Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important and highly prevalent arrhythmia, which is associated
with significantly increased morbidity and mortality, including a four-to five-fold increased …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia in the clinical practice. It
significantly contributes to the morbidity and mortality of the elderly population. Over the past …

Pharmacologic approaches for the treatment of atrial arrhythmias are limited due to side
effects and low efficacy. Thus, the identification of new antiarrhythmic targets is of clinical …

Background: Experimental data suggest ryanodine receptor-mediated intracellular calcium
leak is a mechanism for atrial fibrillation (AF), but evidence in humans is still needed …

The inclusion of nonconducting media, mimicking cardiac fibrosis, in two models of cardiac
tissue produces the formation of ectopic beats. The fraction of nonconducting media in …

Cardiac electrophysiology has evolved into an important subspecialty in cardiovascular
medicine. This is in part due to the significant advances made in our understanding and …

Aims Severe hypokalaemia can aggravate arrhythmia tendency and prognosis, but less is
known about risk of mild hypokalaemia, which is a frequent finding. We examined the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent rhythm disorder in clinical practice, is currently
significantly contributing to morbidity and mortality of the ageing population. In the past …

Background and Purpose—Stroke is independently associated with the common conditions
of hypokalemia and supraventricular ectopy, and we hypothesize that the combination of …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in developed countries. AF is
associated with increased mortality and morbidity due to thromboembolism, stroke and …
