Widely Used Heart Drug Tied to Dementia Risk 2016-05-05T04:00:00Z "We found a significant relationship between atrial fibrillation and cancer," said lead researcher Dr. David Conen, of the University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland. Common Abnormal Heart Rhythm Linked to Cancer Risk 2016-05-25T04:00:00Z The researchers said the episode raised the possibility Tasers could contribute to fibrillation by capturing the heart. Special Report: The garage science behind the stun gun that changed policing 2017-09-20T04:00:00Z In the U.S. alone, nearly 3 million people are living with atrial fibrillation. Treat Heart Rhythm Disorders With Exercise 2016-05-05T04:00:00Z The sleep disorder is a known risk factor for atrial fibrillation, but the risk for pacemaker patients with sleep apnea was unclear, the study authors said. Sleep Apnea May Raise Heart Risks in People With Pacemakers 2016-05-05T04:00:00Z And that was true not only for people with atrial fibrillation, but also for those using warfarin for other reasons. Widely Used Heart Drug Tied to Dementia Risk 2016-05-05T04:00:00Z During the follow-up period, 4 percent of the women developed atrial fibrillation and about 15 percent were diagnosed with cancer, the investigators found. Common Abnormal Heart Rhythm Linked to Cancer Risk 2016-05-25T04:00:00Z Burton asked: Did the company ever induce fibrillation in the heart of a test animal with a standard Taser? Special Report: The garage science behind the stun gun that changed policing 2017-09-20T04:00:00Z Heart failure is a common risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Race May Influence Risk for Irregular Heart Beat 2016-05-05T04:00:00Z Severe sleep apnea was diagnosed in 85 patients, including 56 with no history of atrial fibrillation. Sleep Apnea May Raise Heart Risks in People With Pacemakers 2016-05-05T04:00:00Z The findings are based on records from over 10,000 patients who were on warfarin for atrial fibrillation or to prevent blood clots from other causes. Widely Used Heart Drug Tied to Dementia Risk 2016-05-05T04:00:00Z The increased risk was higher within three months after developing atrial fibrillation, but the risk persisted over the long term, and an increased risk of dying from cancer was also seen, according to the study. Common Abnormal Heart Rhythm Linked to Cancer Risk 2016-05-25T04:00:00Z It showed that shocks to the chest triggered extra heartbeats, a phenomenon known as capture, as well as the more dangerous ventricular fibrillation, but only when more than a standard jolt was applied. Special Report: The garage science behind the stun gun that changed policing 2017-09-20T04:00:00Z In the study, Bjorck's team tracked data from more than 40,000 people in Sweden with atrial fibrillation who took warfarin. Warfarin Can Be Safe, Effective for People With Irregular Heartbeat 2016-04-20T04:00:00Z "Our results are the first to show that patients with pacemakers and sleep apnea are at a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation," Mazza said. Sleep Apnea May Raise Heart Risks in People With Pacemakers 2016-05-05T04:00:00Z Those people were more likely than the others to develop atrial fibrillation, an increased risk that lasted for about a year. Death of a partner can have a physical impact on your heart 2016-04-11T04:00:00Z Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of abnormal heartbeat, and is associated with an increased risk of stroke and other heart problems, the study authors noted. Common Abnormal Heart Rhythm Linked to Cancer Risk 2016-05-25T04:00:00Z I have emphasized in many of my medical papers that being heavier increases the risk of coronary heart disease, as well as other cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Are There Health Benefits to Being Overweight? 2016-04-11T04:00:00Z The study authors explained that atrial fibrillation raises a person's risk of stroke. Warfarin Can Be Safe, Effective for People With Irregular Heartbeat 2016-04-20T04:00:00Z A new study finds that people whose partner dies are at a significantly higher risk for atrial fibrillation, or irregular heart beat, and that the effects are lasting. How Heartbreak Can Hurt Your Actual Heart 2016-04-08T04:00:00Z In addition, those whose partners were relatively healthy in the month before they died were 57 percent more likely to develop atrial fibrillation. Death of Loved One May Trigger Heart Rhythm Trouble 2016-04-06T04:00:00Z Conen's team said that atrial fibrillation was a significant risk factor for cancer, even after taking other risk factors into account. Common Abnormal Heart Rhythm Linked to Cancer Risk 2016-05-25T04:00:00Z The typical treatment for atrial fibrillation is blood thinners to prevent strokes, Magnani said. Common Irregular Heartbeat May Hamper Seniors' Walking Ability 2016-04-05T04:00:00Z He was in the hospital a few extra days because he had atrial fibrillation — an irregular heartbeat — and is on a course of three rehabilitation sessions a week for 12 weeks. Recuperating Los Angeles Kings announcer Bob Miller aiming to return next season 2016-03-28T04:00:00Z The team looked at a national registry in Denmark of 88,600 people who were diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. How Heartbreak Can Hurt Your Actual Heart 2016-04-08T04:00:00Z "Many patients describe that their atrial fibrillation gets worse at a time of emotional stress," Estes said. Death of Loved One May Trigger Heart Rhythm Trouble 2016-04-06T04:00:00Z In supervised learning, you give it the raw data, but you also give it the right answer—whether the person was in normal rhythm or atrial fibrillation. