Cardiovascular Hospitalizations and Resource Use Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Over the next few years, atrial fibrillation (AF)–related morbidity and costs will increase significantly. Thus, it is prudent to examine the impact of AF treatment on health care resource use.

Fibril Breaking Accelerates α-Synuclein Fibrillization [PDF]

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2015
The formation of amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein (αSyn), the key protein in Parkinson's disease, is an autocatalytic process that is seeded by mature αSyn fibrils. Based on systematic measurements of the dependence of the fibril growth rate on the concentrations of monomers and preformed fibrillar seeds, we propose a mechanism of αSyn aggregation that ...

Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Protects Against Atrial Remodeling via Reducing Oxidative Stress

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Aim: The structural and electrical changes in the atrium, also known as atrial remodeling, are the main characteristics of atrial fibrillation (AF). Fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) is an important endocrine factor, which has been shown to play an ...

Ibandronate promotes autophagy by inhibiting Rac1–mTOR signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo

Cell Death Discovery, 2022
We previously reported that ibandronate (IBAN) could improve endothelial function in spontaneously hypertensive rats. However, the mechanism by which IBAN improves endothelial function is unclear.

Effectiveness of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation according to heart failure etiology

Journal 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

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

BMC 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

Atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disorder, and increases in prevalence with increasing age and the number of cardiovascular comorbidities. AF is characterized by a rapid and irregular heartbeat that can be asymptomatic or lead to symptoms such as palpitations, dyspnoea and dizziness.

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

Cardiovascular 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.

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with diabetes mellitus

Heart 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.
