Meanings of persistent af in English

Methods: AT occurring after persistent AF ablation were investigated in 74 consecutive patients.

Fifty-seven patients had paroxysmal AF and 23 early persistent AF.

Methods: Consecutive patients with persistent AF, refractory at a first DC cardioversion, were prospectively included.

Significantly decreased serum omentin-1 concentrations were observed in persistent AF patients compared to paroxysmal AF patients.

In patients with paroxysmal AF, Hsp27 expression was significantly increased compared to SR and persistent AF.

Results: Seventy-seven percent of patients were affected by paroxysmal AF and 23% by persistent AF.

Differences between paroxysmal and patients with persistent AF were compared using Pearson χ2 and Wilcoxon rank-sumtests.

In patients with persistent AF, there was no difference in the efficacy between CBA-2G or RFA-CF techniques.

Hsp27 levels correlated inversely with the duration of paroxysmal and persistent AF and the extent of myolysis.

We sought to describe the electrophysiological characteristics of localized reentry occurring after ablation of long-lasting persistent AF.

Conclusion: Careful analysis of CS recordings during AT following persistent AF ablation often reveals disparate patterns of activation.

In addition, LA intra-atrial dyssynchrony was significantly greater in patients with persistent AF than those with paroxysmal AF.

Conclusion: Among patients with persistent AF, the computational modeling-guided ablation was superior to the empirical catheter ablation regarding the rhythm outcome.

Local inflammation assessed by atrial tissue localization of C-reactive protein is more likely involved in paroxysmal rather than in persistent AF.

Accumulating data have shown that elimination of atrial fibrillation (AF) sources should be the goal in persistent AF ablation.

Data show that the dominant frequency (DF) increase during transition to persistent AF may be explained by rotor acceleration.
