Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac arrhythmia commonly encountered in clinical practice, and
it is strongly associated with an increased risk of stroke, cardiovascular events, and death …

Background There is a paucity of data on the association between respiratory function and
atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to assess the relationship between forced expiratory …

We investigated the association between lung function and atrial fibrillation (AF) in 21,349
adults without AF aged≥ 40 years who underwent spirometry. The study participants were …

Background: Chronic pulmonary disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) and fibrosing lung diseases, and atrial fibrillation (AF), are prevalent in elderly …

Background Decreased pulmonary function is a possible risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF).
However, data on this relationship in Asian populations are scant. The aim of this study was …

Background: Observational studies have identified impaired lung function accessed by
forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) or the ratio of …

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the
relationship between chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) and reduced pulmonary function …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been associated with a high frequency of
arrhythmias. Few studies have analysed the role of reduced lung function in predicting atrial …

Background—Reduced low forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is reportedly
associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Extant reports do not provide …

DISCUSSION: AF is believed to originate from abnormal conduction pathways near the
pulmonary veins, with the pooling of blood in the left atrial appendage leading to thrombus …
