Comparison of the Relationship Between Inflammatory Markers and Atrial Fibrillation Burden
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

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PDF]
There has been a tendency to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in a similar way to sustained AF, but treatment objectives may be very different. We discuss current definitions, epidemiology, pathophysiology and natural history of PAF, and review evidence for its treatment and management.

The role of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and PD-1 expression on CD4 T cells in atrial fibrillation
Backgrounds: While not completely understood, the electrical, structural, and communication pathways that play a role in the onset and progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) seem to be connected to the intricate interplay between neurohormones and ...

Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Sleep [PDF]
Thirty-eight patients with lone paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) were monitored during spontaneous sleep. The starts of 111 episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) occurred in 12 patients. Statistical analysis failed to disclose significant differences in the number of starts per hour between wakefulness and the different sleep stages. Heart rate (HR)

Time series kernel similarities for predicting Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation from ECGs [PDF]
We tackle the problem of classifying Electrocardiography (ECG) signals with the aim of predicting the onset of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF).

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Pulsed field ablation of superior vena cava in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: a case report
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation originates most commonly in the pulmonary veins. However, the superior vena cava has proved to be arrhythmogenic in some cases.
