Abstract BACKGROUND: Recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) are mainly due to pulmonary vein reconnection. However, a growing number of patients have AF recurrences despite durable PVI. The optimal ablative strategy for these patients is unknown. We analyzed the impact of current ablation strategies in a large multicenter study. METHODS:by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar remembers feeling like something was off. "I started noticing symptoms about two or three years ago," he tells PEOPLE. "I was having irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath and had no energy or stamina. I couldn't walk more than 30 yards without having to sit down and rest to catch my breath." When the symptoms went away, he dismissed them. &quoby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
See if your MD will prescribe colchicine 0.6mg to take that CRP down, then set about trying to determine the root cause. Likely to be OSA and partially causal of your AF and CRP.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
I had no idea what emsculpt neo even was but here is something I'd consider when doing one of these procedures or coolsculpting. Where is all of that fat and byproducts going to go? Natural weight loss puts small amounts of fat and byproducts into the bloodstream over time. These procedures dump huge amounts all at once including huge amounts of PUFA, linoleic acid and 4-HNE.

Damndest thing. I'm watching football this year and seeing these incredible running backs that won't take no for an answer and won't stay down after being hit. Attributes like courage, strength and fortitude come to mind and then I recall Susan hauling around tons of river rocks last year and I think, if only the Chiefs could sign her to help # 10 Pacheco.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

You'd think that with as much money as they make off of DOACs pharma could run a trial for these people but guessing they looked at the numbers and there's not enough profit in it. Or they already know it's a bad idea.by PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

When I go to do CHA₂DS₂-VASc I have to +1 for 'diabetes history' but if I am no longer a diabetic and blood glucose and insulin are low due to diet why should I mark that as a factor? Same thing for hypertension. If it's controlled by diet and lifestyle - why mark it? Secondly, if I am in NSR and have been for several years other than one occasion which I noticed right awby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia resulting in increased risk of stroke. Despite highly heritable etiology, our understanding of the genetic architecture of AF remains incomplete. Here we performed a genome-wide association study in the Japanese population comprising 9,826 cases among 150,272 individuals and identified East Asian-specific rare variants associated with AFby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM

I think we all have that "if I'd known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself" feeling at one time or another.

For sure hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia aren't good for humans. Metformin helps control and lessen blood glucose and the vicious cycle of the fore mentioned.

Conclusion In summary, we have identified AF-specific dysregulated gene networks enriched in cardiac metabolism, ion transport, and immune pathways. Notably, we utilized multiple lines of complementary approaches, including LA tissue transcriptomics-based network module findings, network proximity, and drug-gene signature-based enrichment analysis to identify nine candidate drugs that are putaby PavanPharter - AFIBBERS FORUM
