Validation of clinical classification schemes for predicting stroke: results from the national registry of atrial fibrillation☆
Brian F. Gage,Amy D. Waterman,William D. Shannon,Michael Boechler,Michael W. Rich,Martha J. Radford +5 more
TL;DR: The 2 existing classification schemes and especially a new stroke risk index, CHADS, can quantify risk of stroke for patients who have AF and may aid in selection of antithrombotic therapy.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins
Michel Haïssaguerre,Pierre Jaïs,D. C. Shah,Atsushi Takahashi,Mélèze Hocini,G Quiniou,S. Garrigue,A Le Mouroux,P Le Métayer,Jacques Clementy +9 more
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.

A comparison of rate control and rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation.
D. G. Wyse,Albert L. Waldo,John P. DiMarco,Michael J. Domanski,Yves Rosenberg,Eleanor Schron,Joyce C Kellen,H L Greene,M C Mickel,J E Dalquist,Scott D. Corley +10 more
TL;DR: Management of atrial fibrillation with the rhythm-control strategy offers no survival advantage over the rate- control strategy, and there are potential advantages, such as a lower risk of adverse drug effects, with the rate -control strategy.

Atrial Fibrillation Begets Atrial Fibrillation A Study in Awake Chronically Instrumented Goats
TL;DR: Artificial maintenance of AF leads to a marked shortening of AERP, a reversion of its physiological rate adaptation, and an increase in rate, inducibility and stability of AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of rate control and rhythm control in patients with recurrent persistent atrial fibrillation
Isabelle C. Van Gelder,VE Hagens,Hans A. Bosker,J. Herre Kingma,Otto Kamp,T Kingma,Salah A. Said,Julius I. Darmanata,Alphons J.M. Timmermans,Jan G.P. Tijssen,Harry J.G.M. Crijns +10 more
TL;DR: Rate control is not inferior to rhythm control for the prevention of death and morbidity from cardiovascular causes and may be appropriate therapy in patients with a recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion.
