Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, and can
lead to serious consequences such as ischemic stroke and systemic thromboembolism. The …

Cardiometabolic risk factors, most notably obesity and hypertension, have the greatest
population-attributable risk (PAR) for atrial fibrillation (AF). The five individual risk factors …

Background: Emerging evidence has linked childhood maltreatment with cardiovascular
disease risk; however, the association between childhood maltreatment and cardiac …

Background Diabetic individuals often encounter various sleep-related challenges. Although
the association between sleep duration and atrial fibrillation (AF) have been explored, the …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes progressive structural and electrical changes in the atria that
can be summarized within the general concept of atrial remodeling. In parallel, other clinical …

AF is a prevalent condition that is associated with various modifiable and unmodifiable risk
factors. Drug-induced AF, despite being commonly under-recognised, can be relatively easy …

Background Ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) has been associated with reduced
