In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent arrhythmia, with substantial associated morbidity
and mortality. There have been significant management advances over the past 2 decades …

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) complicates 20–40% of cardiac surgical procedures
and 10–20% of non-cardiac thoracic operations. Typical features include onset at 2–4 days …
