[Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting].

Purpose: to identify the role of factors of inflammation and myocardial ischemia in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the early postoperative period after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: We enrolled in this study 96 patients with ischemic heart disease who had undergone CABG. Patients were divided into 2 groups: (1) without postoperative AF (n=67, 80.

[Factors Associated With Development of Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting].

Purpose: to identify factors associated with development of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the early postoperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: A total of 376 patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent CABG were enrolled in the study.

Results: During the observation period AF occurred in 74 patients (19.

[Volume of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery and Risk of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation].

Purpose: To identify prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in dependence of volume of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as assessed by the number of grafts.

Material And Methods: The study included 431 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) who underwent CABG. Group 1 comprised patients with single-vessel bypass graft (n=47, 78.

Lifetime Prevalence of Transient Loss of Consciousness in an Urban Russian Population.

Background: Most international studies on epidemiology of transient loss of consciousness (TLC) were performed many years ago. There are no data about the lifetime prevalence of TLC in Russia.

Objective: To identify the lifetime prevalence and presumed mechanisms of TLC in an urban Russian population.

[Results of Russian Hospital Chronic Heart Failure Registry in Three Subjects of Russian Federation].

Unlabelled: Aim of the RUssian hoSpital Heart Failure Registry (RUS-HFR) was to analyze clinical and epidemiological characteristics, application of modern drug and non-drug therapy among hospitalized patients with systolic chronic heart failure (CHF) in 3 subjects of Russian Federation.

Material And Methods: We conducted a prospective multicenter observational study in 3 cardiological centers (Petersburg, Orenburg, Samara) in which we recruited patients aged 18-75 years with left ventricular ejection fraction less or equal 40% without ongoing myocardial infarction or pulmonary thromboembolism.

Results: Between October 2012 and June 2014 we included 524 patients (mean age 60 years, >79% men) mostly with NYHA class III CHF.
