The overarching theme of the expert consensus from the EHRA, HRS, APHRS, and LAHRS is to “use the right tool, for the right outcome, in the right population” when assessing for cardiac arrhythmia risk. The...
While previous research has confirmed the association between CHADS2 score and stroke among patients with AFib, researchers evaluated whether the score was associated with myocardial infarction, cerebral...
Because the safety of individual DOACs relative to warfarin for specific bleeding outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation is unclear, the researchers compared the safety of 3 DOACs with the safety of...
The researchers sought to better understand the prognostic role of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I among patients with newly detected atrial fibrillation. Here is what they found.
Authors of a new study analyzed data on more than 8 million patients to better understand the association between blood pressure variability and atrial fibrillation risk. Do you think hypertension affected...
Researchers investigated whether modest weight loss can improve outcomes in patients with overweight or obesity and established atrial fibrillation. The results of their literature review further highlight...
It is known that anger and stress can trigger episodes of atrial fibrillation in those with a history of AF. Authors of a new study sought to determine whether the triggering effect of these mood states...
