December 31, 2006 Does atrial fibrillation become more prevalent with increasing age? Yes. Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia in adults. Its incidence and prevalence increase progressively with age. Atrial fibrillation associated morbidity and mortality also increase with age. Does asymptomatic atrial fibrillation increase the risk of stroke? Yes. Asymptomatic atrial fibrillation markedly increases the risk of stroke and embolic risk to other organs, including the lower extremities and gut. As such, aggressive treatment is warranted in order to avoid the potentially devastating sequelae of untreated atrial fibrillation.

December 31, 2006 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. AF is paroxysmal or persistent and becomes permanent when it does not convert to a (regular) sinus rhythm spontaneously or when attempted electrical cardioversion fails. Corticosteroids may cause atrial fibrillation - www.farrin.com for more information - corticosteroids cause atrial fibrillation (AF) - injury attorneys - stroke and atrial fibrillation
by The DiagnosisHeart.com Physician Team regarding in
December 31, 2006 The prevalence of AF is 0.4% in the general population and increases with age up to 6-8% in patients over the age of 80. In men, the age-adjusted prevalence is generally higher than in women.What causes thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation? During AF, synchronous mechanical atrial contraction is disturbed, resulting in hemodynamic impairment. This can give rise to clot formation and embolism to the systemic circulation. Such clot associated with AF arises most frequently in the appendage of the left atrium. Cerebrovascular emboli in AF patients most often manifest as transient ischaemic attacks (mini strokes) or ischaemic strokes. www.farrin.com represents patients who have taken corticosteroids and developed complications from atrial fibrillation.

by The DiagnosisHeart.com Physician Team regarding in
December 31, 2006 The overall rate of ischaemic stroke among patients with AF averages 5% per year, but the rate increases with age. Patients with AF are at higher risk of cerebrovascular events from all causes. Of all strokes, one in every six occurs in patients with AF. Including transient ischaemic attacks and silent strokes detected radiographically, the overall rate of all cerebrovascular events in AF patients rises to more than 7% per year. www.farrin.com represents patients who have atrial fibrillation due to corticosteroid use. click on the link below to go to their website.

December 31, 2006 Imagine being able to measure your risk for a heart attack by getting a simple CT scan. Electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) is a new technology that promises to help diagnose people with coronary artery disease AND estimate their likelihood of getting a stroke or heart attack. You may have heard advertisements for EBCT on the radio. But is this new technology right for you? EBCT uses an electron beam to create images of your heart and its vessels (the coronary arteries). Specifically, it highlights areas within the coronary arteries with deposits of calcium. In a normal, healthy heart, calcium will not be present within these pliable arteries. However, in a heart affected by atherosclerosis, calcium deposits will often form. Atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arteries due to an accumulation of plaque. This plaque is composed of fat, cholesterol, calcium, fibrin, and cell debris. If plaque in the coronary arteries accumulates, breaks off, or causes a clot to form, a heart attack or stroke may result.

December 31, 2006 How does an ex-professional athlete like Bill Bradley have a heart condition? It is extremely unlikely that he had atrial fibrillation when he was playing basketball and that he developed atrial fibrillation later on in his life. Bill Bradley was campaigning on December 12, 1999 when he cancelled an appearance and went to a hospital in Redwood City, California for examination. The Bradley campaign team released a letter from Bradley's doctors who stated that he had "lone" atrial fibrillation, unassociated with an underlying disorder of the heart, such as coronary artery disease. The letter also stated that in Bill Bradley's case, the condition "does not, in any way, interfere with [his] ability to function." injury attorneys and stroke

December 31, 2006 According to the NIH website, "it is of great importance for physicians to know that it is not only asbestos or insulation workers who are at increased risk of developing asbestos-related disease, but workers in any trade who were employed in shipyards, even executives and secretaries, and also the families of shipyard workers who were in the past exposed to the dust the worker brought home on his clothing. Although the incidence of asbestos-related disease is somewhat proportional to the degree and length of exposure, cases of mesothelioma have now appeared in people exposed for as little as one month many years ago." www.diagnosisheart.com - Dr karamanoukian - mesothelioma injury - asbestosis injury - mesothelioma injury attorneys - injury asbestos

December 31, 2006 VSD is one of the most common heart defects seen in children. About 9000 babies are born in the United States each year with VSD. The ventricles are the lower chambers of the heart. Their purpose is to pump blood out to the body and to the lungs. There is a right and a left chamber, separated by a wall, called the ventricular septum. A VSD is a hole in this wall. Blood flows through this hole from the left into the right chamber. This results in too much blood going to the lungs, which are supplied by the right ventricle. If the defect is severe, this can lead to disease in the arteries supplying the lungs, known as Eisenmenger complex. Congestive heart failure can also be caused by VSD as the heart has to work very hard to overcome the increased pressures caused by the defect = VSD and ASD associated with use of antidepressants during pregnancy - omkury lawyer = paxil

December 2, 2006 Heart failure is characterized by an underlying insult or disease state that reduces the ability of the primary pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle, to provide enough oxygenated blood to meet the demands of the body. When a decrease in pumping capacity occurs, the human heart typically increases in size, as the body tries to compensate for the decreased blood flow. This makes the heart even less efficient, and the diseased heart continues to grow. As a part of this process, fluid that is normally handled through the vascular system backs up, or accumulates in body tissues, further increasing the load on the diseased heart - www.paracor.com new device for heart failure - www.diagnosisheart.com veinsveinsveins.com

The findings showed there is a very small risk of a blood clot—also called a stent thrombosis—developing in some patients who have drug-eluting stents after one year. Note that there is also a very small risk of a blood clot developing with bare-metal stents. At four years of follow up, patients with a Boston Scientific drug-eluting stent showed no increase in heart attack and the same chance of survival compared to patients with bare-metal stents. drug-eluting stents are both safe and highly effective for patients when used according to the packaging directions" - Dr karamanoukian and DiagnosisHeart.com
