Abstract—Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, is an important contributor to population morbidity and mortality. An arrhythmia that is particularly common in the elderly, AF is growing in prevalence with the aging of the population. Sep 1, · Atrial fibrillation (AF), a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, carries significant clinical implications, impacting the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications. The pathophysiology of AF centers around 4 general types of disturbances that promote ectopic firing and reentrant mechanisms, and include the following: (1) ion channel dysfunction, (2) Ca2+-handling abnormalities, (3) structural remodeling, and (4) autonomic neural dysregulation. • Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia affecting up to 1% of the general population: its prevalence reaches up to ∼10% in the elderly. • AF insurgence depends on intertwined genetic and epigenetic causes. • The risk of AF is significantly lower in non-White races and ethnicities (including.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
