Hot Potatoes in AF

چکیده
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 suboptimal. With this in mind we present this dozen of current “hot potatoes” in AF from epidemiology through management to, dare we say it foremost given our current economic climate, the cost implications of our management decisions.

Current Hot Potatoes in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has evolved to the treatment of choice for patients with drug-resistant and symptomatic AF. Pulmonary vein isolation at the ostial or antral level usually is sufficient for treatment of true paroxysmal AF. For persistent AF ablation, drivers and perpetuators outside of the pulmonary veins are responsible for AF maintenance and have to be targeted to achieve sat...

Anoxybacillus thermarum AF/04(T) was isolated from the Euganean hot springs in Abano Terme, Italy. The present work reports a high-quality draft genome sequence of strain AF/04(T). This work also provides useful insights into glycoside hydrolases, glycoside transferases, and sugar transporters that may be involved in cellular carbohydrate metabolism.
متن کاملPotato Wilt and Its Control
A four-year rotation is desirable for potatoes. Proper rotation of crops is one necessary practice for avoiding the holding over of potato diseases in the soil. For potato wilt control at least a four-year rotation should be used. The one shown here makes use of corn, grain, clover, and potatoes. The best basic crop rotation for Western Oregon is grain, clover seed, clover hay, and a cultivated...
متن کاملFlying Hot Potatoes
Optical communication networks and air traffic management systems share the same fundamental routing problem as both optical packets and aircraft must continuously move within the network, while avoiding conflicts. In this paper, we explore the use of hot potato and deflection routing algorithms, which are established routing methods in optical communication networks, in the conflict-free routi...
