    Sammanfattning : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically significant arrythmia with a prevalence of approximately 3% in the general population. Less is known about the incidence of AF. In order to reduce the incidence of AF, it is of essence to identify modifiable risk factors for the disease. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Evaluation of New Non-Pharmacological Therapies for Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation : With Special Emphasis on the Maze Procedure

    Författare :Stefan Lönnerholm; Lennart Bergfeldt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Atrial fibrillation; Maze procedure; pacing; quality of life; förmaksflimmer; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; Maze kirurgi; livskvalitet; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation is a common disease. With pharmacological therapy most patients with atrial fibrillation have moderate or little symptoms, but a number of patients have severely symptomatic disease. This study evaluates two new non-pharmacological therapies for atrial fibrillation, the Maze procedure and atrial overdrive pacing. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Population-based prediction of atrial fibrillation

    Författare :Gustav Smith; Kardiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; prediction; epidemiology; genetics; natriuretic peptide; heart failure;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and increases in prevalence. As AF confers increased risk of morbidity, stroke, dementia and mortality, a major objective of cardiovascular epidemiology today is the development of tools for prediction and prevention of AF and its consequences.

  7. 5. Novel risk factors for atrial fibrillation in an urban population

    Författare :Samuel Adamsson Eryd; Kardiovaskulär forskning - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ceruloplasmin; atrial fibrillation; epidemiology; genetic polymorphisms; intima-media thickness; plasma proteins; red blood cell distribution width; risk factors;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in the general population, and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Low-grade inflammation, erythrocyte volume variation, and subclinical atherosclerosis have repeatedly been associated with cardiovascular disease, but it remains unclear whether these risk factors are also associated with incident AF.
