متن کاملReducing the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with AF.
Previous stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is the most powerful independent predictor of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), with an annual rate of subsequent stroke of between 6 and 10% per year in the absence of anticoagulation. The time interval from the most recent stroke or TIA is inversely related to stroke rate, but previous stroke or TIA occurring in the past 1–3 ...
متن کاملKorean Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Network: Genetic Variants for AF Do Not Predict Ablation Success
BACKGROUND Genomewide association studies have identified several loci associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and have been reportedly associated with response to catheter ablation for AF in patients of European ancestry; however, associations between top susceptibility loci and AF recurrence after ablation have not been examined in Asian populations. We examined whether the top single nucleo...
متن کاملCardiovascular Risk Factors and AF Incidence
METHODS: We assessed trajectories of CVRF in 2456 individuals with incident AF and 6414 matched control subjects. Subsequently, we determined the association of CVRF trajectories with the incidence of AF among 10 559 AF-free individuals (mean age, 67 years; 52% men; 20% blacks). Risk factors were measured during 5 examinations between 1987 and 2013. Cardiovascular events, including incident AF,...
متن کاملHot Potatoes in AF
Western society is at the brink of an atrial fibrillation (AF) explosion. Already AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia worldwide; in the US alone the estimated prevalence in 2010 was between 2.7 to 6.1 million, and this is expected to rise to between 5.6 and 12 million by 2050 [1]. The source of this increase is multifactorial and our current ability to manage the condition is often subop...
