Atrial fibrillation impairs the diagnostic performance of cardiac natriuretic peptides in dyspneic patients. results from the BACH Study (Biomarkers in ACute Heart Failure) [PDF]
, 2013 Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the performance of mid-region amino terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) in comparison with the B-type peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) for diagnosis

Influence of right ventricular pacing on mitochondrial function in adults
Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 19, October 2025.Abstract Right ventricular pacing (RVP) frequency and duration significantly associate with RVP‐induced cardiomyopathy. However, human data regarding RVP burden and mitochondrial function is scarce. We aimed to investigate the association between the duration and percentage of RVP and mitochondrial function in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells ...

Incidence and predictors of premature ventricular complexes following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and previous studies have focused on the epidemiology, mechanisms and risk factors for this global disease (Ryder and Benjamin 1999). Various studies have examined the mechanism,

Pharmacological Therapy for Fibrillations
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2007 Human beings suffer from two different kinds of fibrillations: one is atrial fibrillation (AF) and the other is ventricular fibrillation (VF). AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia and VF is the most serious.

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2009 Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Elective electrical cardioversion is often performed in patients with persistent AF to attempt sinus rhythm (SR) restoration. However, AF recurrences are
