Is time to first recurrence of atrial fibrillation correlated with atrial fibrillation burden?

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

The time to the first recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the AF burden have commonly been used as end points for AF therapy. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from a large pacemaker registry to assess the relation between the time to the first recurrence and the AF burden. Although a statistical association exists, the small correlation coefficients limit the clinical value of the time to first recurrence as an indicator of AF burden.

Atrial Filbrillation

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

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.

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.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
