Atrial Fibrillation Overview - ECG, types, pathophysiology, treatment, complications

Is Apixaban now considered appropriate for anticoagulation in AF with enlarged Left Atrium,Enlarged Left Ventricle and Mitral Regurgitation (not stenosis) but without any artificial or prosthetic valves present?

I feel this is one of the most lucid videos on AF, not missing or messing a single event. Really an wonderful study. Thanks

My normal resting heart rate is in the range of 49 to 57. I drank a cold drink and had what I thought was a PSVT when I got brain freeze from drinking it too fast. My heart rate shot up to 96. I did a vagal maneuver and it dropped to 83. I splashed cold water on my face and it went down to 73. Over the next day it seemed to normalize and my heart rate has been in normal range since then but it seems inconsistent -- meaning slightly varied gaps between beats. I cant tell if Im stressed about this and causing it or if I have Afib with an otherwise normal 55 heart rate. I exercise fine. Could it just be stress lasting a few days?

In my experience I feel it’s important to know the ejection fraction to determine if patient has systolic or diastolic heart failure to treat with amiodarone or a ccb,bb. I’ve seen patient with an EF of 10-15 get cardizem and cause cardiac arrest.

Thanks

Wohhhhhhhhh wohhhhhhhhhhhh kirraaaakkk

Jazak Allah. Allah apko ajar de iska

Clear explanation

why/how does AF cause decrease in preload?

thanks a lot

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you so much

Thanks a lot sir

well done explaining

Very very impressive explaination. Thank you very much.

Amazing! Afib made easy

I am a resident and still watching your videos. You were my hero through med school and still are <3

Thank you

What infinite paper do you use?

The best !!

Thanks for the very clear explanation

Amazing, thank you so much 💜

Dude u have no idea how much i love u, literally I'm advertising in our faculty for u whenever i pass an exam, mwah 😘

I have AF but don't have the high heart rate. I am on blood thinners and after watching this video I'm going to ask for a holter

Incredibly well done video, thank you!

Nice

Atrial fibrillation is made too easy via this video .Thank u 👍👏

Thank you so much 🙏💕

Woah, thank you so much. This helped a lot in my class presentation.

Problem is there are very little, if not, no videos online about what atrial fibrillation sounds like. I was exercising earlier and suddenly my heart rate accelerates to roughly 240 BPM and it was extremely loud and I could quite-literally feel it beating out of my chest, which was insane. Wasn't the first time either. Before, I was doing a running race and my heart rate was also extremely insane. Over 200 BPM then too, and I felt really faint like I wanted to pass out. I have had a weird history of shortness of breath I should also mention. I tried to get checked out when I was a bit younger, but was told there was nothing being reported as abnormal by a cardiogram. That relieved me, but now I'm starting to wonder if I should get checked out again.

Best AF presentation ever!!!!

Love it bro

thank you so much for your effort, you explain it in such a smooth way for such complicated topic i appreciate that

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙

Overview
------------------
Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots in the heart. A-fib increases the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.

During atrial fibrillation, the heart's upper chambers (the atria) beat chaotically and irregularly — out of sync with the lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart. For many people, A-fib may have no symptoms. However, A-fib may cause a fast, pounding heartbeat (palpitations), shortness of breath or weakness.

Episodes of atrial fibrillation may come and go, or they may be persistent. Although A-fib itself usually isn't life-threatening, it's a serious medical condition that requires proper treatment to prevent stroke.

Treatment for atrial fibrillation may include medications, therapy to reset the heart rhythm and catheter procedures to block faulty heart signals.

A person with atrial fibrillation may also have a related heart rhythm problem called atrial flutter. Although atrial flutter is a different arrhythmia, the treatment is quite similar to atrial fibrillation.

Thank you so much for making it so easy to understand!!💜

CAC Kapha tablet is a healthy blend of herbs formulated to balance Kapha doshas without aggravating Pitta and Vata doshas. It can also be used to alleviate any temporary Kapha imbalance. It is very effective in Kapha season that is late winter and spring. It consists of warming and astringent herbs that help to balance the system throughout the cold season. The main use of Kapha tablets is to remove excess Kapha doshas from the system and helps in the management of weight, healthy lungs, and the immune system.

Thanks man

Thank you for this explanation. My husband was just diagnosed with AF at young age of 50 . I now have a list of question to ask the cardiologist when he gets a referral. Sadly it sounds like he has persistent or permanent AF with high score for stroke since internal med doc is prescribing dabigatran before he even sees a cardiologist.

I've taken ACLS since the late 70's and this is the best explanation (and I've seen some pretty good ones) of the subject. Anyone contemplating taking ACLS would do well to study this presentation as it serves well as a foundation for a lot of other cardiac interventions.

Warfarin cause calcification so why it's use with comorbid CKD ?

amazing
