Introduction: Although prolonged and fractionated right atrial electrograms have been
reported as predictors of the development of chronic atrial fibrillation in patients with …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. While antiarrhythmic agents
and electrical cardioversion are highly effective in restoring sinus rhythm, the results …

Prevention of atrial fibrillation with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin
receptor blockers Did you know that your browser is out of date? To get the best experience …

Objectives. We sought to investigate whether, in humans, the timing and incidence of a
relapse of atrial fibrillation (AF) during the first month after cardioversion indicates the …

Introduction Management of atrial fibrillation (AF) is hampered by frequent recurrences after
restoration of sinus rhythm. Delayed interatrial conduction has been associated with the …

Background Prolonged periods of atrial fibrillation (AF) or high frequency atrial pacing lead
to a significant shortening of atrial refractory periods. This time-dependent electric …

Background Atrial electrical remodeling (AER) contributes to the maintainance of atrial
fibrillation (AF). This study was to compare the effects of Losartan with those of Diltiazem on …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Independent risk factors for AF
are chronic heart failure and hypertension [1]. The incidence and prevalence of AF increase …

How angiotensin inhibition might protect against AF is not completely known. There is a
plausible scientific basis for the notion that inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system can …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, most notably due
to stroke and heart failure. Maintaining sinus rhythm in AF patients is not an easy task, and …
