左房增大对起搏器术后的老年阵发性房颤患者再发房颤的影响

目的：探讨植入心脏起搏器的老年阵发性房颤患者再发房颤（包括无症状性房颤）发生率及左房容积指数对再发房颤的影响。方法：收集2012年1月-2013年12月在我院起搏器门诊长期随访且未服用抗心律失常药物的起搏器术后老年阵发性房颤患者148例,记录基线特征、超声心动图参数及随访期间内房颤发生情况。分别根据左房容积指数及房颤负荷进行分组,应用Cox回归分析探讨起搏器检测的再发房颤及房颤高负荷的危险因素。结果：患者平均随访时间为22.79个月,期间57.43%的患者再发房颤,22.97%的患者为房颤高负荷,15.54%的患者为无症状房颤。多因素Cox回归分析发现左房增大分别是再发房颤及房颤高负荷的独立危险因素。结论：左房容积指数是预测起搏器术后老年阵发性房颤患者房颤复发及房颤高负荷的独立危险因素。     

Clinical Characteristics,Management, and Control of Permanent vs. Nonpermanent Atrial Fibrillation: Insights from the RealiseAF Survey

Background

Atrial fibrillation can be categorized into nonpermanent and permanent atrial fibrillation. There is less information on permanent than on nonpermanent atrial fibrillation patients. This analysis aimed to describe the characteristics and current management, including the proportion of patients with successful atrial fibrillation control, of these atrial fibrillation subsets in a large, geographically diverse contemporary sample.

Methods and Results

Data from RealiseAF, an international, observational, cross-sectional survey of 10,491 patients with atrial fibrillation, were used to characterize permanent atrial fibrillation (N = 4869) and nonpermanent atrial fibrillation (N = 5622) patients. Permanent atrial fibrillation patients were older, had a longer time since atrial fibrillation diagnosis, a higher symptom burden, and were more likely to be physically inactive. They also had a higher mean (SD) CHADS₂ score (2.2 [1.3] vs. 1.7 [1.3], p<0.001), and a higher frequency of CHADS₂ score ≥2 (67.3% vs. 53.0%, p<0.001) and comorbidities, most notably heart failure. Physicians indicated using a rate-control strategy in 84.2% of permanent atrial fibrillation patients (vs. 27.5% in nonpermanent atrial fibrillation). Only 50.2% (N = 2262/4508) of permanent atrial fibrillation patients were controlled. These patients had a longer time since atrial fibrillation diagnosis, a lower symptom burden, less obesity and physical inactivity, less severe heart failure, and fewer hospitalizations for acute heart failure than uncontrolled permanent atrial fibrillation patients, but with more arrhythmic events. The most frequent causes of hospitalization in the last 12 months were acute heart failure and stroke.

Conclusion

Permanent atrial fibrillation is a high-risk subset of atrial fibrillation, representing half of all atrial fibrillation patients, yet rate control is only achieved in around half. Since control is associated with lower symptom burden and heart failure, adequate rate control is an important target for improving the management of permanent atrial fibrillation patients.     

Frequent Periodic Leg Movement During Sleep Is an Unrecognized Risk Factor for Progression of Atrial Fibrillation

Sleep apnea has been recognized as a factor predisposing to atrial fibrillation recurrence and progression. The effect of other sleep-disturbing conditions on atrial fibrillation progression is not known. We sought to determine whether frequent periodic leg movement during sleep is a risk factor for progression of atrial fibrillation. In this retrospective study, patients with atrial fibrillation and a clinical suspicion of restless legs syndrome who were referred for polysomnography were divided into two groups based on severity of periodic leg movement during sleep: frequent (periodic movement index >35/h) and infrequent (≤35/h). Progression of atrial fibrillation to persistent or permanent forms between the two groups was compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum test, chi-square tests and logistic regression analysis. Of 373 patients with atrial fibrillation (77% paroxysmal, 23% persistent), 108 (29%) progressed to persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation during follow-up (median, 33 months; interquartile range, 16-50). Compared to patients with infrequent periodic leg movement during sleep (n=168), patients with frequent periodic leg movement during sleep (n=205) had a higher rate of atrial fibrillation progression (23% vs. 34%; p=0.01). Patients with frequent periodic leg movement during sleep were older and predominantly male; however, there were no significant differences at baseline in clinical factors that promote atrial fibrillation progression between both groups. On multivariate analysis, independent predictors of atrial fibrillation progression were persistent atrial fibrillation at baseline, female gender, hypertension and frequent periodic leg movement during sleep. In patients with frequent periodic leg movement during sleep, dopaminergic therapy for control of leg movements in patients with restless legs syndrome reduced risk of atrial fibrillation progression. Frequent leg movement during sleep in patients with restless legs syndrome is associated with progression of atrial fibrillation to persistent and permanent forms.     

