Surgeons develop simpler way to cure atrial fibrillation

Physicians have an effective new option for treating atrial fibrillation, a common irregular heart rhythm that can cause stroke. Heart surgeons at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed and tested a device that radically shortens and simplifies a complex surgical procedure that has had the best long-term cure rate for persistent atrial fibrillation. The simpli...

Atrial fibrillation predicts for acute ischaemic stroke

Atrial fibrillation predicts for severe stroke andearly death in patients with acute ischaemic stroke One of the commonest cardiac arrhythmia is atrial//fibrillation. The risk of thromoembolic complicationsfollowing atrial fibrillation is nearly seven timesmore than those with normal sinus rhythm. Previously,studies have shown that AF is present in 15–21% ofpatients affected by stro...

Surgeons Presented Guidelines For Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation

Researchers from American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) had provided clinical guidelines for chest physicians who deal with prevention and management of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery. Their report was published in the latest issue of journal Chest. The researchers offer specific guidelines relating to cardiac pacing, anticoagulation therapy // , pharmaceutical...

Gene That Causes Atrial Fibrillation Identified

Atrial fibrillation affects millions of Americans and is one of the most common causes of heart failure and stroke. But researchers now have identified a gene that is responsible for this chaotic electrical activation of the heart muscle and atrial fibrillation (AF).// 'The discovery underscores the significance of heredity in susceptibility to atrial fibrillation,' explains Timothy M....

For High BP Patients, Preventing Enlarged Heart Decreases Risk of Atrial Fibrillation

For high-blood-pressure patients, preventing or reducing enlarged heart (left ventricular hypertrophy, LVH) reduces risk of atrial fibrillation (AF or afib), a life-threatening condition that can lead to stroke and heart failure.// An estimated 20 percent of all high-blood-pressure patients, or 12 million Americans, have LVH and are at increased risk of developing AF. Whil...

New Tool Being Tested to Halt Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation

Clinical researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Health System are starting a trial utilizing a new mechanism to treat the heart when its electrical pulses// essentially short-circuit, referred to as atrial fibrillation (A-Fib). The biggest problem physicians run into with current therapies to cope with electrical rhythmic pumping problems in the heart, namely pulmonary vein iso...