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z The physical decline associated with atrial fibrillation was equivalent to about four years of aging, the researchers said. Common Irregular Heartbeat May Hamper Seniors' Walking Ability 2016-04-05T04:00:00Z Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said there is overwhelming evidence that blood thinners benefit atrial fibrillation patients at moderate to high risk of stroke. Many With Irregular Heartbeat Missing Out on Stroke-Preventing Treatments 2016-03-16T04:00:00Z Researchers examined data from nearly 32,000 U.S. veterans, aged 75 and older, with a common heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation. Brain Bleed Risk From Warfarin May Be Higher Than Thought 2016-03-09T05:00:00Z People younger than 60 were more than twice as likely to develop atrial fibrillation if they lost their partner, the new study reported. Death of Loved One May Trigger Heart Rhythm Trouble 2016-04-06T04:00:00Z We have a lot of Apple Watch data, but we don’t have a very efficient way of figuring out what is normal rhythm and what is atrial fibrillation. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z These findings don't prove a cause-and-effect link between atrial fibrillation and declining physical performance, only that there's an association, Magnani said. Common Irregular Heartbeat May Hamper Seniors' Walking Ability 2016-04-05T04:00:00Z One-quarter of all Americans over age 40 are at risk for developing atrial fibrillation at some point in their lives, the study authors noted. Many With Irregular Heartbeat Missing Out on Stroke-Preventing Treatments 2016-03-16T04:00:00Z Two experts agreed that finding the right balance -- between preventing clots but not raising bleeding rates -- has always been tough when it comes to treating atrial fibrillation. Brain Bleed Risk From Warfarin May Be Higher Than Thought 2016-03-09T05:00:00Z Some studies show a higher incidence of atrial fibrillation in endurance athletes compared with less-extreme exercisers. Can exercising too hard kill you? 2016-02-22T05:00:00Z What we expect from launching this study is that there will be a large number of people who sign up without atrial fibrillation. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z The findings in this study "suggest that atrial fibrillation may contribute to age-related declines in physical performance," said Fonarow, who was not involved with the research. Common Irregular Heartbeat May Hamper Seniors' Walking Ability 2016-04-05T04:00:00Z “Medicines for cases with atrial fibrillation are just not found anywhere,” said Dr. Mostafa Ahmed, a heart surgeon at Nasser Institute Hospital. Egypt Suffers From Shortage of Dollars 2016-02-01T05:00:00Z To help find out, his team tracked outcomes between 2002 and 2012 for the population of elderly veterans, who all took warfarin for atrial fibrillation. Brain Bleed Risk From Warfarin May Be Higher Than Thought 2016-03-09T05:00:00Z The cause was complications from atrial fibrillation, said a niece, Caroline Ely. Washington-area obituaries of note 2016-01-27T05:00:00Z This is why in the mRhythm study, we’re inviting everyone with an Apple Watch to contribute—regardless of whether or not you have atrial fibrillation. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z Atrial fibrillation is a stronger risk factor for stroke, heart disease, heart failure and death in women than it is in men, according to an analysis published online Jan. 19 in the BMJ. Irregular Heart Beat May Pose Bigger Threat to Women 2016-01-19T05:00:00Z About a year and a half ago, the doctor diagnosed Mr. Sinclair with atrial fibrillation and sent him to a cardiologist. Is an Annual Physical Necessary? 2016-01-18T05:00:00Z The study found that rates of traumatic intracranial bleeding among seniors with atrial fibrillation was higher than previously reported. Brain Bleed Risk From Warfarin May Be Higher Than Thought 2016-03-09T05:00:00Z Some of the studies found that statin use reduced the likelihood of irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation. Statins May Help, Not Hinder, Heart Bypass Recovery 1458-06-29T05:00:00Z Part of why we’re choosing atrial fibrillation as a first application is that it’s more tolerant to error than some of the other cardiology applications. