prednisone and Atrial Fibrillation

prednisone has been researched along with Atrial Fibrillation in 19 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Atrial Fibrillation: Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.

"Twenty-four patients with hyperthyroid atrial fibrillation associated with Graves disease were divided into two groups: traditional antithyroid group (10 cases, with 2 males and 8 females, treated by methimazole 15 approximately 30 mg/d and propranolol 15 approximately 30 mg/d) and prednisone group (14 cases with 3 males and 11 females, treated by methimazole 15 approximately 30 mg/d, propranolol 15 approximately 30 mg/d, and prednisone 30 mg/d)."9.10[Treatment of hyperthyroid atrial fibrillation associated with Graves disease by prednisone]. ( Li, M; Qiu, M; Wei, H, 2002)
"Prednisone prevents the electrophysiological and atrial fibrillation-promoting effects of atrial tachycardia-remodeling, possibly by an anti-inflammatory action, whereas the less potent anti-inflammatory ibuprofen and the calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporine-A are without effect."7.73Prednisone prevents atrial fibrillation promotion by atrial tachycardia remodeling in dogs.
