Unlike paroxysmal AF, which describes symptoms that last for seven days or fewer, persistent AF is a sustained arrhythmia that lasts for more than a week 1. Circulation. Early treatment of persistent AF can reduce the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart failure, and may prevent the disease from becoming permanent.
When atrialfibrillation (AF) begins, it can start with a single focus, degenerating to multiple wavelets, and it spreads throughout the entire surface area of both atria. A fibrillatory wave that occurs at a rate of more than 600 beats per minute can cause fatigue in the long run, leading to atrial dilation.
Circulation, Ahead of Print. Recommendations from the “2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With AtrialFibrillation” and the “2019 AHA/ACC/HRS Focused Update of the 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With AtrialFibrillation” have been updated with new evidence to guide clinicians.
A JACC study suggests that atrialfibrillation is far more prevalent than many previously thought, estimating that nearly one in 20 American adults have been diagnosed with the disease. That’s far higher than previous estimates, including a pair of JAMA and Circulation studies that estimated nationwide AFib rates of 2.26M and 5.1M
Patients who present with persistent atrialfibrillation at diagnosis are more likely to have certain risk factors as compared with patients with occasional atrialfibrillation (AFib).
a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTechi , revealed findings from a company-funded study of real-world data. AFib is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia and affects more than 6 million people in the United States and nearly 38 million people worldwide.2,3 Circulation Research.
Torsade de pointes (TdP) was not a rare arrhythmia in Israel during the 1970s–1980s as many patients, mainly with atrialfibrillation (AF), were treated with QT-prolonging antiarrhythmic drugs. Our experience was published in 1981 in Circulation.1
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in the world and increases the risk for stroke and morbidity.
Her Apple Watch suddenly told her that she is in atrialfibrillation. Patients with healthy AV nodes who are not on AV nodal blockers and who are not hyperkalemic should have a rapid ventricular response if they have paroxysmal Atrialfibrillation. Exam was completely normal except for an irregular heart rate.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:It is difficult to identify patients with atrialfibrillation (AF) most likely to respond to ablation.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone is less effective in patients with persistent atrialfibrillation (AF) compared with those with paroxysmal AF. to 3.4%]; hazard ratio, 0.66 [95% CI, 0.460.94]).

Extracellular potassium ([K+]0) may affect AF generation and anti-AF efficacy of the sodium channel blockers.Methods:AF burden (i.e.,
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Inflammation may promote atrialfibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. Colchicine did not prevent atrialarrhythmia recurrence at 2 weeks (31% versus 32%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.98 [95% CI, 0.59–1.61];P=0.92)
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:The strongest genetic risk factors for atrialfibrillation (AF) are DNA variants on chromosome 4q25 near the transcription factor genePITX2.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. There was no difference in 12-month atrialfibrillation-free survival between the 90W and 50W groups (P=0.2).CONCLUSIONS:Similarly CONCLUSIONS:Similarly high rates of durable PVI and arrhythmia-free survival were achieved with 90W and 50W.
Getty Images milla1cf Fri, 12/08/2023 - 08:17 December 8, 2023 — The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA), along with several other leading medical associations, have issued a new guideline for preventing and optimally managing atrialfibrillation (AFib). This is a complex disease.
Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:The relationship between heart failure (HF) and atrialfibrillation (AF) is clear, with up to half of patients with HF progressing to AF. The pathophysiological basis of AF in the context of HF is presumed to result from atrial remodeling.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:An association between sweetened beverages and several cardiometabolic diseases has been reported, but their association with atrialfibrillation (AF) is unclear.
Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), a common age-associated phenomenon, associates with increased risk of both hematological malignancy and cardiovascular disease.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:There is a need for improved approaches to rhythm control therapy of atrialfibrillation (AF).METHODS:The METHODS:The effectiveness of flecainide (1.5
Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 17, Issue 1 , Page e015969, January 1, 2024. BACKGROUND:Postoperative atrialfibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery being associated with poorer outcomes. P<0.001). and 85.7%, respectively (P<0.001).
Detection of Irregular Heart Rhythms Devices such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit Sense can detect irregular heart rhythms, including atrialfibrillation (AFib). Abnormal readings can signal issues with circulation or lung function, prompting further investigation. Sleep Monitoring Quality sleep is essential for heart health.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. These findings do not support the routine inclusion of SVC ablation in cryoballoon procedures for first-time catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal or nonlong-standing persistent atrialfibrillation. versus 72%;P=0.41).

Atrialfibrillation is also a predictor of worse outcomes in this case (Alborzi). Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging.
