2. 1. Anticoagulant and antiarrhythmic agents for atrial fibrillation

   Author : Natalia Mochalina; Malmö Klinisk koagulationsmedicin; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. AF treatment involves management of precipitating factors, rate- and rhythm control and anticoagulation for prevention of stroke and systemic thromboembolism. READ MORE

4. 2. Atrial fibrillation : treatment, associated conditions and quantification of symptoms

   Author : Niklas Höglund; Steen Jensen; Milos Kesek; Karl Franklin; Juhani Koistinen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; cardioversion; atorvastatin; high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; symptoms; sleep apnea; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia. There is a need for new pharmacological treatment strategies since the current antiarrhythmic drugs have a modest efficacy and may have severe side effects. Cardioversion (CV) of AF offers an opportunity to study related conditions in sinus rhythm (SR) and during AF. READ MORE

5. 3. Outcomes and safety of new techniques for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation : A study based on randomised trials and registries

   Author : David Mörtsell; Carina Blomström-Lundqvist; Stefan Lönnerholm; Isabel Deisenhofer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; antiarrhythmic drugs; ablation; cryoballoon; radiofrequency; pulmonary vein isolation; quality of life; arrhythmia monitoring; implantable cardiac monitor; atrial fibrillation burden; health economics; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common disease with a high prevalence in the adult population. Treatment of AF encompasses antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation to reduce symptoms. READ MORE

6. 4. Catheter ablation compared to antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with atrial fibrillation : A study focusing on arrhythmic burden and quality of life

   Author : Victoria Svedung Wettervik; Carina Blomström-Lundqvist; Elena Sciaraffia; Mattias Duytschaever; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) experience symptoms and have impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Rhythm control therapy, including antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) and catheter ablation for pulmonary vein isolation, aims to relieve symptoms and improve HRQoL. READ MORE

7. 5. Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation : clinical, hormonal and electrophysiological aspects of the maze operation

   Author : Anders Albåge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, associated with significant mortality and morbidity, due to hemodynamic impairment and the increased risk of stroke. Traditional pharmacological treatment may be insufficient or cause intolerable side-effects. READ MORE
