متن کاملAtrial fibrillation: a historical perspective.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has undoubtedly become one of the most well-studied arrhythmias today in terms of pathophysiology and diagnostic and therapeutic (interventional) electrophysiology. Although it lends itself to an apparently easy diagnosis on the surface electrocardiography, myriad electromechanical mechanisms underlie its origin. We have now reached an era of technology that makes AF no...
متن کاملEpidemiology of atrial fibrillation: European perspective
In the last 20 years, atrial fibrillation (AF) has become one of the most important public health problems and a significant cause of increasing health care costs in western countries. The prevalence of AF is increasing due to our greater ability to treat chronic cardiac and noncardiac diseases, and the improved ability to suspect and diagnose AF. At the present time, the prevalence of AF (2%) ...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation - An Indian Perspective.
on the worldwide epidemiology of AF gives important insights into the changing trends in the incidence, prevalence and gender re lat ion of AF. 3 In 1990 the estimated prevalence rates for men and women for every 1,00,000 population was 569.5 and 359.9 respectively while the estimated incidence rates were 60.7 and 43.8. Over a span of two decades, there was a steady but modest increase in the p...
