Electrocardiographic findings including irregularity of the rhythm, a very rapid ventricular response, and the presence of a delta wave should raise the suspicion of pre-excited atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response. Urgent cardioversion is needed due to the risk of sudden cardiac death.

Department of Cardiology, The Affiliated Huaian No. 1 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Huai'an, 223300, China.
Background: Numerous studies have demonstrated the significance of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) in the progression of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the association between TMAO and AF recurrence (RAF) post-catheter ablation is not yet fully understood. This study aims to elucidate the predictive capability of pre-procedural TMAO levels in determining RAF following catheter ablation (CA).

Background: Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (pLAAO) presents an alternative to anticoagulation (AC) for stroke prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation (Afib) patients with high bleeding risk. pLAAO was associated with lower rates of disabling stroke which was mainly attributed to the reduction of hemorrhagic stroke (HS). Little is known about the impact of pLAAO on the severity of ischemic strokes which we sought to study.

Department of urology, Mianyang Central Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Changjia Road No.12, Jingzhong District, ZIP Code 621099, Mianyang, Sichuan, China.. Electronic address:
Background: Frailty and atrial fibrillation (AF) outcomes require in-depth, multidimensional investigation. We aim to explore the association between frailty and factors such as hospital stay, quality of life, and recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in elderly patients.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study involving 195 hospitalized elderly AF patients.
