Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Beats Drug Therapy
For patients with atrial fibrillation, those undergoing ablation have a reduced risk for recurrent AF compared with those receiving drug therapy.
Atrial Fibrillation
Serum VCAM-1 Levels and Incident Heart Failure
Higher serum levels of VCAM-1 may be associated with incident HFpEF.
FGF23 May Be Associated With Higher LV Mass, and Lower LA and LV Systolic Function
FGF23 levels may be associated with lower LV systolic function, higher LV mass, and lower LA function.
Atrial Fibrillation Risk May Be Lowered, Delayed in African American Men With Higher Fitness Levels
Higher fitness levels were found to lower and delay the risk for atrial fibrillation among African American male veterans.
AHA Issues Statement on Drug-Induced Arrhythmias
The objective of the statement was to review and discuss medications that may cause or exacerbate arrhythmias.
Daily Coffee May Lower Risk for Developing Arrhythmia
Regular coffee consumption is associated with a significantly lower risk for arrhythmias.
Pharmacologic and Electrical Cardioversion Both Found to Be Effective for Acute AF
Pharmacologic cardioversion followed by electrical cardioversion and electrical cardioversion only were found to be safe and effective in patients presenting to the emergency department with recent onset acute atrial fibrillation.
Risk of COPD In-Hospital Mortality Linked to Atrial Fibrillation
In patients hospitalized for COPD exacerbation, the presence of atrial fibrillation may increase the risk of in-hospital mortality.
Advancements in Screening and Diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation
The incidence of atrial fibrillation is predicted to double by 2045. With this projected increase, it is important that clinicians have access to the latest screening and diagnostic tools to prevent thromboembolic complications.
