Permanent: normal heart rhythm cannot be restored. “Permanent AF is used when there has been a joint decision by the patient and clinician to cease further attempts to restore and/or maintain sinus rhythm.” AF is a progressive condition. What may begin as paroxysmal or persistent AF may dev...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common human arrhythmia. AF is a progressive disease, initially being nonsustained and induced by trigger activity, and progressing towards persistent AF through alteration of the atrial myocardial substrate. Treatment of AF aims to decrease the risk of stroke ...

Objective: In the present study, we investigated the association between risk factors for atherosclerosis [including HU, HTN, blood pressure and serum uric acid (UA) levels] and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Paro-AF) or persistent atrial fibrillation (Pers-AF) in patients who underwent coronary ...
The safety and efficacy of hybrid ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation: A meta-analysis Introduction Hybrid ablation, an emerging therapy that combines surgical intervention and catheter ablation, has become a viable option for the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation. In this analysi...

When, how, and why should sinus rhythm be restored in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation? The results of the AFFIRM (Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management) trial indicate that the rate control strategy is preferred for... K Stephenson,CM Tschabrunn,S Vasu,.....
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by a progression from paroxysmal to persistent or permanent AF. Recent studies have shown that AF progression is related to a worse morbidity and mortality, and poorer outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). We previously showed that left ventric...
