1 INTRODUCTION Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease globally1 and atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice.2 Both have close relationship and often coexist; the prevalence of CAD in patients with AF is reported from 17% to 59.4%.3, 4 In the setting of myocardial infarction (MI), about 10% of patients have AF and nearly 25% of patients without prior AF would develop AF at or after MI.5 Previous studies have shown AF...

1 INTRODUCTION The global prevalence of heart failure (HF), particularly in developed countries, is increasing, largely attributable to an ageing population.1, 2 Despite advancement in treatments, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains a significant concern, often leading to poor outcomes.3 Ischaemic stroke profoundly affects patients with HF, who face a higher risk compared to individuals without AF, leading to worsening prognoses and increased hospitalisation costs.4...

1 INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) and AF-related complications.1, 2 Both conditions are associated with prevalent and incident cardiovascular disorders, and if both are present, the risk of adverse clinical events is even greater.

AbstractCardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is an under-recognised yet highly prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes. CAN affects approximately 20% of people with diabetes, with recent studies highlighting the presence of CAN in prediabetes (impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose), indicating early involvement of the autonomic nervous system.

1 INTRODUCTION Since the initial phases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, patients positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) were identified as having a prothrombotic profile and therefore a higher risk of thrombosis.1, 2 For this reason, different antithrombotic agents, including oral anticoagulation (OAC), emerged as therapeutic options for preventing and treating COVID-19-associated thrombotic disease.3 Other drugs with pleiotropic actions...

1 INTRODUCTION Femoral access site complications remain the most common adverse event following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF).1-3 Key factors in reducing these complications include ultrasound-guided access, adequate periprocedural anticoagulation management, and femoral venous hemostasis.4, 5 Until recently, the latter has traditionally been achieved using manual compression.

OverviewAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common abnormal heart rhythm. It is also a leading cause
of stroke, due to blood clots forming within an area called the 'left atrial appendage'. Usually, blood thinners (anticoagulants) are given to patients to reduce this risk. However,
some patients are not able to take these medications due to a high bleeding risk.
