Heart failure and its complications in patients with diabetes: Mounting evidence for a growing burden:

TL;DR: There is insufficient data to suggest systematic screening for HF in asymptomatic patients with diabetes, and there is little evidence to indicate that improved glycaemic control improves HF outcome in this population.

Association between left atrial phasic conduit function and early atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients undergoing electrical cardioversion

TL;DR: It is suggested that LAC larger contribution to LV filling soon after EC reflects LA–LV stiffening, which skews atrioventricular interaction leading to AF perpetuation and makes conduit dominance a powerful predictor of early AF recurrence.

Patients' Experiences of Living with Atrial Fibrillation: A Mixed Methods Study

TL;DR: Patients with AF experienced a limited ability to perform activities of daily living due to AF which created different kinds of worries that encouraged the use of various strategies to manage their lives.

BMI modifies the association between serum HDL cholesterol and stroke in a hypertensive population without atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: The finding suggested that BMI could modify the association between HDL-C and stroke in hypertensive populations without AF.

The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio as a new predictor for postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

TL;DR: This study aimed to investigate the predictive significance of C‐reactive protein/albumin ratio for postoperative atrial fibrillation occurrence in patients who were underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

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.
