  1. 6. Conduction Disturbances in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

    Författare :Eva Hertervig; Kardiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; Pulmonary Vein Potentials; Atrial Fibrillation; Conduction Disturbances;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The electrophysiological mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation (AF) are incompletely understood. Experimental studies have shown that remodelling of the atrial myocardium is linked to the occurrence and perpetuation of AF. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation with Cryo and Radiofrequency Concomitant to Mitral Valve Surgery : Clinical, Biochemical and Echocardiography Outcomes

    Författare :Gabriella Boano; Farkas Vánky; Meriam Åström Aneq; Lena Jideus; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Mitral valve surgery; Surgical ablation; Cox-Maze IV; Left atrium remodelling; 3D echocardiography;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. In cardiac surgery, the negative influence of AF on short- and long-term outcomes has made concomitant ablation procedures more common. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Atrial Fibrillation. Modulation of the atrial fibrillatory frequency. A non-invasive approach

    Författare :Carl Meurling; Kardiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; elektrofysiologi; Förmaksflimmer; arytmi; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; non-invasiv;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: To non-invasively detect and explore the changes in atrial fibrillatory cycle length (i.e. changes in the atrial refractory period) in humans with chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF) following autonomic modulation and pharmacological intervention. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Anticoagulant and antiarrhythmic agents for atrial fibrillation

    Författare :Natalia Mochalina; Malmö Klinisk koagulationsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. AF treatment involves management of precipitating factors, rate- and rhythm control and anticoagulation for prevention of stroke and systemic thromboembolism. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Pathophysiological role and clinical relevance of cytokines in hypertensive heart failure. A combined clinical and experimental study

    Författare :Espen Haugen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Heart failure; cytokines; elderly; hypertension; cardiac remodelling; interleukin 6; etanercept; adiponectin;

    Sammanfattning : Although mortality due to heart failure has decreased significantly in the last decade since the introduction of ACE-inhibitors and ?-adrenergic receptor blockers in the management of heart failure, chronic heart failure is still one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality and has a very high frequency for readmission to hospitalization because of the aggravation of heart failure. This accounts for a significantly higher health-care expenditure that is twice as much the cost for cancer. LÄS MER
