متن کاملRemodeling Induced by Atrial Fibrillation
trial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias observed in clinical practice. It is well known that paroxysms of AF become longer, that AF becomes refractory to pharmacological rhythm-control treatment, and that the electrical defibrillation threshold is gradually elevated. The most accepted concept explaining these clinical phenomena is so-called remodeling. There is a body of e...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation-associated remodeling does not promote atrial thrombus formation in canine models.
BACKGROUND The most important complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) is thromboembolic stroke. Although AF-related remodeling is considered important in atrial thrombogenesis, its role never has been directly tested. This study assessed effects of AF-related remodeling on the atrial thrombogenic milieu by using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to create a quantifiable prothrombotic nidus. METH...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation: the current epidemic
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia diagnosed in clinical practice. The consequences of AF have been clearly established in multiple large observational cohort studies and include increased stroke and systemic embolism rates if no oral anticoagulation is prescribed, with increased morbidity and mortality. With the worldwide aging of the population characterized by a large inf...
متن کاملCurrent Issues in Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. It places an enormous burden on the patients, caregivers, and the society at large. While the main themes in the care of an AF patient have not changed over the years and continue to focus on stroke prevention, control of the ventricular, rate and rhythm maintenance, there have been a number of new developments in each of...