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z In any case, all three experts recommended that women with atrial fibrillation should focus on improving their health by exercising, eating right, managing their stress and controlling their blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Irregular Heart Beat May Pose Bigger Threat to Women 2016-01-19T05:00:00Z Ventricular fibrillation is a condition where the lower chambers quiver, preventing the heart from pumping blood and causing cardiac arrest, the American Heart Association notes. Lowering Body Temperature May Help Cardiac Arrest Patients 2015-11-16T05:00:00Z Partners, which includes Massachusetts General Hospital, is testing apps to help patients with atrial fibrillation manage blood-thinner medication, oral chemotherapy regimens and moderate to severe cancer pain. Doctors Prescribe New Apps to Manage Medical Conditions 2015-11-09T05:00:00Z The first study included more than 400 patients treated with cardiac ablation for atrial fibrillation. Weight Loss May Help Control Common Irregular Heartbeat 2015-11-08T05:00:00Z Unlike a heart attack, if you’re in atrial fibrillation, you don’t necessarily have to call an ambulance. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z For more on atrial fibrillation, visit the U.S. Irregular Heart Beat May Pose Bigger Threat to Women 2016-01-19T05:00:00Z At 18, she had a defibrillator implanted, and at 32, after giving birth to twins, developed atrial fibrillation, a disorder that causes an irregular heartbeat. Inside the 50-year-quest to build a mechanical heart 2015-11-04T05:00:00Z The settlement involves a type of device that detects and treats extremely fast, life-threatening heart rhythms, called fibrillations, by delivering a shock to the heart, the Justice Department said. Hospitals Fined $250 Million Over Cardiac Devices 2015-10-30T04:00:00Z The study revealed that atrial fibrillation recurrence after cardiac ablation dropped along with patients' BMI. Weight Loss May Help Control Common Irregular Heartbeat 2015-11-08T05:00:00Z It would be great if when someone has a condition, like atrial fibrillation, that they’re notified of it so they can go get treatment. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z But women with atrial fibrillation are twice as likely to suffer a stroke than men with the condition are, researchers concluded after reviewing evidence from 30 studies involving 4.3 million patients. Irregular Heart Beat May Pose Bigger Threat to Women 2016-01-19T05:00:00Z "Atrial fibrillation that occurs after cardiac surgery is a short-term problem, that is, about one week, so a single injection should be sufficient," he said. Botox Might Prevent Irregular Heartbeat After Bypass Surgery 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z “We believe this findings may be relevant to other forms of atrial fibrillation,” he said in a written response to questions. Botox After Bypass Surgery Evens Out Heart Rhythms 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z Subsequent tests showed the heart problem, atrial fibrillation, was from an overactive thyroid. Letter From Physician Attests to Jeb Bush’s Health 2015-10-15T04:00:00Z To that end, they’ve begun collecting data from people with atrial fibrillation with the help of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z Dr. Christopher Granger, a cardiologist at Duke University in Durham, N.C., agreed that atrial fibrillation might not be as easy to recognize in women as in men. Irregular Heart Beat May Pose Bigger Threat to Women 2016-01-19T05:00:00Z The technique might eventually help other patients whose atrial fibrillation is unrelated to surgery, Steinberg said. Botox Might Prevent Irregular Heartbeat After Bypass Surgery 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z The investigators found no link between drinking coffee and atrial fibrillation in any of the studies. Coffee May Not Risk Irregular Heartbeat, Study Claims 2015-09-23T04:00:00Z For more on atrial fibrillation, visit the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute website. Secondhand Smoke in Pregnancy, Youth Tied to Irregular Heartbeat Years Later 2015-09-01T04:00:00Z To train their software, they’ve collected data from 20 patients with medically diagnosed atrial fibrillation and 500 million data points from 10,000 people who are already using the Cardiogram app. New Study Seeks to Use Deep Learning to Detect Heart Disease 2016-03-17T04:00:00Z However, Granger added that a worse problem is a lack of proper treatment for both women and men with atrial fibrillation. Irregular Heart Beat May Pose Bigger Threat to Women 2016-01-19T05:00:00Z In the first 30 days after surgery, 7 percent of those who got the Botox developed atrial fibrillation compared to 30 percent of those given saline, the investigators