Atrial fibrillation occurring in association with acquired disease, cardiac surgery, valvular disease, or heart failure, might arise partly because of genetic predisposition. 45 In one study of ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) ranks first among common arrhythmias and is associated with a range of symptoms and even mortality. Yet, its underlying mechanisms have evaded the medical community. What ...

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide and prevalence is expected to continue rising at an exponential rate with an aging population and increasing rates of obesity ...

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AF) IS A COMMON CONTRIBUTOR to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Two generally acceptable strategies exist for long-term AF management, with ongoing studies comparing the ...

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AF) is the most common sustained dysrhythmia in adults. It is ironic, then, that although mechanisms and effective treatments for most other supraventricular tachyarrhythmias have ...

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular heart rhythm that increases a person’s risk of stroke, heart failure and even ...

Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart arrhythmia in humans. This condition increases the risk of heart failure, stroke, dementia and death, and current treatments have suboptimal efficacy ...

Bansal said the next stages of this research will aim to better understand the biological mechanisms linking atrial fibrillation and dementia, and studying whether different AF therapies -- for ...

Swiss-AF is a prospective, observational study designed to pinpoint the mechanisms of cognitive decline in patients with atrial fibrillation.2 This analysis investigated the prevalence of silent ...

An observational study found associations between methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates, and cannabis use and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Compared to non-users, the researchers’ analysis shows that ...

Atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, is an irregular heart rhythm that increases a person's risk of stroke, heart failure and even premature death. While many risk factors contribute to A-fib, one ...
