Accompanying the aging of populations worldwide, and increased survival with chronic
diseases, the incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) are rising, justifying the term …

Introduction 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 …

The incidence of arrhythmia after myocardial infarction has declined since the introduction of
reperfusion techniques. Nevertheless, ischemic arrhythmias are often associated with …

Background: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), ventricular rate control with medications
has been found to be noninferior in preventing clinical events, compared to a strategy …

Aims Diastolic dysfunction in acute myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with adverse
outcome. Recently, the ratio of early mitral inflow velocity (E) to global diastolic strain rate …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are growing cardiovascular disease epidemics
worldwide. There has been an exponential increase in the prevalence of AF and HF …

Background Available evidence supports an association between atrial high‐rate episode
(AHRE) burden and thromboembolic risk, but the necessary extent and duration of AHREs to …

OBJECTIVE: Recent reports from Europe and the United States have suggested that
patients presenting for open surgery with a significant history of atrial fibrillation (AF) have …

There are limited data on arrhythmias in acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock
(AMI-CS). Using a 17-year AMI-CS population from the National Inpatient Sample, we …

Essentials• Registry‐based studies indicate a link between arterial‐and venous
