Podcasts about Atrial fibrillation

Jafar has a history of atrial fibrillation and reports occasional fatigue and palpitations. His resting heart rate is 96 bpm and irregular, and he takes a beta-blocker. During a six-minute walk test, he experiences mild shortness of breath but completes the test without difficulty. Which consideration is MOST important when developing this patient's exercise program?A) Monitor for a target heart rate based on age-predicted max heart rateB) Use a perceived exertion scale to guide exercise intensityC) Avoid aerobic exercise due to the risk of arrhythmiasD) Encourage high-intensity intervals to improve cardiovascular functionDOWNLOAD THIS EPISODE'S CHEATSHEET:www.nptecheatsheet.com/atrial-fib

حدود نیم میلیون آسترالیایی با مریضی فیبریلاسیون دهلیزی یا Atrial Fibrillation که شایع‌ترین نوع بی‌نظمی ضربان قلب است، زندگی می‌کنند. اما تقریباً ۳۰ درصد مبتلایان در مورد آن نمی‌دانند. این مسأله می‌تواند پیامدهای جدی برای صحت آن‌ها، بخصوص در دوره کلان‌سالی به همراه داشته باشد؛ چون این وضعیت خطر ابتلاء به سکته مغزی و زوال عقل را افزایش می‌دهد.

Alexander W. R. Bridges, MD, offers the insight of a cardiothoracic surgeon to an engaging discussion of atrial fibrillation, its causes, risk factors, pathophysiology, populations affected, and treatments. The object of therapy, Dr. Bridges attests, is to stabilize the heart rhythm and reduce the lifetime risk of stroke and heart failure. Dr Bridges reviews the Cox-Maze 3 procedure, left atrial appendage removal, percutaneous ablation, and other advances for atrial fibrillation at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health.

In this onsite conversation from Heart Rhythm 2025, Tara U. Mudd, MSN, APRN, NP-C, and Courtney Channels, APRN, share insights on building and advancing Atrial Fibrillation Centers of Excellence.

We covered a paper in episode 81 that suggested treating atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response in the field could lower mortality. But it also drops BP a bit. Could pretreating these patients with calcium lower the risk of hypotension? Dr Jarvis puts on his nerd hat and uses Bayesian analysis to assess a new randomized, placebo-controlled study that looked at just this thing. Why is he going off on this Bayes thing? Because he's been reading a couple of book on it and wanted to take it for a spin.  Tables:  Charts: Bayesian Distributions: Citation: 1.     Az A, Sogut O, Dogan Y, Akdemir T, Ergenc H, Umit TB, Celik AF, Armagan BN, Bilici E, Cakmak S: Reducing diltiazem-related hypotension in atrial fibrillation: Role of pretreatment intravenous calcium.

Assessing Recurrence Following Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation   Guest: Nicholas Tan, M.D., M.S. Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.   Pulsed field ablation has been rapidly adopted across the United States since FDA approval was granted 1 year ago, due to its excellent acute efficacy, favorable safety profile, and fast workflow. However, recurrences post-ablation are comparable to that of previously established modalities, making this a significant hurdle that has yet to be overcome. Changes to mapping/ablation strategies, updates to PFA parameters, autonomic modulation, and combination modality ablations (PFA/RFA) offer some avenues for improvement   Topics Discussed:  What is pulsed field ablation (PFA) and how does it differ from previously established modalities of ablation such as radiofrequency and cryoablation? What are the recurrence rates post-PFA and how do they compare with other modalities? In patients who undergo redo ablations following an index PFA procedure, what are the most common causes (i.e. reconnection of pulmonary veins versus new sites)? How do you think PFA will evolve in the coming years   Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

BUFFALO, NY — May 14, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 4, on April 10, 2025, titled “Impact of Factor Xa inhibitors on cardiovascular events in older patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.” In this study, first author Masahiko Takahashi and corresponding author Keisuke Okawa led a research team from Kagawa Prefectural Central Hospital and Hyogo Medical University that investigated whether Factor Xa inhibitors (Xa-Is)—a type of blood thinner—can reduce the risk of heart-related complications in patients over 80 with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The study found that patients using Xa-Is experienced significantly fewer cardiovascular problems than those on other anticoagulants. This finding is especially relevant, as older adults face a high risk of both stroke and heart disease. Atrial fibrillation is a common heart rhythm disorder, particularly in the elderly, that increases the risk of blood clots, heart failure, and stroke. Anticoagulants are often prescribed to prevent clots, but not all types have the same effects on heart health. This study focused on comparing Xa-Is—specifically rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban—with commonly used drugs such as warfarin and dabigatran. Researchers followed more than 1,000 patients aged 80 and above for up to five years to assess the long-term impact of these medications on cardiovascular outcomes. Patients who used Xa-Is had significantly lower rates of heart failure, artery disease, and cardiovascular death. The risk of cardiovascular problems in the Xa-I group was less than half that of those on non-Xa-I medications. These benefits remained even after adjusting for factors like age, existing heart conditions, and kidney function. Additionally, stroke and all-cause death rates were notably lower in the Xa-I group. “Xa-Is may be useful for not only anticoagulation but also the prevention of cardiovascular events in very old patients with NVAF.” What makes Xa-Is different, according to the researchers, is their ability to inhibit a specific biological pathway—known as Factor Xa–PAR2—that contributes to inflammation, fibrosis, and damage in blood vessels and heart tissue. This effect extends beyond their traditional role in preventing blood clots. Although the study was conducted at a single medical center in Japan, its rigorous design and long follow-up period enhance the reliability of the findings for real-world clinical decision-making. While further studies, especially across multiple centers, are needed to confirm the full range of benefits, this study strongly suggests that Xa-Is may offer broader cardiovascular protection for very old patients. The findings could influence how clinicians choose blood thinners for elderly individuals with atrial fibrillation, potentially improving both survival and quality of life in this growing population.

Host Melissa E. Middeldorp, MPH, PhD, of the University Medical Centre Groningen & University of Adelaide, is joined by Andrea Robinson, MSN, ACNP, from Riverside Methodist Hospital, OhioHealth, and Jeroen ML Hendriks, PhD, RN, of Maastricht University Medical Centre, in this episode. The AF-EduCare trial investigated whether targeted patient education (delivered in-person or online) could reduce unplanned cardiovascular events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The study found that while education improved patient knowledge, medication adherence, and risk factor awareness, it did not significantly reduce cardiovascular hospitalizations, emergency visits, or mortality compared to standard care. However, subgroup analyses suggested that younger patients, those without heart failure, and asymptomatic AF patients might benefit more from in-person education. The findings highlight that while education enhances patient engagement, comprehensive medical management and timely clinical interventions remain the key drivers of improved cardiovascular outcomes in AF care.  Join us for this in-depth conversation about the trial.   https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://academic.oup.com/europace/article/27/1/euae211/7964628 Host Disclosure(s): M.
