The pathophysiology of AF is complex and incompletely understood to date.1,2 AF is a progressive disease of the atria involving a multitude of mechanisms related to its initiation, maintenance and progression. Experimental evidence suggest that AF is characterised by alternations in atrial size, shape electrophysiology, autonomic innervation, and cardiomyocyte metabolism, as well as development…

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a chronic condition that is characterised by elevated pulmonary vascular pressures and can be caused by several disease processes (see Table 1).1 Regardless of the aetiology, PH is a progressive disease with a clinical course characterised by frequent decompensations in advanced stages and often a poor prognosis despite the development of novel therapeutic agents.2…

Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice, its prevalence is relatively low in the young and middle-aged, ranging from 0.5 % in men below 40 years to 1 % by 60 years.1,2 Regular exercise is proposed as a powerful tool for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, reducing most of the risk factors that predispose to AF,…

There are numerous conglomerations of autonomic ganglia on the epicardial surface of the heart, known as ganglionated plexi (GP). These GP have been shown to play a significant role in different arrhythmias, including AF. As such, GP ablation has become an adjunctive procedure in the treatment of AF. This review will present the current data on the significance of GP in arrhythmogenesis and will…

Maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with non-paroxysmal AF is often challenging and complex. Catheter ablation is usually superior to anti-arrhythmic drug therapy alone. However, recurrence rates are high and have remained suboptimal. Although pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is usually effective in treating paroxysmal AF, it is not sufficient for many patients with non-paroxysmal AF,…
