The number of elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing rapidly, and the safety efficacy catheter ablation in this demographic group has not been established.Over a 7-year period we studied 1,165 consecutive undergoing 1,506 AF procedures using consistent protocol that included proximal ostial pulmonary vein (PV) isolation focal non-PV triggers. Outcome was analyzed for three distinct age groups: <65 years (group 1; n = 948 patients), 65-74 2; 185 > or =75 3; 32 patients)...
Health status was assessed in 39 kava users and 34 non-users a coastal Aboriginal community Arnhem Land. Twenty (27%) respondents were very heavy (mean consumption, 440 g/week) of kava; 15 (21%) (310 four (5%) occasional (100 kava. Kava more likely to complain poor health "puffy" face, have typical scaly rash, slightly-increased patellar reflexes. Very 20% underweight their levels γ-glutamyl transferase increased greatly. Albumin, plasma protein, urea bilirubin decreased users, high-density...
Background— We previously demonstrated that treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) during the first 6 weeks after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation reduces incidence of clinically significant arrhythmias and need for cardioversion or hospitalization arrhythmia management. Whether early rhythm suppression decreases longer-term recurrence is unknown. now report 6-month follow-up data from this study. Methods Results— The Antiarrhythmics After Ablation Atrial Fibrillation study...
Atrial arrhythmias are common early after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. We hypothesized that empirical antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy for 6 weeks AF ablation would reduce the occurrence of arrhythmias.We randomized consecutive patients with paroxysmal undergoing to (AAD group) or no (no-AAD first In no-AAD group, only atrioventricular nodal blocking agents were prescribed. All wore a transtelephonic monitor 4 discharge and reevaluated at weeks. The primary end point study was...
Fluid losses (measured by body weight changes) and voluntary fluid intakes were measured in elite basketball, netball, soccer teams during typical summer winter exercise sessions to determine requirements the degree of replacement. Each subject was weighed minimal clothing before immediately after training, weights, competition sessions; intake, duration exercise, temperature humidity, opportunity drink recorded. Sweat rates greatest significantly lower weights for all sports. Seasonal...
PV Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation. Introduction: Effectiveness of antral pulmonary vein isolation (PVAI) and ablation non‐PV triggers (non‐PVTA) in controlling longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been reported. We sought to describe clinical outcomes with this strategy patients (pts) followed at least 1 year. Methods: Two hundred pts underwent PVAI AF were recurrence. Thirty‐three <1‐year follow‐up 37 additional RF excluded, leaving 130 analysis. Results:...
Abstract There have been no studies of smoking during pregnancy and bone mineralization in children. The objective this population-based longitudinal study was to determine whether maternal is associated with mass other growth variables prepubertal We studied 330 8-year-old male female children representing 47% those who originally took part a risk factors for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome 1988. main outcome measures were mineral density measured by Hologic QDR2000 densitometer: birth weight,...
A randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of a 4-wk extended theory planned behavior (TPB) intervention to promote regular physical activity and healthy eating among older adults diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease (N = 183). Participants completed TPB measures attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention, as well planning behavior, at preintervention 1 wk 6 postintervention for each behavior. No significant time-by-condition effects...
