The article discusses the critical role of catheter ablation in managing atrial fibrillation (AF) in heart failure (HF) patients, particularly those with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). AF complicates HF management, leading to increased …
The article discusses the significant role of inflammation in atrial fibrillation (AF), a complex cardiac arrhythmia that increases the risk of thromboembolic events. Inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor …
Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly increases stroke risk, by up to five times, due to potential blood clot formation in the heart. Research shows a genetic predisposition to AF correlates with a 1.5-fold increased risk of both stroke and …
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia linked to disorganized electrical activity in the heart, increasing thromboembolic risk. Recent research underscores inflammation’s critical role in AF development, particularly through the …
The article “Understanding Atrial Fibrillation: What It Means for You and Your Pregnancy” discusses the implications of atrial fibrillation (AFib) during pregnancy, highlighting its irregular heart rate and potential complications like …
The article discusses the hidden triggers, symptoms, impacts, and treatment options for atrial fibrillation (AF), a condition characterized by irregular heart rhythms. Key triggers include high blood pressure, alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes, …
The article discusses the link between atrial fibrillation (AFib) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), highlighting how COPD increases the risk of developing AFib due to factors like chronic inflammation and hypoxia. Both conditions …
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a serious heart condition marked by rapid and irregular heartbeats, which can lead to complications like stroke and heart failure. It often remains asymptomatic, especially in elderly patients. Symptoms may include …
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is defined by an irregular and often rapid heart rate, which can lead to serious complications like stroke. Many individuals may not experience noticeable symptoms, and AFib is frequently diagnosed during routine medical …
The article discusses the risk factors for Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), including coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, thyroid problems, and certain medications. It explains the correlation …
Arrhythmia surgery aims to restore normal heart rhythm and improve heart function, with catheter ablation being a prominent minimally invasive treatment option. This procedure targets specific areas in the heart causing abnormal electrical signals …
The article emphasizes the critical role of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in responding to sudden cardiac arrest, a condition where the heart stops beating and blood flow halts. With over 350,000 incidents of cardiac arrest annually in the …
Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) is a procedure aimed at reducing stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) by closing off the left atrial appendage, where blood clots can form. This innovative technique has evolved from surgical …
