DOI: 10.1007/s00392-021-01850-x
Abstract: Relevant atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM), defined as a left atrial (LA) low-voltage area ≥ 2 cm2 at 0.5 mV threshold on endocardial contact mapping, is associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF), higher arrhythmia recurrence rates after pulmonary vein… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvac054
Abstract: Abstract Premature atrial contractions are a common cardiac phenomenon. Although previously considered a benign electrocardiographic finding, they have now been associated with a higher risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) and other adverse outcomes such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2022-061018
Abstract: Introduction Despite workup for the aetiology of ischaemic stroke, about 25% of cases remain unexplained. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is typically suspected but often not detected. Even if atrial fibrillation (AF) is detected, the quantitative threshold… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circresaha.120.317007
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation is uncommon in healthy young individuals. Diverse pathologies, including hypertension, valvular disease, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, cancer and aging are associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Why? Recent studies have shown… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.674612
Abstract: Nearly 30% of ischemic strokes have an unknown cause, which are referred to as cryptogenic strokes (CS). Imaging studies suggest that a large proportion of these patients show features that are consistent with embolism, and… read more here.

Electrical, structural, and autonomic atrial remodeling underlies atrial fibrillation in inflammatory atrial cardiomyopathy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine"
DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1075358
Abstract: Background There is growing evidence indicating a close relationship between inflammation and atrial fibrillation (AF). Although underlying inflammatory atrial cardiomyopathy may contribute to the development of AF, the arrhythmogenic remodeling caused by atrial inflammation has… read more here.
