Echocardiographic findings in atrial flutter.
Echocardiographic studies were performed in 22 patients with atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. In atrial flutter, the echocardiograms consistently demonstrated regular undulatory waves of the posterior left atrial wall and upper left interventricular septum coinciding with each flutter wave of the electrocardiogram. The mitral valve was slightly reopened by each flutter wave occurring aft...
متن کاملEchocardiographic predictors of atrial fibrillation after mitral valve replacement
Objectives Detection of the echocardiographic predictors of post-operative atrial fibrillation in patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease undergoing mitral valve replacement. Methods The study included 50 patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease undergoing mitral valve replacement. Preoperative assessment included standard two-dimensional echocardiography to assess LA diameter, volum...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation in aortic stenosis - echocardiographic assessment and prognostic importance
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AFib) exists more frequently in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) than in patients without, and AFib may be a sign of progressive deterioration of AS. Echocardiographic assessment of AS in sinus rhythm is well documented, however, little is known about AFib in AS since such patients often are excluded from clinical echocardiographic trials. AIM The purpose of ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic predictors of nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation. The Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Although structural heart disease is often present in patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation, the echocardiographic precursors of atrial fibrillation have not been reported previously. In this elderly, population-based cohort, our objective was to examine prospectively the echocardiographic predictors of nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation. METHODS AND RESULTS Subjects in the ...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Ablation in Systolic Dysfunction: Clinical and Echocardiographic Outcomes
BACKGROUND Heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist in a deleterious cycle. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of patients with ventricular systolic dysfunction and AF treated with radiofrequency (RF) ablation. METHODS Patients with ventricular systolic dysfunction [ejection fraction (EF) <50%] and AF refractory to drug therapy underwent stepwi...
