Dritan Poçi Atrial Fibrillation - On Its Trigger Mechanisms, Risk and Consequences2010

Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk for mortality and heart failure progression in patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic left ventricular

Because many patients with atrial fibrillation are symptomatic, a large proportion of them are subject to treatment aiming for normal sinus rhythm in order to control symptoms

b:Spending less time with family and friends c:Spending less time with ac- quaintances d:Avoiding planning things e:Impaired physical ability f:Impaired concentration

Right atrial size and left ventricular diastolic function are important variables in the prediction of long-term rhythm outcome in patients undergoing intraoperative ablation

AVJA followed by right ventricular pacing was associated with aggravated HF in a quarter of patients with previously known HF, while development of new symptoms of HF occurred

Patients with previously known paroxysmal AF had a lower mortality rate than patients with new AF at admission or during hospitalization and a higher risk profile at

To estimate the risks of stroke or transient ischemic attack, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality in patients with incident AF as the sole diagnosis at

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and cardiovascular death.. Initial treatment focuses on rhythm or rate
