2. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

   Fatty infiltration helps explain why obesity is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation in one fifth of patients. [62] Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of heart failure by 11 per 1000, kidney problems by 6 per 1000, death by 4 per 1000, stroke by 3 per 1000, and coronary heart disease by 1 per 1000. [161]

3. Atrial Fibrillation Association - Wikipedia

   Sign Against Stroke - Patient organisations from twenty countries produced the Global Atrial Fibrillation Charter. [7] Launched at the World Heart Federation, World Congress of Cardiology Scientific Sessions in Dubai on 18 April 2012. The aim of the charter is to turn the world's attention to atrial fibrillation and AF-related stroke. [citation ...

4. Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia-induced_cardio...

   For TIC due to atrial fibrillation, rate control, rhythm control, and RF catheter ablation can be effective to control the tachyarrhythmia and improve left ventricular systolic function. [ 5 ] [ 9 ] For TIC due to atrial flutter, rate control is often difficult to achieve, and RF catheter ablation has a relatively high success rate with a low ...

5. CHA2DS2–VASc score - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHA2DS2–VASc_score

   risk of stroke (for non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation) The CHADS 2 score and its updated version, the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score , are clinical prediction rules for estimating the risk of stroke in people with non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation (AF), a common and serious heart arrhythmia associated with thromboembolic stroke.

6. Palpitations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpitations

   The cardiac etiologies of palpitations are the most life-threatening and include ventricular sources (premature ventricular contractions (PVC), ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation), atrial sources (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter) high output states (anemia, AV fistula, Paget's disease of bone or pregnancy), structural ...

7. Holiday heart syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday_heart_syndrome

   Holiday heart syndrome, also known as alcohol-induced atrial arrhythmias, is a syndrome defined by an irregular heartbeat and palpitations [1] associated with high levels of ethanol consumption. [2] Holiday heart syndrome was discovered in 1978 when Philip Ettinger discovered the connection between arrhythmia and alcohol consumption. [ 3 ]
