Factors Predisposing to the Development of Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: Atrial fibrillation is in most patients (approximately 70%) associated with organic heart disease including valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiopathy, and congenitalHeart disease, mostly atrial septal defect in adults.

Atrial Arrhythmias During Chronic Follow‐Up of Surgery for Complex Congenital Heart Disease

TL;DR: Radiofrequency ablation of the atrial regions critical to reentrant circuits, which was discovered to be of value in patients with atrial flutter and a normal heart is being applied to this diverse group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long term follow up of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial flutter: clinical course and predictors of atrial fibrillation occurrence

TL;DR: Preablation AF, age < 65 years, and left atrial size > 50 mm are associated with post ablation AF occurrence, and the occurrence of AF was progressive during follow up.

Amiodarone for pharmacological cardioversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: Amiodarone is not superior to the other antiarrhythmic drugs conventionally used for the pharmacological cardioversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation but is relatively safe in patients with structural heart disease and in those with depressed left ventricle function.

The continuum of personalized cardiovascular medicine: a position paper of the European Society of Cardiology

TL;DR: Clinical information obtained from history and physical examination, functional and imaging studies, biochemical biomarkers, genetic/epigenetic data, and pathophysiological insights into disease-driving processes need to be integrated into a new taxonomy of CVDs to allow personalized disease management.
