Christian Machado MD Providence-Providence Park Hospital/Michigan State University College of Human Medicine‚ Southfield‚ Michigan Introduction: Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a very commonly performed procedure‚ for curative treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Although it is an effective and safe procedure‚ it is not without risk. The development of an Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but potentially fatal complication. As per previously described cases‚ surgery is the definite therapy

Etiology & Risk Factors Congestive Heart Failure can be brought on by many conditions. These conditions include Coronary Artery Disease‚ Heart Attack‚ and lastly Cardiomyopathy. Coronary artery disease can develop in humans after years over time after years of fatty deposits in the vascular system (Arteriosclerosis). After a heart attack the heart muscles are weakened and cannot perform the way they could prior to the attack. Therefore‚ as the muscles lose their pumping ability the heart cannot work

COAGULATION AND THROMBI Haemostasis‚ the physiological response to vascular injury‚ results in the formation of a haemostatic plug that prevents blood loss. Under normal conditions‚ factors that promote blood coagulation are balanced by those that inhibit it. Pathologic thrombosis occurs when procoagulant stimuli overwhelm natural anticoagulant and fibrinolytic systems. Venous thrombi‚ which form under low shear conditions‚ are predominantly composed of fibrin and red cells. Thrombi may develop

Our assignment was to write how Edgar Allan Poe died‚ based on the information we were given in articles. His death was a controversial topic‚ since no one really knows how he truly passed away. Rabies‚ alcoholism‚ and atrial fibrillation were three topics that were discussed. We wrote an argumentative essay on his cause of death to expand and refine our skills as writers. It helped us learn how to properly construct a persuasive essay. In “Anthem‚” there are multiple subjects
