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 ...

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.

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

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

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.

D-band strain underestimates fibril strain for twisted collagen fibrils at low strains [PDF]

, 2021
Collagen fibrils are the main structural component of load-bearing tissues such as tendons, ligaments, skin, the cornea of the eye, and the heart. The D-band of collagen fibrils is an axial periodic density modulation that can be easily characterized by tissue-level X-ray scattering. During mechanical testing, D-band strain is often used as a proxy for

Non-invasive estimation of left atrial dominant frequency in atrial fibrillation from different electrode sites: Insight from body surface potential mapping [PDF]

, 2014
© 2014, CardioFront LLC. All rights reserved. The dominant driving sources of atrial fibrillation are often found in the left atrium, but the expression of left atrial activation on the body surface is poorly understood.

Sex-related differences in risk factors, type of treatment received and outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute stroke: Results from the RAF-study (Early Recurrence and Cerebral Bleeding in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation) [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor of thromboembolism. Women with atrial fibrillation are at a higher overall risk for stroke compared to men with atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to evaluate for sex differences
