Background
Although prior studies indicate a high prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), the exact prevalence and prognostic impact are unknown.
Methods
We aimed to investigate the prevalence, risk factors and prognostic impact of AF on risk stratification, in‐hospital adverse outcomes and mortality in 528 consecutive PE patients enrolled in a single‐centre...
Heart failure and atrial fibrillation are common and responsible for significant mortality of patients. Both share the same risk factors like hypertension, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, obesity, arteriosclerosis, and age. A variety of microscopic and macroscopic changes favor the genesis of atrial fibrillation in patients with preexisting heart failure, altered subcellular Ca2+ homeostasis leading...
