A randomised controlled trial and cost-effectiveness study of systematic screening (targeted and total population screening) versus routine practice for the detection of atrial fibrillation in people aged 65 and over. The SAFE study.

TL;DR: The results of the study indicated that in terms of a screening programme for atrial fibrillation in patients 65 and over, the only strategy that improved on routine practice was opportunistic screening, and model-based analyses indicated that there was a probability of approximately 60% of annual opportunistic screenings being cost effective.

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Atrial Arrhythmogenesis in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: Biochemical, functional, and modeling studies point to a combination of increased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ load related to phospholamban hyperphosphorylation and ryanodine receptor dysregulation and enhanced SERCA2a activity as underlying mechanisms for cellular arrhythmogenesis in pAF patients.

Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation by Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibition: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: This analysis supports the concept of RAS inhibition as an emerging treatment for the primary and secondary prevention of AF but acknowledges the fact that some of the primary prevention trials were post-hoc analyses.
