Epicardial Mapping of Chronic Atrial Fibrillation in Patients. Preliminary Observations

TL;DR: In 9 patients with chronic AF, the commonest recorded AEG pattern showed an area of regular, rapid rhythm, consistent with the possibility that a driver causing fibrillatory conduction is one mechanism of AF in these patients.

Anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy use in 426 patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation implications for bleeding risk and prognosis.

TL;DR: Patients with AF undergoing PCI with stenting represent a high-risk population because of age, comorbidities, and presence of stroke risk factors and have a high mortality and MACE rate, which is reduced by anticoagulation therapy.
