Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is effective for maintenance of sinus rhythm in 50% to 75% patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and it not uncommon require additional ablation after PVI. We prospectively evaluated the relative effectiveness 2 post-PVI strategies fibrillation. Methods Results: A total 500 (mean age, 55.7±11.0 years; 74.6% male) were randomly assigned undergo by different PVI: (1) elimination non-PV triggers (group A, n=250) or (2) stepwise substrate...
Non-vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants (NOACs) have been used to prevent thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and shown favorable clinical outcomes compared warfarin. However, off-label use of NOACs is frequent practice, its results are inconsistent. Furthermore, the quality anticoagulation available warfarin often suboptimal even inaccurate real-world data. We therefore effectiveness safety those whose anticoagulant intensity was accurately estimated. retrospectively...
Abstract The risk of having atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with alcohol intake. However, it not clear whether sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and ventricular arrhythmia (VA) including tachycardia, flutter, or have similar associations alcohol. We aimed to evaluate the association intake all-cause death, new-onset AF, VA, SCA using single cohort a sufficient sample size. A total 3,990,373 people without prior history VAs, was enrolled in this study based on nationwide health check-up...
Patients with heart failure (HF) experience a marked reduction in overall skeletal muscle strength and exercise capacity, which is detrimental to their prognosis. This study examined the clinical implications of handgrip (HGS) patients HF. Overall, 173 (mean age, 62 years; 81.5% male) underwent cardiac rehabilitation from 2015 2020. Baseline HGS was measured as average value (kg) for both hands using handheld dynamometer. For each patient, distance walked during 6-min walk test metabolic...
Background Elevated heart rate in patients with acute ischemic stroke is associated increased risk of mortality. Beta‐blocker therapy well known to reduce rate. Methods and Results This study was a post hoc analysis maximum rates ≥100 bpm. use, assessed on the eighth day after index stroke, categorized as persistent or nonpersistent based usage up 39 months. The primary outcome composite recurrence, myocardial infarction, mortality within first year. Long‐term mortality, secondary outcome,...
Background: Metabolic syndrome is associated with a significantly increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, whether temporal changes in the metabolic status are SCD unknown. We aimed to determine and gamma-glutamyl transferase (ɣ-GTP), including their changes, SCD. Methods: performed nationwide population-based analysis using Korean National Health Insurance Service. People who underwent national health check-up 2009 2011 were enrolled. The influence ɣ-GTP on was evaluated....
Abstract Background Dyslipidemia measured as low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol is an established risk factor of cardiovascular disease, which more pronounced in diabetes population. Less known about the association LDL-cholesterol level and sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) mellitus patients. This study investigated SCA Methods was based on Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Patients who received general examination from 2009 to 2012 diagnosed type 2 were analyzed. Primary...
Chronic lung disease (CLD) is one of the important underlying diseases atrial fibrillation (AF). The outcomes after radiofrequency catheter ablation AF in patients with CLD have not yet been reported. We investigated electroanatomic alterations pulmonary veins (PVs) and assessed their effect on AF.We 15 who had underwent AF. included chronic obstructive disease, a tuberculosis-destroyed lung, interstitial disease. For controls, we selected 60 sex-, age-, procedure era-matched non-CLD...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is crucial to understand the exact public health burden of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases; this presently unknown since sufficient episodes are not reported in registry studies.
