All-cause mortality in 272 186 patients hospitalized with incident atrial fibrillation 1995–2008: a Swedish nationwide long-term case–control study

TL;DR: Atrial fibrillation was an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality in patients with incident AF and the concomitant diseases that contributed most were found outside the thromboembolic risk scores.

Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation.

TL;DR: CPAP is an important therapy in OSA patients undergoing PVI that improves arrhythmia free survival and PVI offers limited value to OSA Patients not treated with CPAP.

Stroke in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: report from the Stockholm Cohort of Atrial Fibrillation.

TL;DR: Ischaemic stroke is about as common in PxAF as in PermAF, and about twice as common as in the general population, and it is therefore important to increase the use of anticoagulants among P xAF patients in accordance with current guideline recommendations.

Transthoracic Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation Comparison of Rectilinear Biphasic Versus Damped Sine Wave Monophasic Shocks

TL;DR: For transthoracic cardioversion of atrial fibrillation, rectilinear biphasic shocks have greater efficacy (and require less energy) than damped sine wave monophasic shocks.
