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.

Further Studies Needed To Completely Understand About Ventricular Fibrillation

According to a large national pediatric study conducted by Vinay Nadkarni, MD, and Peter A. Meaney, MD, MPH, specialists in Critical Care Medicine// at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia it is found that Ventricular fibrillation (VF) occurs more frequently in children. This is a life-threatening disordered heart rhythms that may accompany full cardiac arrest. It is fatal if it develops later...

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...
