Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation lessens the severity, frequency, and recurrence of the most common form of irregular ...

For patients with heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER), baseline atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with more frequent MR ...

Over the 23-year study period, there was virtually no improvement in the lifetime risk of heart failure after atrial fibrillation (43% in 2000-10 vs 42% in 2011-22) and only slight (4% to 5% ...

Patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AF) at the time of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for ...

Atrial fibrillation is relatively common in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation and is associated with an elevated ...

DALLAS, Oct. 10, 2024 — Three common cardiovascular diseases in adults—heart failure, atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease—are linked to cognitive impairment and increased risk of ...

Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Failure, and a “Forgotten Valve” —These investigators explored the clinical impact of tricuspid regurgitation among patients with early-stage atrial fibrillation ...

The score is based on four parameters: QRS width above 120 milliseconds (2 points), known etiology (2 points), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (1 point) and severe atrial dilation (1 point). Total ...

“Atrial fibrillation can make heart failure much more problematic, and more complex to treat,” said Heidi T. May, PhD, principal investigator of the study and cardiovascular epidemiologist at ...

And, of nearly 3 million patients with no heart disease history who had surgery for other conditions, 0.8% also developed A-Fib, doubling their risk of hospitalization for heart failure.

While most physicians may also screen newly diagnosed heart failure patients for atrial fibrillation, Dr. May said these findings support making sure that such screenings happen regularly in ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic heart failure (CHF) are two major and even growing cardiovascular conditions that often coexist. However, few data are available to guide treatment of AF in ...
