Renal Function in Atrial Fibrillation

Cardiac function and renal function gradually decrease with aging. Therefore, atrial fibrillation, as an expression of myocardial dysfunction, and conditions with reduced renal filtration of endogenous and exogenous substances often coexist. Both cardiac dysfunction and renal dysfunction are associated with increased risk of thromboembolism, which is further amplified by concurrent atrial fibri...

Protective effects of simvastatin on atrioventricular node during simulated experimental atrial fibrillation in vitro

Introduction: Recent evidence has indicated that statins can reduce the incidence of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias with various mechanisms. The primary goal of the present study was to determine direct protective role of simvastatin in modifying concealed conduction and the zone of concealment in a simulated model of atrial fibrillation (AF) in an isolated atrioventricula...

Atrial and ventricular function after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.

OBJECTIVE Previous studies on atrial recovery after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation have not taken into account new knowledge about the pathophysiology of transmitral and transtricuspid flow velocity patterns. It is possible to shed further light on this problem if atrioventricular inflow velocity, venous filling pattern, and atrioventricular annulus motion are recorded and interpreted tog...
