Atrial fibrillation and stroke: how much atrial fibrillation is enough to cause a stroke?

TL;DR: The minimal amount of subclinical atrial fibrillation to warrant anticoagulation for stroke prevention, and how this may be modified by the total duration of monitoring, will be clarified by the results of ongoing clinical trials.
Journal Article

Genome-wide analysis of circular RNA expression profiles in patients with atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there were differentially expressed circ RNAs in human monocytes from AF patients and hsa-miR-328 was the largest node that interacted with circRNAs in the co-expression network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphology and morphometry of pulmonary veins and the left atrium in multi-slice computed tomography.

TL;DR: Morphological features of pulmonary veins and morphometry of the left atrium and pulmonary veins are important for clinical purposes and are in accordance with previous papers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atrial Fibrillation in Primary Aldosteronism

TL;DR: The current evidence of the relationship between PA and AF is outlined, recent progress in the management of PA is highlighted, and the results of medical treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) have been inconsistent.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