经食道超声心动图评估特发性房颤左心房左心耳的价值

目的:研究经食道超声心动图(TEE)评估特发性房颤左心房左心耳的临床价值。方法:选择自2015年1月到2016年8月在医院接受诊治的特发性房颤患者100例纳入本次研究,阵发性房颤92例,记为阵发性房颤组;持续性房颤8例,记为持续性房颤组。另选同期在医院进行健康体检的心功能正常志愿者90例作为对照组。利用TEE对受试者进行检查,对比房颤组与对照组的左心房及左心耳参数,是否含有自发性显影(LASEC)的房颤患者的左心房及左心耳参数,利用TEE分析对房颤患者的预后情况。结果:阵发性房颤组左心房的前后径和左右径,左心耳血流最大的排空速度(Lev)均明显小于对照组,左心耳的面积变化率及最大的充盈速度(Lfv)均明显大于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。持续性房颤组左心房的前后径和左右径均明显大于对照组,左心耳的面积变化率、Lev及Lfv均明显小于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。阵发性房颤组左心房的前后径和左右径均明显小于持续性房颤组,左心耳的面积变化率、Lev及Lfv均明显大于持续性房颤组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。有LASEC者左心房的前后径和左右径均明显大于无LASEC者,左心耳的面积变化率、Lev及Lfv均明显小于无LASEC者,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。100例房颤患者中发现34例LASEC,占34.00%,其中有18例患者合并有左心耳血栓,占18.00%。总计有66例患者接受导管射频消融疗法,占66.00%,均未在术中及术后7d内出现血栓及栓塞并发症。结论:利用TEE对特发性房颤的患者左心房及左心耳进行评估,有利于更好的辅助患者的临床治疗,值得重视。     

Late-onset thyrotoxicosis after the cessation of amiodarone

IntroductionAmiodarone is a highly effective antiarrhythmic-drug with well recognized toxic side-effects. The effects of the drug late in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is not well described.Methods and resultsWe present a single centre prospectively collected series of patients with thyrotoxicosis occurring late after the cessation of amiodarone. Between 2006 and 2018, 8 patients were identified with amiodarone induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT). Amiodarone was prescribed for AF in 7 patients and ventricular tachycardia in 1 patient. Mean duration of therapy was 329 [42–1092] days, mean dose of 200 ± 103.5 mg/day. Amiodarone use was short term (<140 days) in 4 of the 8 cases, with one treated for 42 days. Patients presented with symptoms including weight loss, tremors, palpitations, AF, sweats all indicative of AIT at a median of 347 [60–967] days post cessation. Thyroid function testing confirmed suppressed thyroid stimulating hormone and elevated T levels in all patients. Nuclear thyroid imaging in all cases demonstrated low uptake of iodine indicative of Type II AIT. All patients recovered following pharmaceutical treatment with Carbimazole and Prednisolone.ConclusionsWe describe a series of patients with late thyrotoxicosis after exposure to amiodarone. Our findings highlight the need for a high-index of clinical suspicion for AIT regardless of treatment duration or time after cessation of amiodarone.     

Relation between zinc, copper, and magnesium concentrations following cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting

Atrial fibrillation is the most frequently encountered arrhythmia following cardiac surgery. Since the essential trace elements zinc, copper, and magnesium are suspected to have an effect on postoperative atrial fibrillation, the concentrations of these elements were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry in the plasma of 60 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting. Blood samples were collected every 30 min during cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperatively. Plasma concentrations of copper, zinc, and magnesium were measured with flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. All patients were monitored by continuous electrocardiography until they became outpatients or immediately after atrial fibrillation had taken place. Atrial fibrillation occurred in 13 of the 60 patients, corresponding to 21.7%. The zinc and copper concentrations at postoperative days 1 and 3 were significantly different (P < 0.05) between patients with and without atrial fibrillation. The concentrations of zinc following cardiopulmonary bypass recovered more slowly in patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation than in patients without it. Whether or not supplemental zinc could lower the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation should be evaluated in future prospective randomized clinical trials.

