Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) complicates 20–40% of cardiac surgical procedures
and 10–20% of non-cardiac thoracic operations. Typical features include onset at 2–4 days …

Background: Among his major cardiac electrophysiological contributions, Miles Vaughan
Williams (1918–2016) provided a classification of antiarrhythmic drugs that remains central …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant arrhythmia and is associated

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, is an important
contributor to population morbidity and mortality. An arrhythmia that is particularly common …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia that can occur as the result of numerous different
pathophysiological processes in the atria. Some aspects of the morphological and …
