Modern anticoagulation therapy has dramatically reduced the risk of stroke and systemic
thromboembolism in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, AF still impairs quality of …

Evidence suggests potential links between circadian rhythm and atrial fibrillation (AF).
However, whether circadian disruption can predict the onset of AF in the general population …

The modification of physical activity (PA) on the metabolic status in relation to atrial
