Journal ArticleDOI
The ATRIA risk scheme to predict warfarin-associated hemorrhage not ready for clinical use.
TL;DR: The bleeding risk scheme for anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is described, which includes 5 weighted risk factors: anemia, severe renal disease, age 75 years and older, previous hemorrhage, and diagnosed hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Well begun is half done.
TL;DR: Here, the LAD anomaly was an isolated phenomenon without an interarterial course, considering the potential significance and implications, clinical awareness and angiographic recognition of coronary anomalies is critical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical correlates of echocardiographic tissue velocity imaging abnormalities of the left atrial wall during atrial fibrillation.
Ione Limantoro,Cees B. de Vos,Tammo Delhaas,Bob Weijs,Yuri Blaauw,Ulrich Schotten,Bas L.J.H. Kietselaer,Ron Pisters,Harry J.G.M. Crijns +8 more
TL;DR: Tissue velocity imaging parameters measured during AF may be helpful to characterize the degree of atrial remodelling and optimize treatment and reduce the AFV-TVI in patients with a long AF duration and who have mitral regurgitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspirin versus vitamin K antagonist treatment guided by transoesophageal echocardiography in patients with atrial fibrillation: a pilot study
Trang Dinh,Leo H B Baur,Ron Pisters,Otto Kamp,Freek W.A. Verheugt,Joep L.R.M. Smeets,Emile C. Cheriex,Jan-Eize Lindeboom,Wilfred F. Heesen,Robert G. Tieleman,Martin H. Prins,Harry J.G.M. Crijns +11 more
TL;DR: This hypothesis-generating pilot trial has found that TEE may be used for refinement of stroke risk in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients and a larger trial is needed to confirm these data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial fibrillatory wall motion and degree of atrial remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation: a tissue velocity imaging study.
Cees B. De Vos,Laurent Pison,Ron Pisters,Ulrich Schotten,Emile C. Cheriex,Martin H. Prins,Tammo Delhaas,Harry J.G.M. Crijns,Robert G. Tieleman +8 more
TL;DR: The clinical and electrophysiological correlates of noninvasive tissue velocity imaging (TVI) of the right and left atrial myocardial fibrillatory wall motion are assessed.
