Use and outcomes associated with bridging during anticoagulation interruptions in patients with atrial fibrillation: findings from the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (ORBIT-AF).

Ansell, J; Chang, P; Fonarow, GC; Gersh, Bernard John; Kim, S; Kowey, Peter R; Mahaffey, Kenneth William; ... (13 authors) (Circulation, 2015-02-03)

BACKGROUND: Temporary interruption of oral anticoagulation for procedures is often required, and some propose using bridging anticoagulation. However, the use and outcomes of bridging during oral anticoagulation interruptions ...

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in U.S. Community Practice--Results From Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (ORBIT-AF).

Chang, P; Gersh, Bernard John; Holmqvist, Fredrik Nils; Hong, SJ; Kowey, Peter R; Naccarelli, GV; ORBIT-AF Investigators; ... (12 authors) (J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-05-21)

BACKGROUND: The characteristics of patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and subsequent outcomes in community practice are not well described. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed ...

Heart rate is associated with progression of atrial fibrillation, independent of rhythm.

Chang, P; Fonarow, GC; Freeman, JV; Gersh, Bernard John; Holmqvist, Fredrik Nils; Kim, S; Kowey, Peter R; ... (15 authors) (Heart, 2015-06)

OBJECTIVE: Atrial fibrillation (AF) often progresses from paroxysmal or persistent to more sustained forms, but the rate and predictors of AF progression in clinical practice are not well described. METHODS: Using the Outcomes ...

Increased Heart Rate Is Associated With Higher Mortality in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (AF): Results From the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of AF (ORBIT-AF).

Chang, P; Fonarow, GC; Gersh, Bernard John; Holmqvist, Fredrik Nils; Hylek, E; Kim, S; Kowey, Peter R; ... (15 authors) (J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-09-14)

BACKGROUND: Most patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) require rate control; however, the optimal target heart rate remains under debate. We aimed to assess rate control and subsequent outcomes among patients with permanent ...
