Atrial Fibrillation: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Improving Patient Outcomes
Atrial Fibrillation: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Improving Patient Outcomes, provides a current and comprehensive update on path physiology, epidemiology, management strategies of rate control, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to rhythm control, risk stratification for stroke and bleeding, anticoagulant therapy, and left atrial occlusion devices. The contributions by experienced internists, cardiologists, electrophysiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, pharmacists, internists, nurse practitioners, and nurse educators provide a unique perspective. Case studies of paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent atrial provide clinical context incorporating recent evidence and best pr...
Atrial Fibrillation Explained
It is very likely that you or someone you love is one of the 30 million people worldwide who has the 'irregularly irregular' heartbeat of atrial fibrillation. Or, it is possible that you may be among the people who do not realise they have this highly unpredictable condition, the impact of which can range from inconvenience to blackout, heart failure or stroke. An ageing population and our Western lifestyle are ensuring that the prevalence of atrial fibrillation, often referred to by its initials, AF, is increasing at such a rate that it is predicted to be the next cardiac epidemic. Despite it being so widespread, AF does not allow a one-treatment-for-all approach. While it can be managed, c...
Short Stay Management of Atrial Fibrillation
This book provides a road map for the efficient and successful management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the short stay unit. It describes the problem, defines the measures of successful treatment, elucidates interventions, and supplies the tools for achieving quality care. Organized in four parts, it covers the impact of AF on patient populations; the presentation and management of AF; the transition to the outpatient environment; and systems management. Topics include the economic consequences of AF; cardioversion and cardiac implantable electronic devices in AF management; education of the AF patient and discharge planning; and quality metrics in AF. The book also provides order sheets and process criteria with which institutions can successfully manage the AF patient in the short stay unit, thus optimizing patient outcomes, patient satisfaction, and operational efficiencies. Short Stay Management of Atrial Fibrillation is a valuable resource for cardiologists, emergency medicine physicians, electrophysiologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in AF management.
Atrial Fibrillation, a Treatable Disease?
The attack of atrial fibrillation experienced by President Bush of the United States attracted more attention from the general public to atrial fibrillation than ever before. Also, there is a growing body of knowledge of the pathophysiologic mechanism, the pathology and epidemiology, and especially of the thrombo-embolic complications of this arrhythmia, which is responsible for a renewed interest of the clinician in this very common human arrhythmia. These new perspectives on atrial fibrillation were presented during a conference on `Atrial Fibrillation, a Treatable Disease?', organized on May 7, 1992, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Atrial fibrillation is not the prerogative of the cardiologist only. Many practitioners from other areas in health care, in particular general physicians, internists and neurologists, are faced with this arrhythmia and its untoward consequences. This book bridges the gap between theory, experiment and the clinic. Emphasis is therefore on the selection of the optimal approach, including pharmacotherapy, catheter ablation, pacemaker and surgical therapy, based on the current scientific insights in the mechanism and prevention of atrial fibrillation.
Management of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation is becoming a twenty-first century epidemic. It remains the most common form of sustained arrhythmia with significant mortality, morbidity and cost to the health care system. It is the most common cause of hospital admissions among all arrhythmias. Its prevalence increases with the aging population and is often associated with many other cardiac and noncardiac conditions, most notably congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease. Although significant progress in understanding the epidemiology, natural history and mechanism has been made, the antiarrhythmic therapy in patients with Atrial Fibrillation is less satisfactory. Management of Atr...
Cardiac Arrhythmias: The Management of Atrial Fibrillation
This publication contains the papers presented at a special Symposium on Atrial Fibrillation during the European Society of Cardiology 1991 meeting in Amsterdam, Holland. The contributors offer the current state of the art of the management of the most difficult cardiac arrhythmias atrial fibrillation.
Understanding Atrial Fibrillation, the Signal Processing Contribution
The book presents recent advances in signal processing techniques for modeling, analysis, and understanding of the heart's electrical activity during atrial fibrillation. This arrhythmia is the most commonly encountered in clinical practice and its complex and metamorphic nature represents a challenging problem for clinicians, engineers, and scientists. Research on atrial fibrillation has stimulated the development of a wide range of signal processing tools to better understand the mechanisms ruling its initiation, maintenance, and termination. This book provides undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers and practicing engineers, with an overview of techniques, including ti...
Essentials of Atrial Fibrillation
This handbook offers timely investigation of current pharmaceutical trends, clinical guidelines, novel treatments, and ongoing pipeline developments, including ground-breaking advances in the use of novel oral anticoagulants. Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects an estimated 1–2% of the population and is the most common cause of sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Critically, the number of patients developing AF is expected to double in the next five decades, leading to increased incidence of stroke, heart failure and other serious thromboembolic events.
Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure, An Issue of Heart Failure Clinics
This issue of Heart Failure Clinics is devoted to atrial fibrillation in heart failure. It covers medical management and drug treatment as well as devices and ablation and aims to provide heart failure specialists with the current state of the art in handling this common problem in heart failure patients.
Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure, An Issue of Cardiology Clinics
This issue of Cardiology Clinics, guest edited by Drs. Benjamin A. Steinberg and Jonathan P. Piccini, will focus on Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure. Topics include, but are not limited to Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure, Pathophysiology, Unmet clinical needs and future trials, Randomized clinical trials of catheter ablation for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation/Heart Failure, AF ablation, role for digitalis, His-bundle pacing, Role of ivabradine for rate control, Novel Ablation Approaches for Challenging AF Cases, Imaging for risk stratification in AF/HF, Management of advanced left atrial myopathy, LV systolic function, patient-reported outcomes, Stroke prevention in AF and HF, Prediction and management of recurrences after catheter ablation in AF/HF, and Mechanisms of improved mortality following ablation.
