Left ventricular torsional parameters before and after atrial fibrillation ablation: a velocity vector imaging study
BACKGROUND AND AIM Effects of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its ablative treatment on LV torsion have not yet been fully investigated. This study aimed to examine whether AF patterns of LV contraction and its ablative correction can exert a significant impact on LV torsion by velocity vector imaging (VVI). METHODS This case-control study conducted in Rajaie Cardiovascular, Medical and Research...
متن کاملLeft atrial volume measurements before and after left atrial ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
Background Recent studies have demonstrated the usefulness of CMR imaging in the management of patients with cardiac arrhythmia. CMR imaging allows for more accurate measurement of various cardiac dimensions. Significant changes in LA volumes have previously been documented in patients who have undergone ablation therapy. However, these studies have relied on simple two dimensional measurement ...

متن کاملOral anticoagulants before and after ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Oral anticoagulation with warfarin is a cornerstone in the prevention of systemic thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. It reduces the risk of stroke by 67% compared with no antithrombotic therapy and by 36% compared with aspirin. The downside of anticoagulation is increased risk of major bleeding which amounts to 1% per year. Therefore, careful selection of patients for oral an...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation improves cardiac function: a prospective study on the impact of atrial fibrillation ablation on left ventricular function assessed by magnetic resonance imaging.
AIMS Beneficial effects of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have been demonstrated in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and significantly impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the impact of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) on cardiac function in patients with paroxysmal AF and impaired LVEF remains under discussion. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of PVI...
