Study of P wave dispersion in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and its role in prediction of atrial fibrillation recurrence
BackgroundIt has been known that increased P wave duration and P wave dispersion reflect prolongation of intra-atrial and interatrial conduction time...

A rare case of an unexpected trigger of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in the right atrial appendage diverticulum
IntroductionWe described a rare case of an adolescent girl with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation originating from the right atrial appendage...

Left atrial volume index and interleukin-6 as predictors for postoperative atrial fibrillation
BackgroundPostoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery. However, the predictive value of single indictor...

Lenient rate control versus strict rate control for atrial fibrillation: a statistical analysis plan for the Danish Atrial Fibrillation (DanAF) randomized clinical trial
BackgroundA key decision in the treatment of atrial fibrillation is choosing between a rhythm control strategy or a rate control strategy as the main...

Incidence and predictors of left atrial thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation under anticoagulation therapy
BackgroundLeft atrial thrombus (LAT) formation is associated with thromboembolic events.
ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence and associated...

Association of left atrial wall thickness with recurrence after cryoballoon ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
BackgroundTransmural injury plays a role in successful atrial fibrillation ablation. The effect of left atrial wall thickness (LAWT) on the efficacy...

The validity and reliability of Indonesian version of atrial fibrillation effect on quality of life (AFEQT) questionnaire for atrial fibrillation patients
BackgroundMore than 60% of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have a significant health-related quality of life (HRQoL) impairment. HRQoL, a...

New-onset hypertension as a contributing factor to the incidence of atrial fibrillation in the elderly
Hypertension and atrial fibrillation are closely related. However, hypertension is already prevalent in young adults, but atrial fibrillation usually...

Atrial fibrosis by cardiac MRI is a correlate for atrial stiffness in patients with atrial fibrillation
A relationship between left atrial strain and pressure has been demonstrated in many studies, but not in an atrial fibrillation (AF) cohort. In this...
