Summary Globally, up to 1· 5 million individuals with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic
attack can be newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation per year. In the past decade, evidence …

Abstract The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines
program was developed to aid clinicians in the management of these complex patients, as …

Background: Advanced generation ablation technologies have been developed to achieve
more effective pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and minimize arrhythmia recurrence after atrial …

Digital smart devices have the capability of detecting atrial fibrillation (AF), but the efficacy of
this type of digital screening has not been directly compared to usual care for detection of …

Importance Opportunistic screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) is recommended, and improved
methods of early identification could allow for the initiation of appropriate therapies to …

Importance Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of preventable strokes. Screening
asymptomatic individuals for AF may increase anticoagulant use for stroke prevention …
