The development of atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with electrical and structural
remodeling. The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of electrical and structural …

Hypertension is commonly associated with cardiac arrhythmias in patients with and without
concomitant cardiovascular disease. Experimental and epidemiological studies have …

The inhibition of the renin‐angiotensin system has demonstrated both experimental and
clinical effects in preventing atrial fibrillation. However, there is still uncertainty about the role …

BACKGROUND: The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) deletion allele, ACE D, is
associated with increased ACE activity and adverse outcomes in cardiovascular disease …

OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor
ramipril on the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients enrolled in the Heart Outcomes …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most common clinically encountered arrhythmia. Unlike
supraventricular arrhythmias that use a defined mechanism, AF involves a wide spectrum of …

Patients with arterial hypertension frequently manifest various cardiac rhythm disturbances,
ranging from bradyarrhythmias to supraventricular premature beats, atrial fibrillation, or other …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with activity of renin–angiotensin–
aldosterone system (RAAS). Reduction in renal noradrenaline spillover could be achieved …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants in a number of
chromosomal regions that are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). The mechanisms …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Its
increasing prevalence, particularly among the elderly, renders it one of the most serious …
