maintenance of atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Remodeling occurs in both ventricle and atrium in dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. However, the alteration of atrial extracellular matrix components during remodeling and its effect on the electrical remodeling and atrial arrhythmia have never been explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Atrial tissue samples of 53 explanted hearts from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and end-s...
متن کاملAssociation of Serum Omentin-1 Concentrations with the Presence of Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND Omentin-1 is one of the adipokines associated with obesity, diabetes, and coronary heart disease development. We determined to investigate whether serum omentin-1 concentrations were correlated with the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF). MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum omentin-1 concentrations were examined in a cross-sectional population that included 220 patients with AF (70 with par...
متن کاملThe role of atrial remodeling for ablation of atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes electrical, contractile, and structural remodeling of the atria. We investigated remodeling in patients undergoing AF ablation. METHODS Concomitant ablation of permanent AF, lasting 1 to 240 months, was performed in 73 patients (49.3% men) with a mean age of 66 +/- 9.1 years undergoing mitral valve operations. Electrical (AF cycle length from surface...
متن کاملIntravenous Methylprednisolone, a Possible Cause of the Atrial Fibrillation
We are presenting a case illustrating atrial fibrillation (AF) following the use of methylprednisolone in a patient with pelvic and femur fracture. A 48- year- old man with no significant past medical history, was admitted to the emergency department after injury in a car accident. He suffered a multiple bone fracture with chief complaints of pain and shortness of breath. He was transfer...