目的:探讨心力衰竭合并房颤患者血浆脑钠肽水平变化及相关因素,为心血管疾病的临床诊断提供理论依据。方法:选取我院2011年1月-2013年1月收治的心力衰竭患者94例,分为窦性心律组和心房颤动组。分别抽取两组患者的血液样本并检测血浆中的BNP浓度,比较不同NYHA分级患者血浆内的脑钠肽水平的变化情况,记录左心房和左心室舒张末内径及房颤持续时间等。结果:心力衰竭合并心房颤动组与窦性心律组血浆BNP水平比较,心房颤动组高于窦性心律组;差异有统计学意义(P0.05);两组NYHA不同分级相互比较,Ⅱ级、Ⅲ级和Ⅳ级间的BNP水平,心房颤动组BNP水平均高于窦性心律组;差异显著具有统计学意义(P0.05);血浆BNP水平与患者年龄、左心房大小、左心室大小、房颤持续时间因素呈正相关(r分别为0.0.801,0.748,0.854和0.703,P0.05),与左心室射血分数呈负相关(r=-0.41,P0.05)。结论:BNP血浆浓度与心功能状态密切相关,BNP浓度的检测有助于临床心血管疾病的诊断。     

Atrial fibrillation after but not before primary angioplasty for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction of prognostic importance

Aim

In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it is uncertain whether atrial fibrillation has prognostic implications. There may be a difference between atrial fibrillation before and after reperfusion therapy.

Methods and results

In patients with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), ECGs were analysed before and after primary PCI. Of the 1623 patients with electrocardiographic data before primary PCI, 53 patients (3.3%) had atrial fibrillation. Patients with atrial fibrillation were older, were more often female, and less often had anterior MI location. Of the 1728 patients with electrocardiographic data after primary PCI, 52 patients (3.0%) had atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation was more common in older patients and in those with Killip class >1. Also patients with occlusion of the right coronary artery or TIMI flow 0 before primary PCI more commonly had AF after the procedure. Not successful reperfusion was also associated with a higher incidence of AF after primary PCI. Although both atrial fibrillation before and after primary PCI were associated with increased mortality, multivariable analyses, adjusting for differences in age, gender and Killip class on admission, revealed that atrial fibrillation after PCI (OR 3.69, 95% CI 1.87–7.29) but not before PCI (OR 1.86, 95% CI 0.89–3.90) was independent and statistically significantly associated with long-term mortality.

Conclusion

In patients with STEMI, atrial fibrillation after but not before primary PCI has independent prognostic implications. Possibly, atrial fibrillation after the PCI is a symptom of failed reperfusion and a sign of heart failure.     

Aortic Stiffness in Lone Atrial Fibrillation: A Novel Risk Factor for Arrhythmia Recurrence

Background

Recent community-based research has linked aortic stiffness to the development of atrial fibrillation. We posit that aortic stiffness contributes to adverse atrial remodeling leading to the persistence of atrial fibrillation following catheter ablation in lone atrial fibrillation patients, despite the absence of apparent structural heart disease. Here, we aim to evaluate aortic stiffness in lone atrial fibrillation patients and determine its association with arrhythmia recurrence following radio-frequency catheter ablation.

Methods

We studied 68 consecutive lone atrial fibrillation patients who underwent catheter ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation and 50 healthy age- and sex-matched community controls. We performed radial artery applanation tonometry to obtain central measures of aortic stiffness: pulse pressure, augmentation pressure and augmentation index. Following ablation, arrhythmia recurrence was monitored at months 3, 6, 9, 12 and 6 monthly thereafter.

Results

Compared to healthy controls, lone atrial fibrillation patients had significantly elevated peripheral pulse pressure, central pulse pressure, augmentation pressure and larger left atrial dimensions (all P<0.05). During a mean follow-up of 2.9±1.4 years, 38 of the 68 lone atrial fibrillation patients had atrial fibrillation recurrence after initial catheter ablation procedure. Neither blood pressure nor aortic stiffness indices differed between patients with and without atrial fibrillation recurrence. However, patients with highest levels (≥75^th percentile) of peripheral pulse pressure, central pulse pressure and augmentation pressure had higher atrial fibrillation recurrence rates (all P<0.05). Only central aortic stiffness indices were associated with lower survival free from atrial fibrillation using Kaplan-Meier analysis.

