European journal of heart failure, Volume 12, Issue 10, 1 1 2010, Pages 1101-1110 Prediction of atrial fibrillation in patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and heart failure.

Aims: Heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist and AF worsens heart failure prognosis. Device-based diagnostics derived from implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) interrogation provide an accurate method for detecting AF episodes. This study sought to determine clinical and echocardiographic predictors of AF occurrence, including an index of total atrial conduction time derived by tissue Doppler imaging (PA-TDI duration), in patients with heart failure. Moreover, the... Abstract

Circulation, Volume 121, Issue 17, 19 3 2010, Pages 1941-1950 Composition of carotid atherosclerotic plaque is associated with cardiovascular outcome: a prognostic study. Hellings WE, Peeters W, Moll FL, Piers SR, van Setten J, Van der Spek PJ, de Vries JP, Seldenrijk KA, De Bruin PC, Vink A, Velema E, de Kleijn DP, Pasterkamp G
Background: Identification of patients at risk for primary and secondary manifestations of atherosclerotic disease progression is based mainly on established risk factors. The atherosclerotic plaque composition is thought to be an important determinant of acute cardiovascular events, but no prospective studies have been performed. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether atherosclerotic plaque composition is associated with the occurrence of future vascular events. Methods a... Abstract
