Abstract

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is one of the most common clinical arrhythmias. Although radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation has continuously matured and developed in recent years, some patients treated with RFCA continued to have atrial fibrillation recurrence, and the recurrence rate was high. Determining indicators to predict the recurrence of PAF after RFCA is significantly important for improving the surgical success rate and guiding clinical work. This study aimed to investigate the influence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) on the late recurrence of PAF after RFCA. A total of 300 patients with PAF, who underwent RFCA for the first time at the Department of Cardiology of Fujian Union Medical College Hospital from January 2013 to October 2016, were retrospectively studied. These patients were regularly followed-up from 3 months at least to 3 years and clinical data were collected. In order to observe the 100 PAF patients with PAH were assigned into the observation group, and 200 PAF patients without PAH were assigned as the control group. PAH and its related clinical characteristics were evaluated by univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and logistic regression an...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

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

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.

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.
