Objectives : The purposes of this study were to describe the prevalence of early recurrences
of atrial fibrillation (ERAF) that occur within two weeks after pulmonary vein (PV) isolation, …

Background— In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the risk of thromboembolic events (TEs)
is variable and is influenced by the presence and number of comorbid conditions. The effect …

Background— The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and mechanistic
implications of segmental pulmonary vein (PV) ostial ablation during atrial fibrillation (AF). …

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) or radiofrequency fields of cellular mobile phones may
affect biological systems by increasing free radicals, which appear mainly to enhance lipid …

Background— The pulmonary veins (PVs) have been demonstrated to often play an important
role in generating atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to determine the …

Aims Oxidative stress has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation
(AF). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of antioxidant agent N-…

To study the effect of atorvastatin on recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after electrical
cardioversion (EC), 48 patients with AF lasting 48 hours who were scheduled for EC were …

Pulmonary Vein Tachycardia. Introduction: The significance of intermittent tachycardia within
a pulmonary vein (PV) during an episode of atrial fibrillation (AF) is unclear. The aim of this …

Increased platelet activation and aggregation which are closely related to cardiovascular
complications have been reported in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of …

Arrhythmias have been reported to occur frequently in symptomatic patients with mitral valve
prolapse (MVP). The mechanisms causing ventricular arrhythmias in patients with MVP …
