Background:
MS is the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. It is most commonly diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 to 50, causing visible and invisible disability that limits functioning and progresses over time. Canada has one of the highest prevalence of MS in the
There is a global epidemic of AF, the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Given an aging population and physically inactive lifestyles, the prevalence of AF and T2D is expected to increase. AF is a progressive disorder with three principal subtypes: paroxysmal AF (AF
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered clinical arrhythmia. Symptoms arising from AF are common, and may include palpitations, fatigue, exertional intolerance, and angina. Relief of symptoms is achieved by rhythm control strategies including drug therapy and catheter
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia with a reported incidence of 2.1% in Turkish population aged 60 and above. Although a minority of patients have minimal or no symptoms, palpitations, dyspnea and fatigue are frequently reported by AF patients. It is well documented
Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent chronic arrhythmia with an increasing prevalence in developed and developing countries. Estimated number of individuals living with chronic atrial fibrillation is 33 million globally. In developed and developing countries, the number of elderly individuals
ORIGINAL HYPOTHESIS Increasing pacemaker left ventricular stimulation output is safe and well-tolerated, and increases acute and longer term exercise capacity and quality of life through improved left ventricular function over a range of heart rates.
The project consists of two closely related work
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) affecting 3% of the population. AF is associated with poor quality of life (QoL) and large costs for society. In a considerable proportion of patients, AF symptoms (e.g., palpitations, fatigue, and chest pain) are
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common multifactorial syndrome in hospitalized patients. Patients in critical care units have the highest risk of developing AKI, which is related to an increase in morbidity and doubles in-hospital mortality (10.2% vs. 25.6%) and at 90 days (16.6% vs. 33.7%).
The
Background:
In general, patients referred to cardiac surgery are aging. An increasing number of patients are now older than 70 years. [1]This older population of patients undergoing cardiac surgery often has several comorbidities and has an increased risk of complications and mortality compared to
A. Patient Enrollment:
UCSD will enroll subjects with symptomatic AF undergoing clinically-indicated ablation at the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center.
B. Research Study Data UCSD will record patient demographics (e.g. age, gender, echocardiographic information), AF history (AF duration, previous and
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) affecting 3% of the population. AF is associated with poor quality of life (QoL) and large costs for society. In a considerable proportion of patients, AF symptoms (e.g., palpitations, fatigue, and chest pain) are
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common cardiovascular disease. Symptoms include dizziness, palpitations, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, fatigue and exercise intolerance. AF is also associated with a high risk of complications like thrombo-embolism and stroke, heart failure, dementia. The
Background:
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmic disorder and ablation of AF has become an important part of AF treatment. AF is associated with a large number of somatic symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, lightheadedness, palpitations, physical limitations, shortness of breath,
Ninety consecutive patients aged 65-85 years, visiting the cardiology clinic at Alingsås Hospital, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and primary care in the western part of Sweden will be asked to participate in the study. Inclusion criteria are permanent atrial fibrillation verified with
1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
