Abstract Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cardiovascular complication of thyrotoxicosis but its burden and predictors are poorly described in sub-Saharan Africa. We assessed the prevalence, clinical cours...

BackgroundLeft ventricular (LV) geometric remodeling is a key pathophysiological feature in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), yet its prognostic implications among patients with concomitant atrial f...

Acute renal infarction secondary to atrial fibrillation is a rare clinical condition. Its clinical presentation can be confused with other diseases with similar initial symptoms, and this may delay the diagnosis and tr...

Renal infarction is an uncommon diagnosis with an incidence of about 0.007% of emergency department admissions. It is often mimicked by other more common diseases such as urolithiasis or other abdominal lesions at clinic...

Abstract Background Ambient air pollution has been linked to atrial fibrillation (AF), yet the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain poorly understood. Methods We analyzed 227,324 UK Biobank participants without baselin...

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), red cell distribution width (RDW), homocysteine (Hcy), and clinical parameters with new-onset atrial fibrillation (NO...

BackgroundKinesiophobia is a significant psychological factor that affects early ambulation in postoperative patients. It is particularly common after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. Nonetheless, few stu...

Relata-se o caso de um cão, sem raça definida, levado ao veterinário por apresentar cansaço fácil e episódios de síncope. Foram identificadas fibrilação atrial e extra-sístoles ventriculares isoladas ao exame e...

Abstract Background Acute rhythm restoration after cryoballoon ablation may reflect underlying atrial substrate; however, its independent prognostic value for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence remains uncertain. Object...

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) impacts performance and horse and jockey safety. Understanding the outcomes of AF identified postrace will better inform regulatory policy. Hypothesis/Objectives To investigat...

Purpose: To evaluate the association of lipid profile and statin therapy with stroke severity and early functional outcome in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke ...

Abstract Background Mavacamten is a novel selective cardiac myosin inhibitor indicated for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). Given its negative inotropic properties, which theoretically reduce...

Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia in chronic kidney disease patients. When compared to warfarin, new oral anticoagulants are found to be non-inferior or superior in safety and eff...

Lower extremity reconstruction is challenging, especially in elderly patients with comorbidities such as atrial fibrillation. Pedicled perforator flaps offer a reliable alternative to free tissue transfer and musculocuta...

Jiaqi Wang,1,2 Yaqiong Jin,2 Li Wang,2 Yunmeng Wang,1,2 Jingchao Lu2 1Department of Graduate, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, People’s Republic of China; 2Department of Cardiology, The Second Hospital of Hebei ...

Abstract Objective “One-stop” interventional therapy for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) traditionally relies on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance, which carries limitations including anesthe...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia with a rising global incidence. Advances in ablation techniques have led to same‐day discharge (SDD) protocols, reducing hospital res...

We report a 82-year-old women who presented with abdominal pain, nausea and multiple organ ischemia and infarction due to atrial fibrillation (AF). Her electrocardiography (ECG) was compatible with AF and the transaminas...

ObjectiveThe impact of Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence and cardiac function in patients with AF and heart failure (HF) undergoing catheter ablation ...

Abstract BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) are common arrhythmias associated with the risk of ischemic stroke, which can be reduced with anticoagulation therapy. Thus, early diagnosi...

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common performance limiting arrhythmia in racehorses. High dose exercise and airway disease promote AF in humans. Few studies have investigated epidemiological fac...
