Transient atrial fibrillation in hypertensive patients with thiazide induced hypokalaemia.
During the previous 34 months, 3 hypertensive patients on long-term thiazide therapy were admitted to the medical department, Mubarak Hospital, Kuwait, with atrial fibrillation (AF) and hypokalaemia. They received potassium chloride by intravenous infusion, followed by oral therapy with reversion to sinus rhythm. There were no clinical, electrocardiographic, radiological, or echocardiographic s...
متن کاملUric acid levels and atrial fibrillation in hypertensive patients.
OBJECTIVE Uric acid (UA) is a cardiovascular risk marker associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Recently, atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. The objective of this observational study was to investigate the association between UA levels and AF in hypertensive patients. METHODS Consecutive patients with hypertension were screened. We...

متن کاملThe Early Stage of the Atrial Electroanatomic Remodeling as Substrates for Atrial Fibrillation in Hypertensive Patients
BACKGROUND Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF). Recent studies suggest right atrial remodeling in hypertensive patients may be associated with increased inducibility of AF. This study sought to characterize the electroanatomic features of left and right atria and pulmonary veins (PVs) in hypertensive patients. METHODS AND RESULTS A prospective o...
متن کاملScreening for atrial fibrillation in primary care.
OBJECTIVE To investigate a population of elderly people for atrial fibrillation and to determine how many of the cases identified might benefit from treatment with anticoagulants. METHODS From a practice of four primary care physicians, 1422 patients aged 65 years and over were identified, of whom 1207 (85% of the total population) underwent electrocardiographic screening to detect the presen...
