Ischemic heart disease is one of the most frequent causes of heart failure and it is normally …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly associated with heart failure. A bidirectional relationship
exists between the two—AF exacerbates heart failure causing a significant increase in heart …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are evolving epidemics, together responsible for

Chronic heart failure is a clinical syndrome with multiple etiologies, associated with
significant morbidity and mortality. Cardiac arrhythmias, including ventricular …

Ventricular arrhythmias, mainly lethal arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia and
fibrillation, may lead to sudden cardiac death. These are triggered as a result of cardiac …

AF-mediated cardiomyopathy (AMC) is an important reversible cause of heart failure that is
