Learn the symptoms and causes of Atrial Fibrillation along with prevention and treatment options in this article. Explore how lifestyle changes can help in managing Atrial Fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation, the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and a major cause of stroke, results from simultaneous reentrant wavelets. Its spontaneous initiation has not been studied.We studi...
The ganglionated plexi (autonomic ganglia of the heart atrium and ventricles) can also be a source of atrial fibrillation, and is sometimes also ablated for that reason. Not only the...

Abstract ; Background : Subclinical atrial fibrillation is short-lasting and asymptomatic and can usually be detected only by long-term continuous monitoring with pacemakers or defibrillators. Subclinical atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of stroke by a factor of 2.5; however, treatment with oral anticoagulation is of uncertain benefit. Results : We included 4012 patients with a mean (±SD) age of 76.8±7.6 years and a mean CHA · 2 · DS · 2-VASc score of 3.9±1.1 ...
In-hospital administration of flecainide and propafenone in a single oral loading dose has been shown to be effective and superior to placebo in terminating atrial fibrillation. We evaluated the fe...
Abstract ; Background : Despite consistent recommendations from clinical guidelines, data from randomized trials on a long-term antithrombotic treatment strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease are still lacking. Results : We assigned 524 patients to the edoxaban monotherapy group and 516 patients to the dual antithrombotic therapy group at 18 sites in South Korea. The mean age of the patients was 72.1 years, 22.9% were women, and the mean CHA · 2 · D...
Atrial fibrillation, also known as A-fib or AF, is one of the most common types of arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms). Atrial fibrillation causes your heart to beat irregularly and sometimes muc...
Perform manual pulse palpation to assess for the presence of an irregular pulse if there is a suspicion of atrial fibrillation. This includes people presenting with any of the following...
