Our knowledge of the association between abdominal obesity (AO) and the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) after adjusting for body mass index (BMI) is limited. We included 11,617 Black and…
Cardiac arrhythmias have been observed in patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Most analyses of rhythm disturbances to date include cases of sinus tachycardia, which may not accurately reflect true…
Despite the current use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) for guiding revascularization in atrial fibrillation (AF), there is a lack of studies evaluating their reliability…
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who take direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) face the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), which can be serious and even life threatening, but the risk of…
Implantable loop recorder (ILR) is recommended to detect subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryptogenic stroke; however, the clinical outcomes of this practice is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and…
Evidence on the efficacy and safety of low-dose direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) in older patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is still scarce. We conducted a single-center prospective registry of patients…
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can potentially interact with multiple prescription medications. We examined the prevalence of co-prescription of DOACs with interacting medications and its impact on outcomes in patients with…
The clinical efficacy of the inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) as an upstream therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) prevention is controversial. No study has itemized so far the role…
Highlights • Sustained weight loss significantly lowers incidence of cardiometabolic outcomes. • Sustained weight loss significantly delays onset of cardiometabolic outcomes. • Greater weight loss significantly delays onset of cardiometabolic…
We aimed to investigate a causal effect of functional sarcopenia status, including poor handgrip strength and slow walking pace, on cardiovascular diseases. This study was an observational cohort study including…
