Integrating the Left Atrium Diameter to Improve the Predictive Ability of the Age, Creatinine, and Ejection Fraction Score for Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cryoballoon Ablation

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Several clinical trials have assessed predictors for atrial fibrillation recurrence following cryoballoon catheter ablation. With these predictors, a practical and new scoring system can be developed to evaluate atrial fibrillation recurrence.

Initiating mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Europace, 2003
The understanding of the onset mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) may help to develop preventive therapy. Specific heart rate (HR) patterns and autonomic changes immediately before the onset of paroxysmal AF are not fully investigated. We undertook the present study to assess HR and heart rate variability (HRV) changes before the onset ...

Opposite relations of epicardial adipose tissue to left atrial size in paroxysmal and permanent atrial fibrillation

SAGE Open Medicine, 2018
Objectives: Atrial fibrillation has been associated with obesity in epidemiological studies. Epicardial adipose tissue is an ectopic fat depot in the proximity of atria, with endocrine and inflammatory properties that is implicated in the pathophysiology
