Inflammation as a risk factor for atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND The presence of systemic inflammation determined by elevations in C-reactive protein (CRP) has been associated with persistence of atrial fibrillation (AF). The relationship between CRP and prediction of AF has not been studied in a large population-based cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS CRP measurement and cardiovascular assessment were performed at baseline in 5806 subjects enrolled i...
متن کاملNon-Rheumatic Atrial Fibrillation as a Risk Factor for Stroke
The association between non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke has been studied in 402 patients consecutively admitted to a stroke unit. Brain infarction patients with sinus rhythm (n = 196) and non-rheumatic AF (n = 92) were further compared. Some findings supported an embolic origin of the stroke: half of the deceased AF patients (n = 24) at autopsy either had left atrial thrombosi...
متن کاملIs atrial fibrillation a risk factor for normal-tension glaucoma?
Glaucoma (GL) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are diseases of significant social importance. Cardiovascular disorders such as systemic hypertension, hypotension, increased blood viscosity, vasospasm, and diabetes are potential risk factors of GL, especially when intraocular pressure is not elevated. Only a few studies have reported a possible connection between cardiac arrhythmias and GL. The purp...

متن کاملPostprandial Glucose: Marker or Risk Factor?
Postprandial glucose (PPG) has a noxious effecton thevascular endothelium, which is mainly mediated by oxidative stress. This condition leads to endothelial activation and dysfunction, two prerequisites for the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (1). The importance of PPG is reflected in the creation of guidelines by the InternationalDiabetes Federation (IDF) for the management of postmeal g...
