The article dwells upon the various strategies for prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation. The main focus is put on the endovascular strategies for prevention of tromboembolism. In recent years, the endovascular strategies for the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation, who have contraindications to oral anticoagulant therapy, are increasingly gaining popularity and find evidence of its safety for the prevention of thromboembolism. The patients with AF with a high risk of bleeding is the most interesting category for studying. The large studies confirm the effectiveness of non-drug prevention of thromboembolic events as compared to the anticoagulant therapy in these patients.
Фибрилляция предсердий (ФП)одно из самых распространенных нарушений ритма сердца, которым страдает 2% взрослого населения [1]. Это состояние увеличивает риск инсульта в 5 раз [1, 2]. До 15-20% всех случаев инсультов связано с ФП [1, 2]. Ишемический инсульт (ИИ) у больных с ФП часто заканчивается смертельным исходом и по сравнению с ИИ, вызванным другими причинами (не ФП), при-водит к наиболее выраженной инвалидизации и чаще рецидивирует [3]. Независимо от формы ФП (пароксизмальная или постоянная) риск развития ИИ в течение года составляет 4,5% [4].
Heart sarcoidosis diagnosis presents great difficulties due to the absence of specific clinical manifestations. Most often, the diagnosis is established during autopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart with contrast enhancement is one of the most informative methods of intravital diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. In this article, two clinical cases, shows the role of MRI of the heart with contrast enhancement in the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
