Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rhythm disturbance of the atria that results in irregular, chaotic, ventricular waveforms, varying from bradyarrhythmia to tachyarrhythmia. Essentially, all forms of AF therapy can be divided into two categories - restoration and maintenance of normal sinus rhythm, or control of the ventricular rate while permitting on-going fibrillation of the atria. Although… View more

Aspirin and Statins to Decrease Risks of Cardiovascular Disease - The Need for Wider Utilization
Author(s): Charles H Hennekens , Danielle Hollar , Arthur S Agatston Added: 3 years ago
While the proximate cause of virtually all acute cardiovascular disease (CVD) syndromes is thrombosis, the principal underlying cause is atherosclerosis. With respect to aspirin, in basic research this drug irrepressibly acetylates the active site of cyclo-oxygenase in platelets which inhibits thromboxane A2, a powerful promoter of aggregation. In randomized trials of secondary prevention and… View more
