TL;DR: In this retrospective monocentric study, the presence of moderate/severe LASEC was an independent predictor of stroke/death at 5-year follow-up in patients with NVAF and the inclusion of LAS EC in stroke risk scores could modestly improve risk stratification.

Michel Haïssaguerre,Pierre Jaïs,D. C. Shah,Atsushi Takahashi,Mélèze Hocini,G Quiniou,S. Garrigue,A Le Mouroux,P Le Métayer,Jacques Clementy +9 more
TL;DR: The pulmonary veins are an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and these foci respond to treatment with radio-frequency ablation.

TL;DR: There was a significant AF-sex interaction: AF diminished the female advantage in survival and AF remained significantly associated with excess mortality, with about a doubling of mortality in both sexes in subjects free of valvular heart disease and preexisting cardiovascular disease.
