Frequent periodic leg movement during sleep is an unrecognized risk factor for progression of atrial fibrillation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Sleep apnea has been recognized as a factor predisposing to atrial fibrillation recurrence and progression. The effect of other sleep-disturbing conditions on atrial fibrillation progression is not known.

Atrial fibrillation of new onset during acute illness: prevalence of, and risk factors for, persistence after hospital discharge [PDF]

Acute and Critical Care, 2021
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) of new onset during acute illness (AFNOAI) has a variable incidence of 1%–44% in hospitalized patients. This study assesses the risk factors for persistence of AFNOAI in the 5 years after hospital discharge for ...
