Numerical Study of Atrial Fibrillation Effects on Flow Distribution in Aortic Circulation.

TL;DR: A parametric study to quantify the sensitivity of aortic flow to four common AF traits including lack of atrial kick, atrial remodelling, left ventricle systolic dysfunction, and high frequency fibrillation reveals that AF traits lower flow rate at left ventricular outflow tract, which in general lowers blood perfusion to systemic, cerebral and coronary circulations.

Clinical scores used for the prediction of negative events in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the most important clinical risk scores predicting rhythm outcomes, electro‐anatomical substrate and mortality in AF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardioversion of atrial fibrillation in a real-world setting: non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants ensure a fast and safe strategy compared to warfarin.

TL;DR: In a real-world clinical setting with anticoagulation handled in a structured multidisciplinary AF clinic, the waiting time to cardioversion was shorter with NOACs compared to warfarin, and the rates of thromboembolism and major bleeding events were low.

Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. TOAST. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment

TL;DR: The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement and should allow investigators to report responses to treatment among important subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins

TL;DR: The pulmonary veins are an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and these foci respond to treatment with radio-frequency ablation.
