BACKGROUND: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia in the world with a prevalence of 1%-2%. AF is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as stroke, heart failure, and coronary artery dise...

BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) remodeling plays a significant role in the progression of atrial fibrillation (AF). Although LA wall thickness (LAWT) has emerged as an indicator of structural remodeling, its impact on AF outcomes remains unclear. We aim...

BACKGROUND: Machine learning-based analysis can accurately detect atrial fibrillation (AF) from photoplethysmograms (PPGs), however the computational requirements for analyzing raw PPG waveforms can be significant. The analysis of PPG-derived peak-to...
BACKGROUND: The burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains heavy. Glycaemic control is important in the AF management. Glycaemic variability (GV), an emerging marker of glycaemic control, is associated with unfavourab...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive disease, and its clinical type is classified according to the AF duration: paroxysmal AF, persistent AF (PeAF; AF duration of less than 1 year), and long-standing persistent AF (AF duration of mor...

BACKGROUND: The prediction of ischaemic stroke in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) but without atrial fibrillation (AF) remains challenging. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) in identif...
Clinical risk scores that predict outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have modest predictive value. Machine learning (ML) may achieve greater results when predicting adverse outcomes in patients with recently diagnosed AF. Several ML m...

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular hospitalization (CVH), which may be triggered by changes in daily burden. Machine learning of dynamic trends in atrial fibrillation burden, as measured by insertab...
Computational models of atrial fibrillation (AF) can help improve success rates of interventions, such as ablation. However, evaluating the efficacy of different treatments requires performing multiple costly simulations by pacing at different points...
BACKGROUND: Aging is a key risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), a prevalent cardiac disorder among the elderly. This study aims to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of AF in the context of aging.
