TLDR
Although heart failure and hypertension are associated with AF progression, rhythm control is associated with lower risk of AF progression.About:

Duration of device-detected subclinical atrial fibrillation and occurrence of stroke in ASSERT

TL;DR: SCAF duration >24 h was associated with a significant increased risk of subsequent stroke or systemic embolism, and patients with SCAF between 6 min and 24’h was not significantly different from patients without SCAF.

TL;DR: Non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is associated with a highly significant increase in thromboembolism and death and the need for new therapies to prevent AF progression is suggested.

TL;DR: The present document is an expert consensus from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) and the European Heart Rhythm Association and may serve as a guide for both imagers and electrophysiologists for best selecting the imaging technique and for best interpreting its results in AF patients.

PREVEntion and regReSsive Effect of weight-loss and risk factor modification on Atrial Fibrillation: the REVERSE-AF study.

TL;DR: Weight-loss management and RFM reverses the type and natural progression of AF, demonstrating the dynamic relationship between weight/risk factors and AF.

TL;DR: It is proposed that progression from paroxysmal to persistent AF can be interrupted, with potentially favourable prognostic impact, and approaches that prevent development of the AF substrate, earlier catheter ablation, and novel antiarrhythmic drugs are proposed.

TL;DR: Estimates of expected health outcomes for larger societies are included, where data exist, and the level of evidence and the strength of recommendation of particular treatment options are weighed and graded according to pre-defined scales.

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.

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
Epidemiologic features of chronic atrial fibrillation: the Framingham study.
TL;DR: The development of chronic atrial fibrillation was associated with a doubling of overall mortality and of mortality from cardiovascular disease and among the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy were related to the occurrence of atrialfibrillation.
