Effect of Renal Denervation and Catheter Ablation vs Catheter Ablation Alone on Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Among Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and Hypertension: The ERADICATE-AF Randomized Clinical Trial.

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2020
Importance Renal denervation can reduce cardiac sympathetic activity that may result in an antiarrhythmic effect on atrial fibrillation. Objective To determine whether renal denervation when added to pulmonary vein isolation enhances long-term ...

The search for atrial fibrillation and its impact on public health

open access: yesSwiss Medical Weekly, 2017
Atrial fibrillation may be clearly symptomatic and is easily amenable to state-of-the-art treatment, most importantly oral anticoagulation therapy for the prevention of thromboembolism.

The 4q25 variant rs13143308T links risk of atrial fibrillation to defective calcium homoeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Aims: Single nucleotide polymorphisms on chromosome 4q25 have been associated with risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) but the exiguous knowledge of the mechanistic links between these risk variants and underlying electrophysiological alterations hampers ...

A comparison of rate control and rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2002
BACKGROUND There are two approaches to the treatment of atrial fibrillation: one is cardioversion and treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs to maintain sinus rhythm, and the other is the use of rate-controlling drugs, allowing atrial fibrillation to ...

Cellular bases for human atrial fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes substantial morbidity and mortality. It may be triggered and sustained by either reentrant or nonreentrant electrical activity. Human atrial cellular refractory period is shortened in chronic AF, likely aiding reentry. The

Prevention of Bleeding in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing PCI.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND In patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with placement of stents, standard anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist plus dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with a P2Y12 inhibitor and aspirin ...

ECGNET: Learning where to attend for detection of atrial fibrillation with deep visual attention [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
The complexity of the patterns associated with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and the high level of noise affecting these patterns have significantly limited the current signal processing and shallow machine learning approaches to get accurate AF detection results.

Non-valvular atrial fibrillation and stroke : implications for management [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation is more prevalent with increasing age. It is associated with a six-fold excess risk of stroke; and a cumulative lifetime stroke risk of 35%. 15% of ischaemic strokes are directly attributable to it.

Combination of frequency-and time-domain characteristics of the fibrillatory waves for enhanced prediction of persistent atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon 2024(3)
Catheter ablation (CA) remains the cornerstone alternative to cardioversion for sinus rhythm (SR) restoration in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Unfortunately, despite the last methodological and technological advances, this procedure is not consistently effective in treating persistent AF.
