Screening for atrial fibrillation: a call for evidence.

TL;DR: An overview of the gaps in the current evidence and a summary of the arguments for and against screening are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mortality and causes of death in patients with atrial fibrillation: A nationwide population-based study.

TL;DR: The impact of atrial fibrillation on mortality decreased with age and in men, but Cerebral infarction was the most common cause of death, and more attention should be paid to reducing the risk of stroke.

Laboratory Monitoring of Non–Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant Use in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Review

TL;DR: Robust evidence from patients with atrial fibrillation randomized to NOACs or warfarin demonstrates that unmonitored NOAC therapy is at least as effective and safe as monitored warfarins, with lower rates of intracranial hemorrhage and reduced mortality.

COVID-19 associated atrial fibrillation: Incidence, putative mechanisms and potential clinical implications.

TL;DR: The available evidence for prevalence and incidence of AF in patients infected with the severe acute respiratory syndromecoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is reviewed and disease management approaches and potential treatment options for COVID-19 infected AF patients are discussed.

Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. TOAST. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment

TL;DR: The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement and should allow investigators to report responses to treatment among important subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins

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.
