Jan 25th, 2021 - The associations between body mass index (BMI) and incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in young men are scarce, especially in Asian countries, given the differences in BMI between Asians and Western populations.Methods and Results:This study ana...

Jan 25th, 2021 - Originally developed for predicting the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the CHA2DS2-VASc score also has the potential to predict the risk of other cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic val...

Jan 25th, 2021 - We sought to determine the impact of left atrial appendage clip exclusion (LAACE) on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) outcomes among patients with pre-existing atrial fibrillation (AF). From October 1, 2015 to October 1, 2017, 4210 Medicare ...

Jan 25th, 2021 - Effective stroke prevention with oral anticoagulation (OAC) reduces the risk of stroke and death among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). For most patients with AF, treatment options include vitamin K antagonists (VKA) or non-vitamin K antago...

Jan 25th, 2021 - The mechanism of left atrial (LA) remodeling is poorly understood. The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate whether changes in NT-proBNP levels relate to alterations of LA structure and function over time in a multi-ethnic population....

Feb 25th, 2020 - Epidemiological and biological plausibility studies support a cause-and-effect relationship between increased levels of physical activity or cardiorespiratory fitness and reduced coronary heart disease events. These data, plus the well-documented ...

Feb 4th, 2020 - There is an increasing consumption of energy drinks both in the United States and worldwide. The components of these beverages are sometimes unclear but commonly include caffeine, sugars, taurine, and B-vitamins. Young people, particularly those e...

Jan 13th, 2021 - Intraoperative injection of calcium chloride into the four major atrial ganglionated plexi (GPs) reduced the incidence of early postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery...

Jan 13th, 2021 - (Reuters Health) - Even light drinking, if it's regular, can raise a person's risk of developing atrial fibrillation, a new study suggests. An analysis of data from more than 100,000 European adults who were free of atrial fibrillation at baseline...

Jan 13th, 2021 - Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) for high-risk atrial fibrillation seems to prevent stroke as well as direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) with a lower risk of major bleeding, according to results of a European study. And although some experts...

Jan 4th, 2021 - Takeaway Edoxaban was similarly efficacious to warfarin for stroke prevention across the frailty spectrum. Bleeding events were reduced in patients who received edoxaban, except in those with severe frailty. Overall, with increasing frailty, there...

Jan 3rd, 2021 - A 65-year-old man with a history of heart failure and atrial fibrillation, treated with amiodarone, presents to the emergency department with worsening shortness of breath. He does not have other complaints. An ECG is obtained. Figure 1. Courtesy ...
