The effect of intensified platelet inhibition for patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation who do not undergo revascularization has been delineated.In this double-blind, randomized trial, in a primary analysis involving 7243 under the age 75 years receiving aspirin, we evaluated up to 30 months treatment prasugrel (10 mg daily) versus clopidogrel (75 daily). In secondary 2083 older, 5 clopidogrel.At median follow-up 17 months, end point death from...
Guidelines and Expert Consensus documents aim to present all the relevant evidence on a particular issue in order help physicians weigh benefits risks of diagnostic or therapeutic procedure.They should be helpful everyday clinical decisionmaking.A great number Documents have been issued recent years by European Society Cardiology (ESC) different organisations other related societies.This profusion can put at stake authority validity guidelines, which only guaranteed if they developed an...
The prolongation of intraatrial and interatrial conduction time the inhomogeneous propagation sinus impulses have been shown in patients with atrial fibrillation. Recently P wave dispersion (PWD), which is believed to reflect conduction, has proposed as being useful for prediction paroxysmal fibrillation (PAF). Ninety consecutive (46 men, 44 women; aged 55 +/- 13 years) a history idiopathic PAF 70 healthy subjects (42 28 mean age 53 14 were studied. duration was calculated all 12 leads...

Previous studies evidenced that increased monocyte count or activity and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels were associated with more prevalent atrial fibrillation (AF) which attributed to pro-inflammatory pro-oxidant effects. Monocyte-to-HDL ratio (M/H ratio) is a recently emerged indicator of inflammation oxidative stress have been only studied in patients chronic kidney disease. We aimed investigate the prognostic impact M/H on AF recurrence after cryoballoon-based...
Objectives To provide an accurate, web-based tool for stratifying patients with atrial fibrillation to facilitate decisions on the potential benefits/risks of anticoagulation, based mortality, stroke and bleeding risks. Design The new was developed, using stepwise regression, all then applied lower risk patients. C-statistics were compared CHA 2 DS -VASc 30-fold cross-validation control overfitting.

There are major challenges ahead for clinicians treating patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The population AF is expected to expand considerably and yet, apart from anticoagulation, therapies used in have not been shown consistently impact on mortality or reduce adverse cardiovascular events. New approaches management, including the use of novel technologies structured, integrated care, potential enhance clinical phenotyping result better treatment selection stratified therapy. Here, we...
Among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), women are at higher risk of stroke than men. Using prospective cohort data from a large global population nonvalvular AF, we sought to identify any differences in the use anticoagulants for prevention and men.This was multicenter observational registry 858 randomly selected sites 30 countries. A total 17 184 newly diagnosed (≤6 weeks) AF ≥1 additional investigator-defined factor(s) were recruited (March 2010 June 2013). The main outcome measure...
P-wave dispersion is defined as the difference between maximum and minimum duration recorded from multiple different-surface ECG leads. It has been known that increased reflect prolongation of intraatrial interatrial conduction time inhomogeneous propagation sinus impulses, which are well-known electrophysiologic characteristics in patients with atrial arrhythmias especially paroxysmal fibrillation. Extensive clinical evaluation performed assessment risk for fibrillation without apparent...
