Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Atrial Fibrillation Background: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is common in the general population, but its prevalence in atrial fibrillation (AF), predictors for LVDD in AF and the association between LVDD and AF‐related symptom severity has not been well studied. Methods: In 124 consecutive patients (mean age 61 ± 11years, 60% male) with paroxysmal (n = 70) or persistent AF (n = 54) referred for AF catheter ablation, LVDD was evaluated according to current guidelines using transthoracic echocardiography. AF‐related symptom severity was quantified using the European Heart Rhythm Association score. Results: LVDD was present in 46 patients (37%). In uni‐ and multivariable regression analysis, age (OR 1.068 per year, 95% CI 1.023–1.115, P = 0.003) and persistent AF (OR 2.427 vs. paroxysmal AF, 95% CI 1.112–5.3, P = 0.026) were associated with LVDD. LVDD was found in 11% with mild AF symptoms (n = 27) as opposed to 44% in patients with moderate–severe AF symptoms (n = 97, P = 0.002). Thus, the OR for moderate–severe AF symptoms was 6.368 (1.797–22.568, P = 0.004) in the presence of LVDD. Conclusions: LVDD (1) occurs frequently in AF, (2) is associated with advancing age and AF progression and (3) is correlated with symptom severity in AF.

Whether or not mechanisms underlying circadian locomotor rhythms and learning are related anatomically through the mushroom bodies (MBs) was investigated by monitoring behavioral rhythmicity in flies with MB lesions induced by chemical ablation and by mutations in five different genes. All flies tested were later examined histologically to assess (1) MB neuroanatomy, and (2) the condition of the putative pacemaker cells -- the ventral Lateral Neurons (LN v s) and their terminals that project to the vicinity of the MB calyces. All groups of flies had normal rhythms except for mushroom body miniature ( mbm ; only in a wild-type Berlin genetic background) and mushroom body defect ( mud ). MB ablation had no effect on the gender-specific differences in the rhythmic activity profile that are typical of wild-type flies. However, ablated males had a slightly longer period than untreated males and were more active under constant dark conditions. LN v s and their arborization patterns appeared normal in MB-ablated and in most mutant flies. Activity defects of mbm flies were attributed to genetic background rather than to the mutation alone. Misrouted LN v projections and ~14% arrhythmia of mud flies were uncorrelated and attributed to pleiotropy rather than to specific effects of MB lesions. Our results imply that MBs are not involved in circadian activity rhythms but that they do have an inhibitory effect on activity levels of male flies. 相似文献

Aim Definitely abnormal general movements in populations of high‐risk infants predict serious neurodevelopmental impairment. This study aimed to assess predictive values of definitely abnormal general movements at 3 months for serious neurodevelopmental impairment in a representative sample of the general population. Method A prospective cohort study of 455 3‐month‐old infants was performed (241 females, 214 males; mean birthweight 3452g, SD 604g; mean gestational age 39.4wks, SD 1.96; n=32 born preterm). At enrolment, general movement quality was assessed by means of video recording. At 4 years, all participants were reassessed by well‐baby health clinicians; if serious neurodevelopmental impairment was identified, clinical records were reviewed. Predictive values of definitely abnormal general movement quality for major neurodevelopmental impairment were calculated. Results Five children were diagnosed as having a major neurodevelopmental disorder with serious implications for daily life, including three children with cerebral palsy (CP). Three out of the five had shown definitely abnormal general movements; they had lesions involving the periventricular white matter. Two children did not show definitely abnormal general movements; one had unilateral spastic CP due to a cortical lesion and the other had ataxia due to cerebellar atrophy. The positive predictive value of definitely abnormal general movements for major neurodevelopmental impairment was 18/100, and for CP it was 12/100. Negative predictive values approached 100%. Interpretation The good predictive value of general movement assessment in high‐risk populations cannot be generalized to the general population. 相似文献
