Ibrutinib and acalabrutinib are first- and next-generation Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors (BTKi), respectively, approved for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Ibrutinib has been associated with cardiovascular events, including atrial fibrillatio...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, yet the underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluate a panel of 12 circulating biomarkers representing diverse pathophysiological pathways in 3817 AF patien...
Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Accurate automatic segmentation of the EAT around the Left Atrium (LA) from Magnetic ...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure and atrial fibrillation (HF-AF) frequently coexist, resulting in complex interactions that substantially elevate mortality risk. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model predicting the 3-year al...
Generative Counterfactual Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) offers a novel approach to understanding how AI models interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs). Traditional explanation methods focus on highlighting important ECG segments but often fai...
OBJECTIVE: Left atrial thrombus (LAT) poses a significant risk for stroke and other thromboembolic complication in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and predictors of LAT in patients with paroxysmal AF...
This study evaluated large language models (LLMs) using 30 questions, each derived from a recommendation in the 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for atrial fibrillation (AF) management. These recommendations were stratified by cla...
Early detection of atrial fibrillation (AFib) is crucial for altering its natural progression and complication profile. Traditional demographic and lifestyle factors often fail as predictors of AFib. This study investigated pre-operative, circulating...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been a prevalent and serious arrhythmia associated with increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is considered as the golden standard for AF diagnosis. However, current ECG is primarily use...

Real time 2D phase contrast (RTPC) MRI is useful for flow quantification in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, but data analysis requires time-consuming anatomical contouring for many cardiac time frames. Our goal was to develop a convolutional neura...
