Genome-wide association studies in diverse populations have increased the number of genetic loci associated with atrial fibrillation and its specific subtypes. Large-scale biobanks with deep phenotypi...
Our understanding of atrial fibrillation genetics is rapidly improving with larger and more diverse genome-wide association studies. Translating genetic discoveries into molecular pathways and new the...
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity globally. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. It is set to reach epidemic proportions. AF is associ...
This article reviews the literature related to AF and stroke, pathophysiological insights, diagnosis of AF in stroke patients, and its management (Graphical Abstract)....
The pathophysiology of thrombogenesis that links AF and stroke is not well understood and is an area of active research to identify new therapeutic targets to prevent AF and stroke. As the nature of A...
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated an association between clinical atrial fibrillation (AF) and cognitive impairment. This study aimed to further clarify the impact of AF burden on cognitive funct...
This prospective cohort study, conducted at the Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinic of a tertiary center, included patients with non-valvular AF. AF burden was evaluated using 14-day patch-based electroc...
Enrolled patients (n = 253) were grouped according to the median AF burden (13.52%). Patients with higher AF burden were significantly older and had larger left atrium size, a worse ejection fraction,...
AF burden is associated with cognitive function in patients with AF. Further studies are required to determine whether reducing AF burden can preserve cognitive function in these patients....
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for systemic embolism and ischaemic stroke. Furthermore, AF-related strokes are associated with higher mortality, greater disability, longer hospital st...
Beyond Virchow's triad, several pathophysiological mechanisms associated with structural changes in the left atrium, which may precede the identification of AF, may contribute to the increased risk of...
Few studies have examined the relationship between poor atrial fibrillation-related quality of life (AFQoL) and a battery of geriatric factors. The objective of this study is to describe factors assoc...
Cross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort study of participants aged 65+ with high stroke risk and AF. AFQoL was measured using the validated Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (scor...
Of 1244 participants (mean age 75.5), 42% reported poor AFQoL. Falls in the past 6 months, pre/frail and frailty, depression, anxiety, social isolation, vision impairment, oral anticoagulant therapy, ...
More than 4 out of 10 older adults with AF reported poor AFQoL. Geriatric factors associated with higher odds of reporting poor AFQoL include recent falls, frailty, depression, anxiety, social isolati...
Atrial fibrillation is associated with a significant increase in stroke and systemic embolism. This review explores the areas of stroke prevention....
In the last decade, NOAC has overtaken warfarin as the anticoagulant of choice for stroke prevention in AF. For patients unable to take anticoagulation, LAA closure has proven to be a valid option. Th...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and imposes a significant healthcare burden. The landscape of AF has changed considerably over the past few years, with the advent of nov...
Atrial fibrillation has a multifactorial pathophysiology influenced by cardiac autonomic innervation. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic influences are profibrillatory. Innovative therapies targetin...
