Even before the sinoatrial node (SAN) was discovered, cardiovascular science was
engaged in an active investigation of when and why the heart would beat. After the …

Obesity is a well‐known risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Local epi‐myocardial or intra‐
myocardial adiposity caused by aging, obesity, or cardiovascular disease (CVD) is …

Background Short and long sleep durations are common behaviors that could predict
several cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between sleep duration and …

Arrhythmogenic substrate, modulating factors, and triggering factors (the so-called Coumel's
triangle concept) play a primary role in atrial fibrillation (AF) pathophysiology. Several years …

Detailed cardiac neuroanatomy is critical for understanding cardiac function and its
pathology. However, there remains a significant gap in knowledge regarding the blood …

Objective To explore the role of m6A regulatory genes in atrial fibrillation (AF), we classified
atrial fibrillation patients into subtypes by two genotyping methods associated with m6A …

Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is proposed as a promising therapy for patients with sinoatrial
node dysfunction (SND) that is mediated by excessive vagal tone. However, a series of …

The heart is one of the most richly innervated organs and the impact of the complex cardiac
autonomic network on atrial electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis, including on atrial …

Background Recent studies have suggested an association between sleep duration and
cardiovascular diseases; however, the link to AF is inconclusive. This study aimed to explore …

Background As a marker of the autonomic nervous system, resting heart rate is a predictor of
postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). However, its predictive value for POAF after …
