The European Society of Cardiology quality indicators in atrial fibrillation in centers of excellence in Spain: the SEC-EXCELENTE FA registry.
Rev Esp Cardiol (Engl Ed)
September 2024
Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Victoria, Málaga, Spain.
Introduction And Objectives: By 2022, 9 centers had been accredited by the Spanish Society of Cardiology for the atrial fibrillation (AF) process. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of these centers based on the quality indicators (QIs) proposed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2020.
Methods: Adults with AF who were attended in the cardiology departments of participating centers during the second week of May 2019 were included in a retrospective registry (n=797, age 72±11 years, 60% male).
Delayed diagnosis and missed opportunities in the early detection of atrial fibrillation: a cross-sectional study.
Rev Clin Esp (Barc)
November 2024
Servicio de Medicina Interna, Hospital Costa del Sol de Marbella, Málaga, Spain.
Introduction: We analysed the frequency of atrial fibrillation (AF) delayed diagnosis and the factors associated with it in newly diagnosed patients.
Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, multicentre study. Data were collected from newly diagnosed patients with AF through medical records review and interviews during cardiology, internal medicine, primary care and emergency department consultations in Spain.
Predictors of systolic function recovery after atrial fibrillation ablation in heart failure patients.

Serviço de Cardiologia, Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal; iCBR, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal.
Introduction And Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) often coexist. AF catheter ablation improves left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), but its impact varies between patients. We aimed to identify predictors of LVEF improvement in HF patients with impaired LVEF undergoing AF ablation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia and is related with significant morbidity, mortality and costs. In spite of relevant advances in the prevention of embolic events and rhythm control, little has been done to reduce its prevalence, progression and impact, since it increases with ageing as well as with common risk factors such as alcohol intake, tobacco use and stress as well as with arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, sleep apnea, kidney failure, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease, ischemic heart disease and stroke, among other important comorbidities. Fortunately, new evidence suggests that lifestyle modifications and adequate risk factors and comorbidities control could be effective in primary and secondary AF prevention, especially in its paroxysmal presentations.

: Left atrial (LA) remodelling and dilatation predicts atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrences after catheter ablation. However, whether right atrial (RA) remodelling and dilatation predicts AF recurrences after ablation has not been fully evaluated. : This is an observational study of 85 consecutive patients (aged 57 ± 9 years; 70 [82%] men) who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance before first catheter ablation for AF (40 [47.
