Biomarkers and atrial fibrillation : Prediction of recurrences and thromboembolic events after rhythm control management

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical praxis and is associated with an increased risk for cardio- and cerebrovascular complications leading to an increased mortality. Catheter ablation represents one of the most important and efficient therapy strategies in AF patients. Nevertheless, the high incidence of arrhythmia recurrences after catheter ablation leads to repeated procedures and higher treatment costs. Recently, several scores had been developed to predict rhythm outcomes after catheter ablation. Biomarker research is also of enormous interest. There are many clinical and blood biomarkers pathophysiologically associated with AF occurrence, progression and recurrences. These biomarkers-including different markers in blood (e. g. von Willebrand factor, D‑dimer, natriuretic peptides) or urine (proteins, epidermal grown factor receptor) but also cardiac imaging (echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging)-could help to improve clinical scores and be useful for individualized AF management and optimized patients' selection for different AF treatment strategies. In this review, the role of diverse biomarkers and their predictive value related to AF-associated complications are ...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.
