Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterised by an increased risk of pathological thrombus
formation due to a disruption of physiological haemostatic mechanisms that are better …

Hypertensive heart disease constitutes functional and structural dysfunction and
pathogenesis occurring primarily in the left ventricle, the left atrium and the coronary arteries …

Rationale: Cardiovascular events after chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
exacerbations are recognized. Studies to date have been post hoc analyses of trials, did not …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents the most common arrhythmia worldwide and its prevalence
exponentially increases with age. It is related to increased risk of ischemic stroke or systemic …

Purpose To compare patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) initiating direct oral anticoagulants
(DOACs) versus warfarin on clinical outcomes including stroke, systemic embolism (SE) …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly contributes to acute ischaemic stroke (AIS), yet its precise
influence on clinical outcomes post-intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and post-endovascular …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) can increase thrombosis, especially arterial thrombosis, and some
studies show that AF patients have a higher risk of developing pulmonary embolism (PE) …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with arterial thromboembolism, mainly ischaemic
stroke, while venous thromboembolism (VTE) in AF is less well studied. The aim of this …

Irritant inhalation is associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke.
Irritant inhalation acutely regulates cardiac function via autonomic reflexes. Increases in …

Background Effect‐size underestimation impedes biomarker identification. Long follow‐up
time in prospective studies attenuates effect‐size estimates for transient biomarkers, while …
