  2. 1. Atrial fibrillation – on its trigger mechanisms, risks and consequences

    Author : Dritan Poci; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : acute coronary syndromes; atrial fibrillation; AV junctional ablation; CHADS2 score; electrical cardioversion; mortality; stroke; trigger mechanisms;

    Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently impairs quality of life, but in long-term it is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Persistent AF may cause changes in the sinus node function, and if converted to sinus rhythm (SR), there is a substantial risk of recurrence of AF. READ MORE

  4. 2. Atrial fibrillation and cause of death, sex differences in mortality, and anticoagulation treatment in low-risk patients

    Author : Tommy Andersson; Ole Frøbert; Dritan Poçi; Egon Toft; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Cerebral infarction; Anticoagulation; Cause of death; Mortality risk; Sex differences; CHA2DS2-VASc score;

    Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia but information on cause of death in patients with AF is sparse, and whether individuals at low risk of cerebral infarction (CVL) should receive antico-agulant medication is controversial. Studies of sex differences with respect to mortality risk have shown conflicting results. READ MORE

  5. 3. Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation : effects on rhythm, symptoms and health-related quality of life

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; catheter ablation; symptoms; quality of life;

    Abstract : Background: AF ablation is an increasingly used treatment in patients with AF to improve patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Atrioventricular junction ablation (AVJA) is a palliative treatment option in therapy refractory AF that improves PROs but renders the patient pacemaker dependent. READ MORE
