The yearly incidence of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is approximately 5%,1 which is five times higher than in comparable populations in sinus rhythm (SR). The stroke risk largely depends on the underlying heart disease. In 'lone' AF (absence of heart disease) the stroke risk is only 0.5% per year,2 whereas in AF associated with rheumatic valvular heart disease (VHD), like…

Non-pharmacologic treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved rapidly in the last decade and multiple technical approaches have been developed, starting from surgical atrial linear lesions to transcatheter ablation, leading to progress in AF physiopathology comprehension and to the understanding that a curative therapy for AF may exist, at least for a subgroup of patients.
The early…

Currently available antiarrhythmic drugs for the treatment of atrial fibrillation are limited in their efficacy and have potential for adverse effects, including torsade de pointes. With the aging of the population, the incidence of atrial fibrillation will double in frequency over the next 15 years. Thus, more effective and safer antiarrhythmic drugs for the treatment of atrial fibrillation are…

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type of arrhythmia, is a rapid uncoordinated generation of electrical impulses by the atrial chambers of the heart. Its prevalence increases with age from less than 1% in people aged <60 years to 10% in individuals aged >80 years. AF is a powerful independent risk factor for stroke and mortality, conferring a five-fold and 1.5- to 1.9-fold increase…

Epidemiology and Prognostic Significance
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are two major cardiovascular problems that predispose to each other and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice, affecting 0.4–1% of the general population, with its prevalence increasing with age.1,2 In addition, the estimated…
