Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an extremely common cardiac rhythm disorder that causes
substantial morbidity and contributes to mortality. The mechanisms underlying AF are …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical
practice, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Electrophysiologically, it is …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to verify whether angiotensin-II converting
enzyme (ACE) inhibition is also effective in preventing relapses of lone atrial fibrillation …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac rhythm abnormality and represents a major
burden, both to patients and to health-care systems. In recent years, increasing evidence …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) was first described in humans approximately 100 years ago, 1 and
familial forms of AF were reported more than 70 years ago. 2, 3 Within the last 10 years, 3 …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice.
Despite the common association of AF with cardiovascular disease, some patients can be …

Recent studies of AF have identified mutations in a series of ion channels; however, these
mutations appear to be relatively rare causes of AF. A genome-wide association study has …

Aims Recent observations have raised concerns regarding the activation of the renin–
angiotensin system and the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Some initial studies …
