Atrial Fibrillation(AF) affects 1-2 % of the population, and its prevalence is expected to increase in the next 50 years.1,2 The treatment of these patients includes either restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm (SR) or control of the ventricular rate.3 Electrical cardioversion (ECV) can be effective in restoring SR in the majority of patients; however, it is associated with several risks… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia with a relevant socio-economic impact.1–3 Patients with atrial fibrillation are characterised by symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath; they have reduced exercise capacity and are subject to a higher risk of thromboembolic events. In spite of a relatively simple diagnosis, management of AF patients is difficult for… View more

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiac disorder, with an autosomal dominant mechanism of inheritance.1,2 It has a prevalence of 1 in 500 within the general population, and is a known cause of sudden cardiac death.2,3 Recognised autosomal dominant mutations within sarcomere proteins are found in 55 % of adolescents with sporadic HCM.4 Characteristic echocardiographic… View more

AF is the most common rhythm disorder. It is estimated AF will affect 6–12 million Americans by 2050 and 17.9 million Europeans by 2060.1–4 AF is responsible for significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs.5–7 Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is also a rising epidemic that will afflict over 8 million Americans by 2030.8 AF is common in patients with HFrEF9,10 and… View more

AF is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance.1 Worldwide, there is an estimated 33.5 million people with AF as of 2010.2 While there are multiple estimates, the yearly incidence in the US is expected to grow, for example, from 1.2 million cases in 2010 to 2.6 million cases in 2030 and upwards of 6–12 million cases by 2050.1,3 It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality4… View more

Imbalance of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic/parasympathetic) is known to contribute to the pathophysiology of multiple cardiovascular diseases, including AF, MI (and related ventricular arrhythmias) and heart failure. The concept of neuro-immune axis has been proposed to tightly integrate the brain–heart–periphery axis, which is characterised by various pathways of the anti… View more
