antiarrhythmic drug therapy as first-line treatment in patients with paroxysmal atrial …

Objective The Medical ANtiarrhythmic Treatment or Radiofrequency Ablation in Paroxysmal
Atrial Fibrillation (MANTRA-PAF) trial compared radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) with …

Abstract Aims The Medical ANtiarrhythmic Treatment or Radiofrequency Ablation in
Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (MANTRA-PAF) trial assessed the long-term efficacy of an …

Aims Elevated levels of C-reactive protein and other inflammatory markers have been
reported in some patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether this finding is related to AF per …

The present study sought to assess the extent of gender differences in electrophysiologic
parameters in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). The study …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to correlate the arrhythmia-related symptoms and
health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are eligible …

paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) with radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) compared with …

Background: Atrial Fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. It increases the risk of
thromboembolic events and many atrial fibrillation patients suffer quality of life impairment …

Background The primary goal of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is to
improve symptoms and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). However, most studies have …

Aims We aimed at examining the acetylcholine-dependent inward-rectifier current (I KAch)
as a target for the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and results The …
