Epidemiology of common allergic diseases in China: Current position and implications
Abstract The prevalence of common allergic diseases, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and food allergy, has increased dramatically with rising industrialization in China, leading to a significant socio‐economic burden.

Atrial cellular electrophysiological changes in patients with ventricular dysfunction may predispose to AF [PDF]
<b>Background:</b> Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the atrial cellular electrophysiological mechanisms in humans are unclear.

Abstract Aims This study aimed to evaluate the change of the main electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and their prognostic role across the main subtypes of cardiac amyloidosis [light‐chain amyloidosis (AL) and hereditary (ATTRv) and wild‐type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt)].

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...

Introduction We described a rare case of an adolescent girl with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation originating from the right atrial appendage diverticulum and successfully converted to sinus rhythm after surgical intervention.

Device-Related Thrombus After Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes
Background: In patients with atrial fibrillation, left atrial appendage closure with the Watchman device prevents thromboembolism from the left atrial appendage; however, thrombus may form on the left atrial face of the device, and then potentially ...

Incidence and predictors of premature ventricular complexes following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and previous studies have focused on the epidemiology, mechanisms and risk factors for this global disease (Ryder and Benjamin 1999). Various studies have examined the mechanism,

Post-operative atrial fibrillation is influenced by beta-blocker therapy but not by pre-operative atrial cellular electrophysiology [PDF]
We investigated whether post-cardiac surgery (CS) new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is predicted by pre-CS atrial cellular electrophysiology, and whether the antiarrhythmic effect of beta-blocker therapy may involve pre-CS pharmacological remodeling ...

Epicardial fat pad within the transverse sinus mimicking a left atrial appendage thrombus
The presence of left atrial thrombus is a contraindication to cardioversion or catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation, due to the increased risk of systemic thromboembolism.
