Investigators evaluated the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral emboli and cognitive outcomes in patients receiving pulsed field ablation for AF.

Atrial fibrillation occurs when cardiac electrical impulses become disordered, leading to a rapid and irregular heartbeat. Lip and colleagues discuss the mechanisms that underlie this common ...

There is a link between atypical heart sounds and atrial fibrillation. People with this condition have an irregular, disorganized heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation is a serious type of arrhythmia, which ...

Subgroup analyses suggest an individualized approach may be helpful, but the findings are not definitive, one expert says.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a type of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, and is a disease of the electrical system of the heart. The heart has two upper chambers, called atria, and two lower ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) involves abnormal electrical activity in the upper chambers (atria) of your heart, which causes the organ to beat quickly and irregularly. This abnormal beating ...

New research from a multi-institutional team, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, reveals that heart failure and atrial fibrillation share underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms, ...

There is a wide range of available treatments for atrial fibrillation. Patients may be entirely treated by their GP (general practitioner, primary care physician), while others may require the ...

Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which the heart has an irregular and usually rapid heart rate or arrhythmia. This inhibits blood flow and circulation through the body, posing several health ...

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is related to inflammation in your body, like other heart disease. Some research suggests that inflammation can cause AFib or make it worse if you already have it. Other ...
