Characterization of pulmonary vein reconnection post Cryoballoon ablation
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2019 Background: The Arctic Front Cryoballoon System is a technology in which substrate alterations in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence have not been well characterized.

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.

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

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.

Atrial Fibrillation: Pathogenesis, Predisposing Factors, and Genetics
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia managed in clinical practice, and it is linked to an increased risk of death, stroke, and peripheral embolism.

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020 All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
ISRN Cardiology, 2011 Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common among surgical patients and associated with a worse outcome. Pathophysiology of POAF is not fully disclosed, and several perioperative factors could be involved. Direct cardiac stimulation from perioperative use of catecholamines or increased sympathetic outflow from volume loss/anaemia/pain may play a

Glycemic control is associated with atrial structural remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019 Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been demonstrated to be a strong risk factor for development and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, how DM and glycemic control affect the pathogenesis of AF has not been sufficiently investigated ...
