Is This Atrial Fibrillation? [PDF]
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2009 A 19‐year‐old girl was referred to our cardiology department for catheter ablation (isolation of the pulmonary veins) of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The diagnosis was made upon a 12‐lead ECG of the arrhythmia documented in the emergency room. The ECG showed an irregular tachycardia without wide QRS complexes.

Alcohol and Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Dietary habits, including alcohol consumption, are among the significant risk factors for the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF). The pathophysiological relationship between alcohol consumption and AF is complex and multifactorial. However, there is conflicting information about the impact of alcohol consumption (in various doses and types) on the ...

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 ...
