1. 26. Risk factors for atrial fibrillation in population-based studies : Epidemiological perspectives

   Författare :Linda Johnson; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
   Nyckelord :Atrial fibrillation; Fasting plasma insulin; forced expiratory volume; glucose; hypertension; lung volumes; population; premature atrial contractions; risk factors; spirometry; supraventricular extrasystoles; supraventricular tachycardias systolic blood pressure; weight;

   Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among the elderly, and has serious consequences such as stroke and increased mortality. Not all of the population attributable risk for AF is explained by known risk factors. LÄS MER

3. 27. Outcomes and safety of new techniques for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation : A study based on randomised trials and registries

   Författare :David Mörtsell; Carina Blomström-Lundqvist; Stefan Lönnerholm; Isabel Deisenhofer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; antiarrhythmic drugs; ablation; cryoballoon; radiofrequency; pulmonary vein isolation; quality of life; arrhythmia monitoring; implantable cardiac monitor; atrial fibrillation burden; health economics; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common disease with a high prevalence in the adult population. Treatment of AF encompasses antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation to reduce symptoms. LÄS MER

4. 28. 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

5. 29. Atrial Fibrillation in the setting of Coronary Artery Disease : Risks and outcomes with different treatment options

   Författare :Gorav Batra; Jonas Oldgren; Gunnar Gislason; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; coronary artery disease; acute coronary syndrome; myocardial infarction; percutaneous coronary intervention; coronary artery bypass grafting; antithrombotic therapy; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; angiotensin II receptor blockers; epidemiology; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide and atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Despite improved outcome in both diseases, there is a need to further describe the prevalence, outcome and management of CAD in patients with concomitant AF. LÄS MER

7. 30. Atrial fibrillation – on its trigger mechanisms, risks and consequences

   Författare :Dritan Poci; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :acute coronary syndromes; atrial fibrillation; AV junctional ablation; CHADS2 score; electrical cardioversion; mortality; stroke; trigger mechanisms;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently impairs quality of life, but in long-term it is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Persistent AF may cause changes in the sinus node function, and if converted to sinus rhythm (SR), there is a substantial risk of recurrence of AF. LÄS MER
