Background : Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have an increased risk of cognitive decline,
potentially resulting from clinically unrecognized vascular brain lesions. Objectives : This …

Objectives: To assess prevalence of anemia and its correlation with NYHA-class in patients
with congestive heart failure. Background: Recently, it was reported that anemia in …

Aims We aimed to investigate the association of clinically overt and silent brain lesions with
cognitive function in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Methods and results We enrolled 1227 AF …

Background The incidence and predictors of atrial fibrillation ( AF ) progression are currently
not well defined, and clinical AF progression partly overlaps with rhythm control …

BACKGROUND Several studies found that patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have an increased
risk of cognitive decline and dementia over time. However, the magnitude of the problem…

Background We prospectively assessed sex‐specific differences in health perception, overall
symptom status, and specific symptoms in a large cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation. …

Background Impaired heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased mortality in
sinus rhythm. However, HRV has not been systematically assessed in patients with atrial …

Objective Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is increasingly used as a neuroaxonal injury
biomarker in the elderly. Besides age, little is known about how other physiological factors …

Aims This study aimed to analyse health related quality of life (HRQoL) for patients with
different atrial fibrillation (AF) types and to identify patient characteristics, symptoms and …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) and frailty are common, and the prevalence is expected to rise
further. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of frailty and the ability of a frailty index (FI) to …
