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

Recruited macrophages elicit atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation disrupts contraction of the atria, leading to stroke and heart failure. We deciphered how immune and stromal cells contribute to atrial fibrillation.

Background: Following cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation, many patients with atrial flutter (AFL) are diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF). The incidence, duration, pattern, and burden of AF remain undefined.

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

Sex-related differences in risk factors, type of treatment received and outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute stroke: Results from the RAF-study (Early Recurrence and Cerebral Bleeding in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation) [PDF]
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor of thromboembolism. Women with atrial fibrillation are at a higher overall risk for stroke compared to men with atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to evaluate for sex differences

Autoimmune Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is by far the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In about 3% of individuals, AF develops as a primary disorder without any identifiable trigger (idiopathic or historically termed lone AF). In line with the emerging field of autoantibody-related cardiac arrhythmias, the objective of this study ...

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

Physical Activity and Risks of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Background: Although some observational studies have shown that physical activity may have a positive relationship with cardiovascular diseases, the causal effect remains uncertain.
