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

open access: yesBMC 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

Recruited macrophages elicit atrial fibrillation

open access: yesScience, 2023
Atrial fibrillation disrupts contraction of the atria, leading to stroke and heart failure. We deciphered how immune and stromal cells contribute to atrial fibrillation.

Incidence, duration, pattern, and burden of de novo atrial arrhythmias detected by continuous ECG monitoring using an implantable loop recorder following ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus

open access: yesCardiovascular Digital Health Journal, 2020
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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesHeart 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.

Picking the Locked Door

open access: yesJACC: 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 ...

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]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yesCirculation, 2023
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 ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Physical Activity and Risks of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Although some observational studies have shown that physical activity may have a positive relationship with cardiovascular diseases, the causal effect remains uncertain.