found. Botox Might Prevent Irregular Heartbeat After Bypass Surgery 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z They also suggested that more research should be done confirming that there isn't a relationship between atrial fibrillation and coffee drinking. Coffee May Not Risk Irregular Heartbeat, Study Claims 2015-09-23T04:00:00Z "The link to atrial fibrillation is unexpected, particularly because the risk begins to rise even as the baby is developing in the mother's womb," Samaan said. Secondhand Smoke in Pregnancy, Youth Tied to Irregular Heartbeat Years Later 2015-09-01T04:00:00Z And, it shows that for most atrial fibrillation patients, bridging with heparin is unnecessary, Ortel said. Most Don't Need 'Bridging' When They Stop Warfarin Temporarily 2015-08-26T04:00:00Z Emdin said that another explanation might be that "atrial fibrillation in women may be more severe than atrial fibrillation in men, on average, and thereby cause death and cardiovascular disease at a higher rate." Irregular Heart Beat May Pose Bigger Threat to Women 2016-01-19T05:00:00Z The apparent cause was ventricular fibrillation, said a son, Brandon Beavers. Robert M. Beavers Jr., executive with McDonald’s, dies at 71 2015-08-25T04:00:00Z Sanders' team also found that for every increase in "metabolic equivalent" -- a measure of the amount of oxygen used at rest -- the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence was reduced 20 percent. Exercise May Be Good Medicine for Irregular Heartbeat 2015-08-24T04:00:00Z Atrial fibrillation is a common type of irregular heart rate in which the heart beats too fast, too slow or irregularly, according to the U.S. Secondhand Smoke in Pregnancy, Youth Tied to Irregular Heartbeat Years Later 2015-09-01T04:00:00Z The findings suggest that bridging is unnecessary for most atrial fibrillation patients, Ortel said, but there are some who still might benefit. Most Don't Need 'Bridging' When They Stop Warfarin Temporarily 2015-08-26T04:00:00Z Atrial fibrillation, the irregular heartbeat known as "A-fib," can lead to formation of clots in the heart which can eventually dislodge and travel to the blood vessels of the brain, causing a stroke. What You Should Know About Ischemic Stroke 2015-07-08T04:00:00Z For more about atrial fibrillation, visit the U.S. White Men May Get Better Treatment for Abnormal Heartbeat 2015-06-30T04:00:00Z Dr. Paul Thompson, chief of cardiology at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut, said that exercise is a good way to reduce the chances of developing atrial fibrillation in the first place. Exercise May Be Good Medicine for Irregular Heartbeat 2015-08-24T04:00:00Z Atrial fibrillation is a known risk factor for stroke and blood clots because when the heart beats irregularly, it allows blood to pool and clots to form. COPD Raises Cardiac Death Risk for Those With Irregular Heartbeat 2015-05-20T04:00:00Z Atrial fibrillation was detected in 185 recordings and in 11 percent of the participants, according to the study scheduled for presentation Friday at the annual meeting of the Heart Rhythm Society, in Boston. Using 'Heartphone' to Detect Cardiac Irregularity 2015-05-15T04:00:00Z So why would earlier menopause potentially lower the risk of atrial fibrillation? Early Menopause Tied to Lower Risk of Irregular Heartbeat 2015-05-15T04:00:00Z Atrial fibrillation is common in the United States, affecting about 5 percent of people 65 and older, the researchers said. White Men May Get Better Treatment for Abnormal Heartbeat 2015-06-30T04:00:00Z For the study, Sanders and colleagues assigned 308 patients with atrial fibrillation to one of three groups based on their level of fitness: low, adequate, or high fitness. Exercise May Be Good Medicine for Irregular Heartbeat 2015-08-24T04:00:00Z For the study, researchers looked at more than 18,000 people with atrial fibrillation. COPD Raises Cardiac Death Risk for Those With Irregular Heartbeat 2015-05-20T04:00:00Z Among women, the risk of an atrial fibrillation episode was reduced by 24 percent for those who engaged in moderate exercise, and by 15 percent with vigorous exercise. How Safe Is Exercise for Those With Common Irregular Heartbeat? 2015-05-15T04:00:00Z But if age at menopause is a factor in the development of atrial fibrillation, that might help doctors zero in on patients who are at relatively greater risk, according to Wong. Early Menopause Tied to Lower Risk of Irregular Heartbeat 2015-05-15T04:00:00Z Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia. White Men May Get Better Treatment for Abnormal Heartbeat 2015-06-30T04:00:00Z Only 7 percent of the patients who received Botox went on to experience atrial fibrillation during the pivotal one-to-three-week period following surgery. Botox: An Rx for Irregular Heartbeat After Cardiac Surgery? 