Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in patients with nonvalvular AF undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation.
- A review of data from 426 patients showed that 23% experienced AF recurrence post-surgery, with factors like AF type, left atrial diameter (LAD), and serum albumin being significant predictors.
- Specifically, patients with persistent AF and a LAD ≥43.5 mm or serum albumin ≥42.2 g/L had an increased risk of recurrence, highlighting the importance of these metrics in patient outcomes after the procedure.
Background: Prehospital delay is the most critical factor to prognosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Few study had examined a series of predictors of prehospital delay by multivariate analysis of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, onset features, and symptom condition of STEMI in China.
Methods: A total of 1088 hospitalized STEMI participants were screened to collect sociodemographic data, medical history information, and symptom onset status from clinical medical records.
