Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical
practice, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Electrophysiologically, it is …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac rhythm disorder and the prevalence is
increasing. The disease confers an increased risk of severe complications such as heart …

Effective drugs for atrial fibrillation (AF) are lacking, resulting in significant morbidity and
mortality. This study demonstrates that network proximity analysis of differentially expressed …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and is associated with increased
morbidity. As the population ages and the prevalence of AF continues to rise, the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia associated with substantial morbidity,
mortality and costs. Available management strategies generally have limited efficacy and …

Ethnic Difference in Atrial Fibrillation Incidence. Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is
suggested to be less common among black and Asian individuals, which could reflect bias …

Recent studies of AF have identified mutations in a series of ion channels; however, these
mutations appear to be relatively rare causes of AF. A genome-wide association study has …

The genetic basis of cardiac electrical phenotypes has in the last 25 years been the subject
of intense investigation. While in the first years, such efforts were dominated by the study of …

Background In western societies, atrial fibrillation is an increasingly common finding among
the elderly. Established risk factors of atrial fibrillation include obesity, diabetes …

BACKGROUND: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased morbidity,
mortality, and resource utilization. Current prediction models for postoperative AF are based …
