Comparative study of electrical stimulation of the heart with VDD and DDD pacemakers as to the evolution to atrial fibrillation
(2017-09-01)
Introduction: The pacemaker implantation VDD is considered simpler, faster, less expensive and causes fewer complications compared to DDD. However, the VDD pacemaker has not been widely used in many centers, perhaps for ...
Prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation: Novel and safe strategy based on the modulation of the antioxidant system
(2012)
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia following cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. The pathogenesis of postoperative AF is multifactorial. Oxidative stress, caused by the ...
Shared Decision Making Tools for People Facing Stroke Prevention Strategies in Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Environmental Scan.
(SAGE Publications, 2021)
OBJECTIVE: Shared decision making (SDM) tools can help implement guideline recommendations for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) considering stroke prevention strategies. We sought to characterize all available SDM ...
Systemic vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 predicts the occurrence of post-operative atrial fibrillation
(2011)
Background: Post-operative atrial fibrillation occurs in 30% of patients after on-pump heart surgery and is associated to elevated inflammatory markers. We have evaluated if the systemic biomarkers of inflammation and ...
Atrial Coronary Arteries in Areas Involved in Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2010)
Background-The proximity to vascular structures is a limiting factor during radiofrequency ablation. However, little or no attention has been given to the atrial arterial circulation during the development of atrial ...
