ARCADIA trial showed that in patients with cryptogenic stroke and atrial cardiopathy, apixaban did not reduce the risk of recurrent stroke compared with low dose aspirin. The study was conducted in patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke and evidence of atrial cardiopathy, but without atrial fibrillation.

Another type of heart disease which leads to stroke is an abnormal rhythm of the heart known as atrial fibrillation. In atrial fibrillation, there is a fast irregular rhythm originating in the upper chambers of the heart. Rate in the upper chambers is much higher than that in the lower chambers in atrial fibrillation.

This measurement has been correlated with those made at electrophysiology study and may predict the potential risk of rapid anterograde conduction if the person develops atrial fibrillation. QT prolongation and the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias with exercise are another important aspect of exercise testing in children.

This condition is known as atrial fibrillation, in which the upper chambers of the heart generate very fast irregular signals but fail to contract well. While in low output heart failure the extremities are cold, in high output failure due to increased thyroid function, the extremities of the limbs are warm.

Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular diastolic function with special reference on diastolic function assessment in atrial fibrillation. In atrial fibrillation, the absence of atrial contraction and the A wave makes this assessment impossible.

It may also be useful in those with associated atrial fibrillation and fast ventricular rate when other therapeutic options are not feasible. Caution is needed in females, elderly, frail, malnourished and hypokalemic persons. Serum concentrations below 1.2 ng/mL should be aimed at [1].

Rate vs Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation Rate vs rhythm control as a management strategy in atrial fibrillation has been a long standing topic for debate. EAST-AFNET 4 trial had 2789 patients with early atrial fibrillation and cardiovascular conditions [8]. years of follow up per patient. N Engl J Med.

The authors reported that the regular use of fish oil supplements might be a risk factor for atrial fibrillation among general population. In their study healthy stage was considered as primary stage, occurrence of atrial fibrillation as secondary stage, major adverse cardiovascular events tertiary stage and death as end stage.

A potentially serious drug interaction between diltiazem and apixaban or rivaroxaban has been reported in US Medicare patients taking these drugs together for atrial fibrillation. The study compared serious bleeding risk for new users of apixaban or rivaroxaban with atrial fibrillation treated with diltiazem or metoprolol.

Even though Brugada syndrome is well known for its ventricular arrhythmias, the arrhythmogenic substrate in Brugada syndrome may not be restricted to the ventricles and atrial arrhythmias are being increasingly reported, with varying levels of spontaneous arrhythmias.
