Cardiovascular Hospitalizations and Resource Use Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Over the next few years, atrial fibrillation (AF)–related morbidity and costs will increase significantly. Thus, it is prudent to examine the impact of AF treatment on health care resource use.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Protects Against Atrial Remodeling via Reducing Oxidative Stress

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Aim: The structural and electrical changes in the atrium, also known as atrial remodeling, are the main characteristics of atrial fibrillation (AF). Fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) is an important endocrine factor, which has been shown to play an ...

Ibandronate promotes autophagy by inhibiting Rac1–mTOR signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo

Cell Death Discovery, 2022
We previously reported that ibandronate (IBAN) could improve endothelial function in spontaneously hypertensive rats. However, the mechanism by which IBAN improves endothelial function is unclear.

Obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation: insights from a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

BMC Medical Genomics, 2022
Background Observational studies have suggested that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is in relation to atrial fibrillation (AF); however, these studies might be confounded and whether the relationship is causal remains unclear. We conducted a bidirectional

Picking the Locked Door

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
The management of atrial septal defects (ASDs) has been revolutionized by the advent of percutaneous transvenous occlusion devices. This case series describes techniques required to perform a transeptal puncture safely and effectively in patients ...

Effectiveness of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation according to heart failure etiology

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020
Background Catheter ablation is an important rhythm control therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with concomitant heart failure (HF). The objective of this study was to assess the comparative efficacy of AF ablation patients with ischemic vs

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with diabetes mellitus

Heart Rhythm O2, 2020
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Few studies have compared clinical outcomes after catheter ablation between patients with and those without DM.

Association of Sleep Duration With Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Both short (<7 h per night) and long (≥9 h per night) sleep durations are related to atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF), but their causality has not been confirmed. We applied Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches to estimate the causal
