Despite significant advances in its detection, understanding and management, atrial
fibrillation (AF) remains a highly prevalent cardiac arrhythmia with a major impact on …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex cardiac arrhythmia with diverse etiology that negatively
affects morbidity and mortality of millions of patients. Technological and experimental …

In recent years, atrial fibrillation (AF) development from paroxysmal to persistent or
permanent forms has become an important issue in cardiovascular disorders. Information …

Objective: The present study proposes a model-based, statistical approach to characterizing
episode patterns in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Thanks to the rapid advancement of …

Mathematical models of cardiac electrical excitation are increasingly complex, with
multiscale models seeking to represent and bridge physiological behaviours across …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke by a factor of 4–5 and is the most common
abnormal heart rhythm. The progression of AF with age, from short self-terminating episodes …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is not benign. Cardiovascular diseases and risk factors differ
importantly amongst patients. Careful phenotyping with the aim to start tailored therapy may …

The mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF) maintenance in humans is yet to be determined. It
remains controversial whether cardiac fibrillatory dynamics are the result of a deterministic …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart condition, has been a well-researched topic for the past few
decades. This multidisciplinary field of study deals with signal processing, finite element …
