Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation in the 21st Century: Novel Methods and New Insights

TL;DR: Current knowledge is summarized in an attempt to untangle these multifaceted associations of atrial fibrillation from an epidemiological perspective and their relevance for future prevention and disease management.

Predictors of Device-Related Thrombus Following Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Trevor Simard, +75 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a DRT registry via a multicenter collaboration aimed to assess outcomes and predictors of DRT and found that DRT presence was associated with a higher risk of the composite endpoint of death, ischemic stroke, or systemic embolization.

Optimizing indices of AF susceptibility and burden to evaluate AF severity, risk and outcomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, atrial fibrillation (AF) has heterogeneous patterns of presentation concerning symptoms, duration of episodes, AF burden, and the tendency to progress towards the terminal step of permanent AF.

Clinical Importance of Left Atrial Infiltration in Cardiac Transthyretin Amyloidosis

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors characterized left atrial pathology in explanted heart with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM); LA mechanics using echocardiographic speckle-tracking; and studied the association with mortality.

Mechanisms of thrombogenesis in atrial fibrillation: Virchow's triad revisited

TL;DR: Changes in vessel walls and blood constituents result in the fulfilment of Virchow's triad for thrombogenesis, and accord with a prothrombotic or hypercoagulable state in this arrhythmia.

Asymmetric redirection of flow through the heart

TL;DR: This work shows the asymmetric redirection of streaming blood in atrial and ventricular cavities of the adult human heart, with sinuous, chirally asymmetric paths of flow through the whole, and proposes that asymmetries and curvatures of the looped heart have potential fluidic and dynamic advantages.

High prevalence of viral genomes and multiple viral infections in the myocardium of adults with "idiopathic" left ventricular dysfunction.

TL;DR: Viral genomes were frequently detected in EMBs of patients with systolic left ventricular dysfunction, suggesting that myocardial persistence of various viruses may play a role in the pathogenesis of DCM far more frequently than suspected so far.
