Cardiomyopathy Etiology Affects Catheter Ablation Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy vs those with known heart disease had better outcomes in catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Atrial Fibrillation
NOACS and LAA Closure With Watchman Device Cost-Effective Relative to Warfarin
For patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, left atrial appendage closure may be the most cost-effective stroke prevention measure vs warfarin and NOACS.
Possible Drug Interaction Between Acenocoumarol and Levofloxacin in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Five cases of probable interaction, including severe renal impairment, between the anticoagulant acenocoumarol and levofloxacin were described in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Improvement in Left Atrial Function Critical for Atrial Fibrillation-Free Survival After Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Left atrial functional improvement independently predicated atrial fibrillation-free survival after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Incident Atrial Fibrillation Predicted by Central Sleep Apnea
Central sleep apnea and Cheyne Stokes respiration predict incident atrial fibrillation in older men.
Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Exciting New Proposition or a Practically Non-Feasible Alternative?
Occlusion of the left atrial appendage provides protection against thromboembolic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
Factors Affecting Choice of Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants
Choosing the right anticoagulant agent can be a challenge for many reasons, including cost, familiarity, drug interactions, and reversibility.
Stroke Prevalence and Risk May Be Higher in Patients With Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation
Risk and prevalence of stroke in patients with undiagnosed asymptomatic atrial fibrillation remains problematic for patients and clinicians.
FreezeAF: Cryoballoon Noninferior to Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Recent trials have shown that cryoballoon catheter ablation has demonstrated success in treating atrial fibrillation among 74% of patients, presenting an alternative to traditional radiofrequency ablation.