Conclusion

Aortic stiffness is an important risk factor in patients with lone atrial fibrillation and contributes to higher atrial fibrillation recurrence following catheter ablation procedure.     

Treatment of Cardiac Arrhythmias with Synchronized Electrical Counter-shock

Synchronized electrical countershock is an intriguing new method for the treatment of ectopic tachycardias. The authors applied this treatment to 20 patients with chronic atrial fibrillation and, in 17 patients, sinus rhythm was restored immediately. An additional four patients with atrial flutter were successfully converted to sinus rhythm. One patient developed a hemiplegia two weeks after cardioversion. No other untoward side effects were observed. In two patients with ventricular fibrillation electrical countershock terminated the arrhythmia. After successful cardioversion of atrial fibrillation, a maintenance dose of quinidine is given to help maintain sinus rhythm. In spite of this precaution, one-half of the patients reverted to atrial fibrillation within a month. The quinidine was administered for two to three days in advance of cardioversion; on this regimen, 10 of 34 patients reverted to sinus rhythm on quinidine alone and did not require countershock. The exact place of this treatment of cardiac arrhythmias has not yet been clearly defined.

Clinical Characteristics and Outcome of Thyroid Storm: A Case Series and Review of Neuropsychiatric Derangements in Thyrotoxicosis

ObjectiveThe objectives of this study were (1) to describe the presentation, demographics, and clinical course of patients admitted for thyroid storm, and (2) to identify factors associated with mortality.MethodsA retrospective review of subjects admitted to a single academic hospital from 2006 through 2011 was conducted. Medical records for all patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis were systematically reviewed for clinical features of thyroid storm.ResultsA total of 28 cases were identified. Thyroid storm was the first clinical presentation of thyrotoxicosis in 13 patients (46.4%). Noncompliance with treatment was a major trigger in previously diagnosed patients, followed by infection. The mortality rate was 25% in this series. Cardiac manifestations were predominant, with > 60% of patients having severe tachycardia (heart rate > 140 beats per minunte) and/or atrial fibrillation. Although central nervous system (CNS) involvement was less frequent (n = 8, 28.6%), CNS derangement of worse than mild severity was statistically associated with mortality (P = .021). There was good agreement between the Burch-Wartofsky Point Scale and Japanese Thyroid Association criteria in the diagnosis of thyroid storm in this study cohort.ConclusionThyroid storm was the first presentation of thyrotoxicosis in a significant proportion of patients, highlighting the importance of a high index of suspicion in an appropriate clinical context. The presence of neuropsychiatric manifestations appeared to portend greater risk of mortality. Prevailing evidence suggests that there are complex interactions between thyroid hormones and neurotransmitter circuits in the pathogenesis of CNS symptomology in thyrotoxicosis.

Abnormalities in pituitary thyroid axis function tests in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular arrhythmias

The study was carried out on 60 consecutive patients (23 males and 37 females) aged between 20 and 83 years (means +/- SD, 40.7 +/- 16) who arrived at our Cardiologic Unit with paroxysmal supraventricular arrhythmias (PSVA) including junctional paroxysmal tachycardia (n = 32), atrial fibrillation (n = 13), atrial flutter (n = 1), premature beats (n = 13) and with no obvious cardiovascular causes. Serum thyroxine and triiodothyronine were normal in all patients and thyroid scintiscan revealed normal shape and size thyroids without autonomously functioning nodule(s). Thyrotropin (TSH) response to thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) was normal in 44 subjects in whom normal serum free T4 (FT4) and free T3 (FT3) levels were measured. Six patients with normal FT4 and FT3 levels did not respond to TRH. Abnormalities in thyrotropin response to TRH were observed in 10 patients all exhibiting increased FT4 or also FT3 levels. Among these, 5 patients did not respond to TRH, whereas the remaining 5 exhibited a blunted TSH response to TRH. These results suggest that only in a small proportion (5/60) of consecutive patients with PSVA it is possible to recognize a status of "occult thyrotoxicosis" on the basis of the combined evaluation of free thyroid hormones and TSH response to TRH.     

