Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) share risk factors and are bidirectionally associated. Several studies found higher risks of outcomes in individuals with both conditions. Whether the risks of outcomes differ according to temporal order of AF and AMI is unclear. Methods The study was based on the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort.

Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia with a lifetime risk of nearly 30%. It can be associated with reduced quality of life and complications such as heart failure and stroke. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the most effective treatment for rhythm control. It has initially been performed with fluoroscopic catheter guiding. The advent of three-dimensional (3D) electro-anatomical mapping has significantly reduced the need for fluoroscopy.

Aging significantly affects intercellular communication between vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and hematopoietic cells, leading to vascular inflammation and age-associated diseases. This study determined how senescent ECs communicate with monocytes, whether extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from senescent ECs affect monocyte functions, and investigated the potential for epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a flavonoid in green tea, to reverse these effects.
