  1. 16. Arrhythmias in Older People: Focusing on Atrial Fibrillation. Epidemiology and impact on daily Life

    Författare :TERESE LINDBERG; Geriatrik; []
    Nyckelord :arrhythmia; epidemiology; experiences; incidence; older people; prevalence; survival; wireless long-term ECG;

    Sammanfattning : Older people with arrhythmias comprise a large group requiring complex care, posing many healthcare challenges. Rapid growth of the older population demands a better understanding of the needs of this patient group. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Chronic atrial fibrillation in man. Activation, organisation and characterisation

    Författare :Magnus Holm; Kardiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ECG spectral analysis; Preferential conduction; Organisation; Conduction velocity; Refractoriness; Mechanisms; Activation pattern; Chronic; Fibrillation; Human; Atrium; Open-heart surgery; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF), with a prevalence progressively increasing with age, is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias in man and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have shown that, in animals as well as in man, experimental atrial fibrillation is based on different types and dimensions of intra-atrial electrical re-entry. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Implications of brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (micro-AF)

    Författare :Tove Fredriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant arrhythmia. It is diagnosed using an electrocardiogram (ECG) and defined as an irregular heart rhythm without p-waves lasting for at least 30 seconds. This 30-second time criterion is based solely on expert consensus. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Cardiac arrhythmias and heart rate variability in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy : A clinical study before and after liver transplantation

    Författare :Rolf Hörnsten; Urban Wiklund; Staffan Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical physiology; Klinisk fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), found in the northernmost counties in Sweden, is a rare, lethal and inherited amyloidosis. The disease is caused by mutated transthyretin (TTR). The mutation is characterized by an exchange of valine for methionine at position 30 (ATTRVal30Met). LÄS MER

  7. 20. Risks and risk monitoring in sotalol therapy for atrial fibrillation

    Författare :Hanna Lenhoff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) stands as the most prevalent arrhythmia, significantly impacting both the prognosis and symptomatology of affected individuals. Healthcare expenditures associated with AF treatment and its related complications, in terms of morbidity and mortality, are substantial. LÄS MER
