Outcomes Associated With Oral Anticoagulants Plus Antiplatelets in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]
, 2020 Importance: Patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke should receive oral anticoagulants (OAC). However, approximately 1 in 8 patients in the Global Anticoagulant Registry in the Field (GARFIELD-AF) registry are treated with ...

Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2012 This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

Ectopy on a single 12‐lead ECG, incident cardiac myopathy, and death in the community [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundAtrial fibrillation and heart failure are 2 of the most common diseases, yet ready means to identify individuals at risk are lacking. The 12-lead ECG is one of the most accessible tests in medicine.

Comparison of the Relationship Between Inflammatory Markers and Atrial Fibrillation Burden
Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023 Background: Atrial fibrillation is a complex disease with irregular ventricular response and tachycardia as a result of irregular and rapid contraction of the atria, with poor cardiovascular outcomes unless treated. Various mechanisms are involved in its

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]
, 2017 Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Clinical characteristics, management, and control of permanent vs. nonpermanent atrial fibrillation: insights from the RealiseAF survey. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Atrial fibrillation can be categorized into nonpermanent and permanent atrial fibrillation. There is less information on permanent than on nonpermanent atrial fibrillation patients.

Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation in the 21st Century
Circulation Research, 2020 Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Accompanying the aging of populations worldwide, and increased survival with chronic diseases, the incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) are rising, justifying the term global epidemic.