Cryoablation in persistent atrial fibrillation – a critical appraisal

Ablation of atrial fibrillation is an established treatment for the management of patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation. The complex pathophysiology of persistent atrial fibrillation has fuelled the concept of adjunctive substrate modification on top of pulmonary vein isolation. However, recent studies have failed to demonstrate additive benefit from complex ablation approaches, thus supporting that standalone pulmonary vein isolation may prove sufficient, at least as the initial ablation strategy in persistent atrial fibrillation. In this premise, the new-generation cryoballoon is an attractive option in this demanding subgroup of patients due to its reliable efficacy in achieving pulmonary vein isolation combined with collateral debulking of the neighbouring atrial myocardium. In this review, we present a critical appraisal of the role of cryoablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, discussing related technical considerations and existing scientific evidence.     

2 型糖尿病合并高血压患者发生心房颤动的相关因素分析

目的:探讨2型糖尿病合并高血压住院患者发生心房颤动的相关因素。方法:选取我院收治的2型糖尿病合并高血压发生心房颤动的患者112例为研究对象(房颤组,n=112例),同期选取与房颤组年龄及性别相匹配的未发生房颤的2型糖尿病合并高血压患者150例为对照组(n=150例),比较两组患者的一般临床资料、实验室检查指标等的差异,用Logistic回归方程分析患者并发房颤的相关因素。结果:与对照组比较,房颤组患者收缩压(SBP)较高,高血压比例高、服用ACEI/ARB类药物偏低(P0.05)、左室射血分数(LVEF)偏低(P0.05)、左房内径(LAD)长(P0.05)、甘油三酯(TC)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、血肌酐(Scr)、B型脑钠肽(BNP)、高敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)、尿酸均较高(P0.05);多因素Logistic回归方程分析提示:LAD、HbA1c、BNP、hs-CRP、尿酸是患者并发房颤的独立危险因素(P0.05),而服用ACEI/ARB类药物为保护性因素。结论:LAD、HbA1c、BNP、hs-CRP、尿酸均可能是2型糖尿病合并高血压患者发生心房颤动的独立危险因素。     

Ablation surgery for atrial fibrillation: "freeze it or buzz it; just do it and cure it"

Patients in normal sinus rhythm have lesser stroke rate, better functional class and quality of life than those in atrial fibrillation. Adding a surgical procedure to cure atrial fibrillation in patients needing correction of structural heart disease has been shown to be a safe option, which benefits the majority in restoration of sinus rhythm. Age is no bar to implement this option. The same does not hold true for lone atrial fibrillation. The affirm trial has shown that there is need for improved treatment strategies for patients in atrial fibrillation, although young patients were not represented in sizable proportion. There is need to develop curative treatment for patients with lone atrial fibrillation. And there are technological advances in the form of ablative energy sources and hardware for applying these with minimal invasion. "Between tomorrow's dream and yesterday's regret is today's opportunity". Let's make the best of it!     

Effect of Propranolol on Exercise Tolerance of Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Six patients with atrial fibrillation who were taking digitalis were exercised before and after 30 mg. of propranolol twice daily. Though there was a lower pulse rate at rest and on exercise in all patients, three suffered deterioration of exercise tolerance. It is concluded that propranolol does not improve the exercise tolerance of patients with atrial fibrillation whose resting ventricular rate is controlled with digitalis.     

Atrial fibrillation and delayed gastric emptying

Background

Atrial fibrillation and delayed gastric emptying (DGE) are common after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Our aim was to investigate a potential relationship between atrial fibrillation and DGE, which we defined as failure to tolerate a regular diet by the 7^th postoperative day.

Methods

We performed a retrospective chart review of 249 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at our institution between 2000 and 2009. Data was analyzed with Fisher exact test for categorical variables and Mann-Whitney U or unpaired T-test for continuous variables.

Results

Approximately 5% of the 249 patients included in the analysis experienced at least one episode of postoperative atrial fibrillation. Median age of patients with atrial fibrillation was 74 years, compared with 66 years in patients without atrial fibrillation (p = 0.0005). Patients with atrial fibrillation were more likely to have a history of atrial fibrillation (p = 0.03). 92% of the patients with atrial fibrillation suffered from DGE, compared to 46% of patients without atrial fibrillation (p = 0.0007). This association held true when controlling for age.

Conclusion

Patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation are more likely to experience delayed gastric emptying. Interventions to manage delayed gastric function might be prudent in patients at high risk for postoperative atrial fibrillation.
