Compared to patients with PeAF, patients with long-standing PeAF had more heart failure, previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, chronic kidneydisease, higher CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score, and larger left atrium (LA). Results A total of 367 PeAF (25%) and 1117 long-standing PeAF (75.3%) patients (mean age 61.99.6 of PeAF and 40.1%
Results Compared to patients in early CBA group, patients in late CBA group had higher prevalence of diabetes, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidneydisease, and higher mean CHA 2 DS 2 -VAS score. The primary outcome was recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) of ≥30-s after a 3-month blanking period.
It’s not just an isolated disorder of the heart’s rhythm, and we now know that the longer someone is in AFib, the harder it is to get them back to normal sinus rhythm,” said Jose Joglar, MD , professor of cardiac electrophysiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and chair of the writing committee.
Overall, it appears that rhythm control strategy in AF may be better in those with heart failure and in those with associated cardiovascular conditions and early AF.
He also had a history of chronic kidneydisease, stage III. Angio had shown some acute disease in the saphenous vein graft to the posterior descending artery off of the RCA. Most recent echo showed EF of 60%. He had recently had a NonSTEMI. He was managed medically with Clopidogrel.
AF is associated with an increased risk of death as well as multiple adverse outcomes, including stroke, cognitive impairment or dementia, myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, heart failure (HF), chronic kidneydisease (CKD), and peripheral artery disease (PAD).
