Education level and the incidence of heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation Open
Background Education level is an important socioeconomic factor affecting the incidence, symptoms, and treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite this, data on the association between education level and the incidence of major AF conse…

The impact of education level on all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation Open
The association between socioeconomic status and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is well known, but data on the influence of education level on mortality in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF) are scarce. We investigated educa…

The role of education level in the mortality of hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction The association between social status and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is well–known. Education level is an important socioeconomic factor which influences the…

Validation of a handheld single‐lead ECG algorithm for atrial fibrillation detection after coronary revascularization Open
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rapidly increasing global public health concern entailing a high risk for ischemic stroke that can largely be avoided with anticoagulation therapy. AF is often underdiagnosed and there is a need for…

All-cause mortality trends in patients hospitalized for atrial fibrillation in Sweden: Role of age, stroke risk, and education Open
The all-cause mortality risk decreased over time in both patients and controls, but subgroup analysis revealed an unchanged mortality trend in women aged 18-64 years, in patients with low stroke risk, and in patients with post-secondary ed…

Body Mass Index in Adolescence and Long‐Term Risk of Early Incident Atrial Fibrillation and Subsequent Mortality, Heart Failure, and Ischemic Stroke Open
Background We sought to determine the role of obesity in adolescent men on development of atrial fibrillation (AF) and subsequent associated clinical outcomes in subjects diagnosed with AF. Methods and Results We conducted a nationwide, re…

The a’ velocity by tissue-Doppler echocardiography correlates to invasive mean left atrial pressure in patients with normal ejection fraction Open
The a' velocity is a good indicator of mean LAP and might be considered in the evaluation of left ventricle filling pressure in patients with normal ejection fraction.

A decade of catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in Sweden: ablation practices and outcomes Open
Catheter ablations have shifted towards more complex procedures over the past decade. Fluoroscopy time has markedly decreased and the efficacy of catheter ablation seems to improve for AF.

P6602Patient-reported outcomes in relation to continuously monitored rhythm before and during two years after atrial fibrillation ablation using a disease-specific and a generic instrument Open
Patient-reported outcomes in relation to continuously monitored rhythm before and during two years after atrial fibrillation ablation using a disease-specific and a generic instrument
View article: Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Relation to Continuously Monitored Rhythm Before and During 2 Years After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Using a Disease‐Specific and a Generic Instrument
Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Relation to Continuously Monitored Rhythm Before and During 2 Years After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Using a Disease‐Specific and a Generic Instrument Open
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation improves patient‐reported outcomes, irrespective of mode of intermittent rhythm monitoring. We evaluated the use of an AF‐specific and a generic patient‐reported outcomes instrument during conti…

Patients without comorbidities at the time of diagnosis of atrial fibrillation: causes of death during long‐term follow‐up compared to matched controls Open
Background Little is known about the long‐term, cause‐specific mortality risk in patients without comorbidities at the time of diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods From a nation‐wide registry of patients hospitalized with inciden…
View article: Assessment of Atrial Fibrillation–Specific Symptoms Before and 2 Years After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
Assessment of Atrial Fibrillation–Specific Symptoms Before and 2 Years After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Open
Patient-reported and physician-assessed outcomes were both useful in assessing symptom relief after AF ablation, although patient-reported outcomes were more sensitive tools. There was also a discrepancy between patient-reported and physic…

1361Does zero atrial fibrillation burden after atrial fibrillation ablation mean that patients are free of symptoms? Open
Although pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF), there is no consensus on the definition of success or follow up strategies.Existing data are limited to intermittent trans-telephonic monit…

Patients with atrial fibrillation and outcomes of cerebral infarction in those with treatment of warfarin versus no warfarin with references to CHA2DS2-VASc score, age and sex - A Swedish nationwide observational study with 48 433 patients Open
Our results support that treatment with anticoagulation may be considered in all patients with an incident atrial fibrillation diagnosis and an age of 65 years and older, i.e. also when the CHA2DS2-VASc score is 1.

Assessment of Use vs Discontinuation of Oral Anticoagulation After Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Open
These findings indicate that discontinuation of warfarin treatment after PVI is not safe in high-risk patients, especially those who have previously experienced an ischemic stroke.
