Journal ArticleDOI

Empagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, alleviates atrial remodeling and improves mitochondrial function in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

TL;DR: Empagliflozin can ameliorate atrial structural and electrical remodeling as well as improve mitochondrial function and mitochondrial biogenesis in T2DM, hence may be potentially used in the prevention of T2 DM-related atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thiazolidinedione use and atrial fibrillation in diabetic patients: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: This meta-analysis suggests that TZDs may confer protection against AF in the setting of diabetes mellitus (DM) and can be used as upstream therapy for DM patients to prevent the development of AF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Haematological indices as predictors of atrial fibrillation following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, valvular surgery, or combined procedures: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Haematological indices in CBC tests with atrial fibrillation following isolated coronary artery bypass graft, isolated valvular surgery, or a combination of these treatments may predict the risk of POAF before surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperglycemia Induces Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Atrial Cardiomyocytes, and Mitofusin-2 Downregulation Prevents Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Subsequent Cell Death.

TL;DR: Mfn2 plays an important role in high glucose-induced ER stress in atrial cardiomyocytes, and Mfn2 silencing prevents mitochondrial Ca2+ overload-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, thereby decreasing ER stress-mediatedCardiomyocyte cell death.
