Background Epicardial fat thickness (EFT) is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor of the presence, severity, and recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated the associations between EFT and AF prevalence and identified its correlation with other risk factors. Material/Methods A total of 199 participants who underwent co...

Background The serum apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio (APOB/APOA1) has been shown to predict cardiovascular events, whereas the effect of the APOB/APOA1 ratio on atrial fibrillation (AF) is less known. We investigated the association between the APOB/APOA1 ratio and AF by sex in 920 patients from China. Material/Methods We reviewed clinical data on 1840 h...

Background The association between patients’ serum uric acid (SUA) levels and sex in atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial. This retrospective study from a single center in China aimed to evaluate the association between sex and SUA levels in 950 patients with AF. Material/Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical information of 1913 co...

The most common serious heart rhythm disease is atrial fibrillation. It is not fatal on its own but does increase the risk of heart failures and strokes. There is little understanding about the mechanisms behind the disease, so more insight is desired. Using an array of electrodes, measurements are being performed of the electrical atrial activity ...

Background Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction improves cardiovascular outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between lipid levels and outcomes in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation by LDL-C quarters. Material/Methods Patients with atrial fibrillation were enrolled from 31 typical hospitals in China. Of 19 5...

Background It remains unclear whether there is a sex difference in the association between serum albumin (ALB) and atrial fibrillation (AF). This retrospective case-control study from a single center in China aimed to determine the association between serum ALB levels and AF by sex in 950 patients. Material/Methods Data of 950 AF patients and 963 a...

Background Patients with atrial fibrillation commonly have complex clinical backgrounds of multimorbidity and polypharmacy. The Atrial Fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway has been developed to help deliver integrated and holistic care for patients with atrial fibrillation. In this ancillary analysis, we assessed the adherence to and the effectiv...

The estimation of the atrial activity (AA) signal from electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings is an important step in the noninvasive analysis of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. This problem admits a blind source separation (BSS) formulation that has been recently posed as a tensor factor...

Sepsis can lead to cardiac arrhythmias, of which the most common is atrial fibrillation (AF). Sepsis is associated with up to a six-fold higher risk of developing AF, where it occurs most commonly in the first 3 days of hospital admission. In many patients, AF detected during sepsis is the first documented episode of AF, either as an unmasking of s...

Background The clinical significance of fibrillatory wave on electrocardiography during atrial fibrillation (AF) is poorly understood. The aim of the current study was to explore the association of fine fibrillatory wave with heart failure (HF) in AF. Methods and Results The current study enrolled 2442 patients with AF whose baseline ECG during AF ...
