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.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) results from the chaotic depolarization of atrial tissue and is the most common dysrhythmia diagnosed in United States (US) emergency departments. AF affects greater than 1% of the general population, with a peak prevalence of 10% in those greater than 80 years of age. By 2050, it is estimated that nearly 16 million US patients

BACKGROUND Contemporary clinical risk stratification schemata for predicting stroke and thromboembolism (TE) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are largely derived from risk factors identified from trial cohorts.

Initiation of ventricular fibrillation by atrial fibrillation
European Heart Journal, 1994We report the case of a patient who developed spontaneously a ventricular fibrillation during atrial fibrillation, 8 min after a perfusion of isoproterenol was stopped. Two mechanisms could explain the ventricular arrhythmia: silent ischaemia and a long-short cycle sequence just before ventricular fibrillation.

Global epidemiology of atrial fibrillation: An increasing epidemic and public health challenge
International Journal of Stroke, 2020Background Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia. It has been estimated that 6–12 million people worldwide will suffer this condition in the US by 2050 and 17.9 million people in Europe by 2060.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an abnormal rhythm characterized by chaotic atrial electrical activity resulting in loss of atrial contraction, an irregular and unpredictable heart rate, and a tendency for thrombus formation. The prevalence of AF is estimated at 1 to 2%, but it’s likely higher than that because one-third of patients may have no symptoms ...

Atrial fibrillation will present the most significant arrhythmia management challenge for clinicians in the new millennium, particularly as the percentage of elderly patients and longevity increase worldwide. The clinical manifestations of the arrhythmia are wide ranging: paroxysmal to permanent modes of occurrence and asymptomatic to severely ...

The Lancet, 2012
The management of atrial fibrillation has evolved greatly in the past few years, and many areas have had substantial advances or developments. Recognition of the limitations of aspirin and the availability of new oral anticoagulant drugs that overcome the inherent drawbacks associated with warfarin will enable widespread application of effective ...
