Introduction: Decreased left atrial appendage emptying velocity (LAAV) is a marker for thrombus formation. This study evaluates the association between LAAV and inflammatory indices in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.

Methods: The study population was 1428 patients with AF, 875 of whom enrolled.

Background: Observational studies indicate that serum urate level is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, whether this association is causal remains controversial, due to confounding factors and reverse causality. We aim to evaluate the causal relationship of genetically predicted serum urate level with AF.

Objective: The main objective of this study is to determine the incidence and predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with AF treated with factor Xa inhibitors in a real-world setting.

Methods: The present study was a multicentre and observational study that included patients with AF who were treated with factor Xa inhibitors. The primary outcome was the composite of ischemic stroke, TIA, systemic embolism, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality.

Lesion Formation in Cardiac Pulsed-Field Ablation: Acute to Chronic Cellular Level Changes.

As pulsed-field ablation (PFA) emerges as a promising therapy for atrial arrhythmias, an understanding of the cellular injury to cardiac tissue is critical to evaluating and interpreting results for each PFA system. This review aims to detail the mechanism of cell death for PFA, compare the cell death mechanism to thermal ablation modalities, clarify common histology markers, detail the progression of PFA lesions from the acute, to subacute, to chronic maturation states, and discuss clinical indicators of PFA lesions.

Background: Compared to the conventional anion gap, the albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) offers a more precise measure of acid-base imbalance, providing superior prognostic insight. However, the prognostic relevance of ACAG in individuals of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains insufficiently explored. This research seeks to evaluate the correlation between ACAG levels and mortality risk in individuals with AF.
