Although catheter ablation is an effective treatment for recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF), there is no consensus on the definition of success or follow-up strategies. Symptoms are the major motivation for undergoing catheter ablation in p...

The inability to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation(PVI) remains a major limitation to a catheter ablation for thew treatment of atrial fibrillation(AF), potentially resulting in AF recurrence.In this review,we discuss the research pe...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with substantial structural changes at cell and tissue level. Cellular hypertrophy, disintegration of sarcomeres, mitochondrial swelling and apoptosis have been described as typical histo-morphologic a...
Diastolic Function in Normal Sinus Rhythm vs. Chronic Atrial Fibrillation: Comparison by Fractionation of E-wave Deceleration Time into Stiffness and Relaxation Components [0.03%]

Although the electrophysiologic derangement responsible for atrial fibrillation (AF) has been elucidated, how AF remodels the ventricular chamber and affects diastolic function (DF) has not been fully characterized. The previously validated...
Ventricular Rate Stabilization In Patients With Permanent Atrial Fibrillation And Single-Chamber Ventricular Pacemaker: RARE-PEARL Study [0.03%]

The increasing burden of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is highly relevant to cardiologists, as cardiovascular mortality is 10-30 times higher amongst people with End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD), comparing with general population. One of the c...
