Rivaroxaban versus warfarin in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2011
BACKGROUND The use of warfarin reduces the rate of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation but requires frequent monitoring and dose adjustment.

The Value of Voltage Histogram Analysis Derived Right Atrial Scar Burden in the Prediction of Left Atrial Scar Burden

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2020
Introduction. Growing evidence suggests that fibrotic changes can be observed in atrial fibrillation (AF) in both atria. Quantification of the scar burden during electroanatomical mapping might have important therapeutic and prognostic consequences ...

Prognostic Potential of Heart Rate and Hypertension in Multiple Myeloma Patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: The prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is variable and partly depends on their cardiovascular status. The presence of arrhythmias can lead to worse outcomes.

Early Rhythm-Control Therapy in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Despite improvements in the management of atrial fibrillation, patients with this condition remain at increased risk for cardiovascular complications. It is unclear whether early rhythm-control therapy can reduce this risk.

Novel concepts in atrial fibrillation ablation—breaking the trade‐off between efficacy and safety

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2021
Despite substantial technological and procedural advances that have improved the efficacy and safety of AF ablation in recent years, the long‐term durability of ablation lesions is still not satisfactory.

RHYTHM-AF: design of an international registry on cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and characteristics of participating centers [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is a serious public health problem posing a considerable burden to not only patients, but the healthcare environment due to high rates of morbidity, mortality, and medical resource utilization. There are limited data on the

Spontaneous initiation of atrial fibrillation by ectopic beats originating in the pulmonary veins.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1998
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation, the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and a major cause of stroke, results from simultaneous reentrant wavelets. Its spontaneous initiation has not been studied.

Progression of Atrial Fibrillation after Cryoablation or Drug Therapy.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2022
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is a chronic, progressive disorder, and persistent forms of atrial fibrillation are associated with increased risks of thromboembolism and heart failure.

Inflammatory signalling in atrial cardiomyocytes: a novel unifying principle in atrial fibrillation pathophysiology

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2022
Inflammation has been implicated in atrial fibrillation (AF), a very common and clinically significant cardiac rhythm disturbance, but its precise role remains poorly understood.
