Atrial fibrillation
Investigators at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in China conducted a study to investigate the association between malnutrition and cardiovascular death in patients with atrial fibrillation. The researchers collected data from 570 consecutive patients diagnosed with heart failure and atrial fibrillation between January 2018 and December 2018.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has shed light on the incidence and burden of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The research, conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Gothenburg, involved a prospective, multicenter cohort study
Atrial fibrillation
Researchers from the Institute of Medicine have published new study results on the outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The study found that postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurring early after CABG was associated with a lower risk of adverse outcomes compared to new-onset AF occurring
Apixaban
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) face significant challenges in managing their conditions due to the increased risk of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. Research from Lazarski University in Warsaw, Poland, suggests that anticoagulant therapy may be beneficial for these patients, despite the potential risks. A systematic
