This study aimed to analyze and present updated trends in atrial fibrillation (AF) epidemiology within the Korean population, providing a foundation for planning and implementing appropriate management and treatment strategies for patients with AF. Patients and methods We used the Korean National Health ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical routine. AF is related to significant morbidity and mortality caused by thromboembolism, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to AF initiation and progression are complex. Pedigrees...
AF/AFL, atrial flutter/atrial fibrillation; ASD, atrial septal defect; CHD, congenital heart disease; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; ECD, endocardial cushion defect; PA-VSD, pulmonary atresia-ventricular septal defect; PDA, patent ductus arteriosus; PH, pulmonary hypertension; TGA, transposition of ...
This cohort study examines whether there is an association between atrial fibrillation and retinal stroke in US adults aged 66 years and older.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with various major adverse cardiac events such as ischemic stroke, heart failure, and increased overall mortality. However, its association with lethal ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular flutter (VFL), and ventricular fibrillatio...
Structural changes of the left and right atria associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) in mitral stenosis (MS) patients are well known, and alterations in microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of the right atria have also been investigated. However, miRN
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia. Epidemiological studies have documented a substantial genetic component. More than 160 genes have been associated with AF during the last decades. Some of these were discovered by classical linkage studies while the majority relies on ...

There is growing evidence that atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for cognitive impairment (CI) and dementia in the presence or absence of stroke. The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanism of CI caused by AF. Eighteen male canines wer
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice. Inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and perpetuation of AF. The present study was conducted to characterize immune clusters in nonparoxysmal AF and to distinguish immune subtypes of nonparoxysmal ...
