Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with impaired coronary flow and diminished myocardial
perfusion [1–3]. In a previous study, we demonstrated that patients with AF in the absence of …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with impaired coronary flow and diminished
myocardial perfusion. In the present study we aimed to evaluate coronary blood flow by …

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently present with symptoms suggestive of
myocardial isch-aemia, even in the absence of significant CAD, that seem to be attributable …

INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with impaired coronary flow by means
of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count (TFC). Mean platelet volume …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, characterized by a lack of atrial
contraction and an irregular ventricular rhythm. We assessed the effect of fibrillatory wave …

Abstract Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) is now a new method for the assessment of the
extent of coronary artery stenosis but may be obscured by involvement of the mutated status …

Aims To assess the effect of experimentally induced atrial fibrillation on coronary flow in
humans. Methods and Results In 16 patients (10 men, mean age 43±13 years) with normal …

Aims Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) present with symptoms of myocardial ischaemia
despite exclusion of coronary artery disease. A small vessel disease has been suggested …

Background Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have an increased risk of ischaemic stroke.
The risk can be predicted by the CHA 2 DS 2-VASc score, in which the vascular component …

Aims Patients with non-ischaemic systolic heart failure often have reduced myocardial blood
flow without significant coronary atherosclerosis. Likewise, patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) …