2015-05-14T04:00:00Z In March, Amgen reported the discovery of a new mutation that increases the risk of Alzheimer's and confirmed the role of two mutations involved in diabetes and atrial fibrillation. How DNA sequencing is transforming the hunt for new drugs 2015-05-13T04:00:00Z In men, moderate exercise reduced the risk of an atrial fibrillation episode by 19 percent, but vigorous exercise raised the risk by 90 percent. How Safe Is Exercise for Those With Common Irregular Heartbeat? 2015-05-15T04:00:00Z But he said that, in general, the risk factors for heart disease and atrial fibrillation are complex -- and "sometimes divergent." Early Menopause Tied to Lower Risk of Irregular Heartbeat 2015-05-15T04:00:00Z "Being that women are at a greater risk of stroke with atrial fibrillation, this inequality in care is putting women at risk," she said. White Men May Get Better Treatment for Abnormal Heartbeat 2015-06-30T04:00:00Z Also, slightly more than one-quarter of the non-Botox group experienced recurring bouts of atrial fibrillation during the 11 months following surgery. Botox: An Rx for Irregular Heartbeat After Cardiac Surgery? 2015-05-14T04:00:00Z "There are better drugs for many patients, for instance in those who receive the drug for atrial fibrillation," he said, which include beta blockers and calcium channel blockers. Heart Drug Digoxin May Not Be Best for Some Heart Patients 2015-05-05T04:00:00Z She believes that "this gender-based approach is particularly important in atrial fibrillation, which is a significantly more dangerous condition in women than men." How Safe Is Exercise for Those With Common Irregular Heartbeat? 2015-05-15T04:00:00Z "It's been shown that the grand majority of strokes that occur because of atrial fibrillation happen because a small blood clot forms in the left atrial appendage," he said. Device May Pose Dangers for Patients With Irregular Heartbeat: Study 2015-05-04T04:00:00Z For these patients, it doesn’t matter whether they receive the most appropriate atrial fibrillation medication. MedidataVoice: Clinical Trials In The Real World 2015-05-04T04:00:00Z In contrast, none of the Botox patients experienced atrial fibrillation during the same time frame. Botox: An Rx for Irregular Heartbeat After Cardiac Surgery? 2015-05-14T04:00:00Z "However, patients with atrial fibrillation should not alter their medications without speaking to their physician and carefully weighing the risk and benefits of the different options available," he advised. Heart Drug Digoxin May Not Be Best for Some Heart Patients 2015-05-05T04:00:00Z "COPD is also associated with cardiac arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation," he added. COPD Tied to Raised Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death 2015-04-29T04:00:00Z The study also calls into question the mechanism linking atrial fibrillation with higher stroke risk, says a team reporting the findings April 27 in the Journal of the American Heart Association. MRI May Help Gauge Stroke Risk in Those With Irregular Heartbeat 2015-04-27T04:00:00Z But the majority of atrial fibrillation patients don’t receive any medication. MedidataVoice: Clinical Trials In The Real World 2015-05-04T04:00:00Z His team's main goal: to test Botox's effectiveness at lowering the risk of atrial fibrillation during the critical one-to-three week period immediately following surgery. Botox: An Rx for Irregular Heartbeat After Cardiac Surgery? 2015-05-14T04:00:00Z For the study, Hohnloser and colleagues analyzed 19 previously published studies that looked at the connection between digoxin use and death from atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Heart Drug Digoxin May Not Be Best for Some Heart Patients 2015-05-05T04:00:00Z Sleep apnea and several other conditions, including hypertension, obesity and diabetes, contribute to the onset and progression of atrial fibrillation, journal editor-in-chief Dr. David Wilber said in the news release. Treating Sleep Apnea May Help Those With Heart Rhythm Disorder 2015-04-20T04:00:00Z To prevent this from happening, many people with atrial fibrillation are prescribed blood thinners. Blood Thinners Overprescribed for Low-Risk Irregular Heartbeat: Study 2015-04-14T04:00:00Z For decades, most people with atrial fibrillation — an abnormal heartbeat — have been treated with blood thinners, which decrease clots in the heart. Southland surgeons implant Watchman heart device after it gets FDA OK 2015-03-23T04:00:00Z The device serves an alternate solution to anticoagulants and is expected to treat patients diagnosed with abnormal heartbeats, also known as atrial fibrillation. Boston Scientific's Watchman Device Ready To Enter U.S. Market 2015-03-17T04:00:00Z Over four years, 45 percent of patients who lost at least 10 percent of body weight were free of atrial fibrillation symptoms without treatment. Tackling Obesity May Ease a Dangerous Irregular Heartbeat 2015-03-16T04:00:00Z He said the problem of treating heart failure and atrial fibrillation together is a "vexing" one.
