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

Antiplatelet and Anticoagulation Therapy in ACS
Author(s): Colin T Phillips , Michael C Gavin Added: 3 years ago
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) occurs most often when a vulnerable intracoronary plaque ruptures or erodes to expose a prothrombotic core, precipitating thrombus formation by way of platelet activation,1–3 The spectrum of ACS includes non-ST segment-elevation (NSTE) ACS, where a vulnerable plaque threatens downstream coronary perfusion manifest as an increase in symptom frequency and/or duration … View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained, medically significant, and troublesome arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. AF has been associated with decreased quality of life (symptoms), serious morbidity (thromboemboli and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy), and increased risk of mortality. Several articles1,2 have reviewed this arrthymia in depth including its presentations,… View more

There are about 65 million Americans (or 20–25% of the population) with hypertension.As a top line figure that is probably a little low as it uses the rather strict definition of high blood pressure as being 140 over 90.Hypertension is also very strongly age-related, and as we get older that frequency goes up a lot. Essentially, 95% of Americans will be hypertensive in their lifetime. It is a… View more
