BACKGROUND
Atrial fibrillation (AF) might be associated with an inflammatory activation and reduced left ventricular (LV) function. Less is known with regard to newly introduced markers of LV dysfunction such as carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA-125) in subjects with AF. The aim of this study was
Background The influences of low-carbohydrate diets in cardiovascular disease are controversial. Few studies have examined the relationship of carbohydrate intake and risk of incident atrial fibrillation ( AF ). We aimed to evaluate the association between carbohydrate intake and the risk of
The self-perpetuating nature of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been a subject of intense research in large mammalian models exposed to rapid atrial pacing (RAP). Recently, rodents are increasingly used to gain insight into the pathophysiology of AF. However, little is known regarding the BACKGROUND
The mechanism(s) by which pulmonary veins (PVs) become ectopically active and subsequently initiate and sustain atrial fibrillation (AF) remains poorly understood.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to produce an acute canine model of paroxysmal AF arising from the PVs.
METHODS
In 11
PURPOSE
Atrial fibrillation (
AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with an increased risk of stroke. Indeed, silent
AF is frequently identified in unexplained ischemic stroke.
18F-FDG-PET/CT is a powerful tool for assessing myocardial
The aim of the present study was to explore substitution of intake of saturated fatty acids (FAs) with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated FAs and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in men and women. A total of 57,053 Danish participants aged 50 to 64 years were enrolled in the Diet, Cancer and
The aim of the work was to identify risk factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) in 151 patients with metabolic syndrome (MS, IDF 2005); 88 of them presented with the recurrent form of AE 63 had no arrhythmia. Practically all patients suffered from arterial hypertension. The groups were comparable in
Pharmaco-therapeutic strategies of atrial fibrillation (AF) are moderately effective and do not prevent AF onset and progression. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel therapies. Previous studies revealed heat shock protein (HSP)-inducing compounds to mitigate AF onset and progression.
OBJECTIVE
To assess serum levels of tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in patients with heart failure (HF) and to investigate possible correlation with echocardiographic parameters and level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP).
METHODS
We included 76 patients with different cardiac
Atrial fibrillation (Af) is the most common disorder of cardiac rhythm and is responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality in the general population. A recent community-based observational study revealed that diabetes and hypertension were associated with the development of Af. Since there is
The aim of the study was to elucidate specific features of chronic recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and disturbed carbohydrate metabolism compared with AF patients without MS. It enrolled 145 patients aged 44-83 years: 117 with abdominal obesity (BMI >30
BACKGROUND
A strategy of limited preoperative fasting, with carbohydrate (CHO) loading and intraoperative infusion of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA), has seldom been tried in cardiovascular surgery. Brief fasting, followed by CHO intake 2 h before anesthesia, may improve recovery
OBJECTIVE
Atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery is a frequent complication. In this study we studied various factors in addition to trying to identify a marker that would predict the potential for atrial fibrillation before surgical intervention to prevent its occurrence.
METHODS
We targeted 234
BACKGROUND
Limited information is available about preoperative fasting abbreviation with administration of liquid enriched with carbohydrates (CHO) in cardiovascular surgeries.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate clinical variables, security of the method and effects on the metabolism of patients undergoing
All patients with heart diseases should undergo risk stratification to predict those who are at high risk for short- and long-term adverse outcomes. Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is a glycoprotein produced by mesothelium that has clinical role in ovarian cancer monitoring. However, as it is not
