Abstract 4139226: Anticoagulation For Patients On Hemodialysis And Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation

Background:Anticoagulation is the standard treatment for the majority of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) to reduce the risk of stroke. Such patients are at high risk for bleeding and stroke. In addition, those with stroke, mitral or aortic valve surgery prior to AF were excluded.

Potential Effects of Mild Atrial Secondary Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Isolated Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging

BACKGROUND:Patients with only moderate atrial secondary mitral regurgitation (asMR) frequently develop heart failure (HF). Although mild/moderate primary mitral regurgitation is compensated by left ventricular (LV) dilatation, the LV is not dilated in asMR. Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Ahead of Print.

Long-term effects of left atrial appendage isolation in surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation based on lesion set: a multi-centre propensity-score weighted study

Open Heart

Background This present study aimed to investigate the impact of left atrial appendage (LAA) isolation on adverse clinical outcomes, with a further stratified analysis by biatrial (BA) and left atrial lesion sets, in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing surgical ablation (SA) concurrent with mitral valve (MV) surgery.
