Electrophysiologic aspects of human atrial fibrillation

Cardiology Clinics
B D Lindsay, J M Smith

Abstract

This article reviews the important developments that have led to current understanding of atrial fibrillation, the data that support its mechanistic dependence on various forms of reentrant excitation, and the resultant electrophysiologic and clinical implications of clinicians' evolving understanding.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
