The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia and a major
public health burden, increases exponentially with age. However, mechanisms underlying …

Although the cardiovascular benefits of moderate exercise are well established, there is
growing epidemiological support for the notion that high-intensity endurance athletics …

Vagal atrial fibrillation (AF) remains an under-recognised entity, affecting younger patients
often with structurally normal hearts. Although there remains no universal definition or …

Necroptosis, a novel programmed cell death, plays a critical role in the development of
fibrosis, yet its role in atrial fibrillation (AF) remains elusive. Mounting evidence …

Background Atrial remodeling, vagal tone, and atrial ectopic triggers are suggested to
contribute to increased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in endurance athletes. How these …

Exercise is an emerging cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) in young individuals without
coexisting cardiovascular risk factors. The causes of exercise-induced atrial fibrillation …

The cardiovascular benefits of regular exercise have been well described, including a
significant reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality for those meeting …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death in men and women.
Biological sex plays a major role in cardiovascular physiology and pathological …

Background Long‐term exercise induces cardiac remodeling that potentially influences the
electrical properties of the heart. Hypothesis/objectives We assessed whether training alters …

Aims Endurance exercise is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). We
previously established that adverse atrial remodelling and AF susceptibility induced by …
