Background: The anterolateral ligament (ALL) is a true well-defined ligament in the knee first described in 1879 by Segond. After the work of Claes et al., several studies were conducted about biomechanics and its role in stability of the knee. The anatomical existence of the ALL has been studied by and various radiographic diagnostic modalities an...

From the bedside of patients contributing samples to large genome-wide association studies for atrial fibrillation (AF), over 100 AF risk loci have been identified. The top locus is near a gene implicated in pulmonary vein formation; the ostia of the pulmonary veins harbor initiating triggers of AF, and isolation of these areas is the cornerstone o...

There is a growing interest in the study of the mechanisms of heart and brain interactions with the aim to improve the management of high-impact cardiac rhythm disorders, first of all atrial fibrillation. However, there are several topics to which the scientific interests of cardiologists and neurologists converge constituting the basis for enhanci...

Background
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, posing a heavy burden on patients’ wellbeing and healthcare budgets. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk of developing postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF), new-onset atrial fibrillation and subsequent atrial fibrillation-related complications, including stroke. ...

Purpose of review
This review provides a contemporary review of sleep apnea with emphasis on definitions, epidemiology, and consequences.
Recent findings
Amyloid β-42 is one of the main peptides forming amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer patients. Poorer sleep quality and shorter sleep duration have been associated with a higher amyloid ...

Background
Atrial fibrillation induces reversible electrical and mechanical modifications (atrial remodeling). Atrial stunning is a mechanical dysfunction with preserved bioelectrical function, occurring after successful atrial fibrillation electrical cardioversion (ECV). Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography is a new technology for ev...

Background:
Ganglionated plexi (GPs) play an important role in both the initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). GPs can be located by using continuous high-frequency stimulation (HFS) to elicit a vagal response, but whether the vagal response phenomenon is common to patients without AF is unknown.
Methods:
HFS of the left atria...
