Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation – Current Concepts
Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis , Bernard J Gersh , A John Camm Added: 3 years ago
Thrombotic material in atrial fibrillation(AF) usually develops in the left atrial appendage as a result of decreased flow and stasis, possible endothelial dysfunction and a hypercoagulable state as indicated by increased fibrinogen, D-dimer, thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 levels.1 In the Framingham Heart Study, the percentage of strokes attributable to AF increases steeply from 1.5 % in… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia observed in clinical practice, occurring in approximately 2 % of the general population.1–3 A progressive increase in both the prevalence and incidence of AF has been demonstrated in recent years, defining AF as a major economic and public health issue.1 The identification of sites of AF initiation and/or maintenance within… View more

Atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most frequently encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice and has become an emerging epidemic. AF is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidy such as stroke.1–3 Over 2.3 million people in the US are affected by AF: it is estimated that AF will affect more than 15 million Americans by 2050.3 The traditional risk factors implicated in the… View more

Cardiac MRI to Manage Atrial Fibrillation
Author(s): Yan Zhao , Lilas Dagher , Chao Huang , et al Added: 3 years ago
AF is a common arrhythmia in clinical practice, with a prevalence of 2.7–6.1 million that is expected to rise to 5.6–12 million by 2050 in the US alone.1,2 Patients with AF have an increased risk of stroke and mortality and a decreased quality of life.3 In addition, management of AF increases the cost of healthcare.4,5,6 The mechanisms of AF are complex and are associated with electric and… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and may be associated with symptoms, haemodynamic impairment and frightening embolic complications. In 1998 recommendations on the management of AF were reported by the Working Group of Arrhythmias of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). 1 The American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American… View more

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiac disorder, with an autosomal dominant mechanism of inheritance.1,2 It has a prevalence of 1 in 500 within the general population, and is a known cause of sudden cardiac death.2,3 Recognised autosomal dominant mutations within sarcomere proteins are found in 55 % of adolescents with sporadic HCM.4 Characteristic echocardiographic… View more
