The incidence and risk factors for new onset atrial fibrillation in the PROSPER study [PDF]
, 2011 Aims Atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in older people. It associates with reduced exercise capacity, increased risk of stroke, and mortality. We aimed to determine retrospectively whether pravastatin reduces the incidence of

Duration of heart failure and the risk of atrial fibrillation: different mechanisms at different times? [PDF]
, 2009 Chronic heart failure increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), with the prevalence of AF paralleling the severity of heart failure.1 Factors that underlie this increased susceptibility to AF may include electrical, structural, and neurohumoral ...
