In-hospital mortality of patients with atrial arrhythmias: insights from the German-wide Helios hospital network of 161 502 patients and 34 025 arrhythmia-related procedures

TL;DR: In-hospital mortality rates of patients with atrial arrhythmias in a German-wide, multi-centre administrative dataset allows feasible, comparable, and up-to-date performance measurement of clinically important endpoints in a real-world setting which may contribute to quality management programs and towards value-based healthcare.

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.
