Résumé
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a new ,effective and radical method to cure atrial fibrillation .Within a period after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) ,coagulation system is activated in patients ,then thrombus incident such as cerebral embolism may happen .The present article made a review on its mechanism .
Résumé
Objective To observe endothelial and fibrinolytic functions of atrial fibrillation(AF)dogs induced by chronic rapid atrial pacing and effects of cilazapril on it and to investigate the mechanism of thrombogenesis in AF.Methods From January to August of 2004,16 dogs were randomly divided into control group(n=8)and cilazapril group(n=8).All dogs were paced at 400 bpm for 6 weeks by AOO pacemaker.The dogs in cilazapril group received cilazapril(1mg?kg-1?d-1)from 1week before pacing to 6 weeks after pacing.Plasma angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ),von Willebrand factor(vWF),tissue-type plasminogen activator(t-PA)and plasminogen activator inhibitors-1(PAI-1)level were measured before and after rapid pacing respectively.Results After rapid atrial pacing,plasma AngⅡ,vWF,t-PA and PAI-1 level increased significantly in control group dogs(AngⅡ:(349.9?28.3)ng/L vs(198.4?19.4)ng/L,P
