Atrial Myopathy Underlying Atrial Fibrillation
Author(s): Harold Rivner , Raul D Mitrani , Jeffrey J Goldberger Added: 3 years ago
AF is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance.1 Worldwide, there is an estimated 33.5 million people with AF as of 2010.2 While there are multiple estimates, the yearly incidence in the US is expected to grow, for example, from 1.2 million cases in 2010 to 2.6 million cases in 2030 and upwards of 6–12 million cases by 2050.1,3 It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality4… View more

Atrial Tachycardias After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: How to Manage?
Author(s): Yuan Hung , Shih-Lin Chang , Wei-Shiang Lin , et al Added: 3 years ago
AF is the most common clinical arrhythmia that causes severe adverse cardiovascular events, such as ischaemic stroke and acute heart failure.1 Triggers from the pulmonary vein (PV) have been identified as crucial ectopic sources that initiate AF and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone for catheter ablation of AF.2,3 Per the European and US AF guidelines, catheter ablation of AF is… View more

Screening for Atrial Fibrillation
Author(s): Emma Svennberg , Added: 2 years ago
In this video from Arrhythmia Academy's Journal Club, Dr David Duncker (Hannover Heart Rhythm Center, Hannover, Germany) and Dr Emma Svennberg (Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden) sit down to discuss screening options for atrial fibrillation. Dr Svennberg presents the results from the STROKESTOP study, which then leads into a discussion in regards to the… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) leads to a prothrombotic state1 and places patients at risk of thromboembolic disease. The most common and serious complication of thromboembolism is stroke, and AF is held responsible for 25 % of all strokes.2 Strokes in the context of AF are associated with a higher mortality, longer hospital stay and lower levels of independence at discharge.3 These factors combine to… View more

Pioneering electrophysiology studies in the 1990s defined the anatomical boundaries of typical atrial flutter, identified regions for effective catheter ablation of this arrhythmia and described procedural endpoints to minimise recurrences after ablation. Activation and entrainment mapping demonstrated that typical flutter arises from reentry around the tricuspid annulus.1 Criteria to confirm… View more

Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) classically focuses on eliminating triggers near and from the pulmonary veins, which may initiate AF. However, the 1–2 year success rate of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains 40–50% for persistent AF1,2 and 50–65% for paroxysmal AF,3–5 while supplementary linear lesions or extensive ablation at electrogram-targets have had disappointing results and may… View more
