Atrial Fibrillation: Past, Present and Future

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Clinical Medicine is publishing a Special Issue entitled "Atrial Fibrillation: Past, Present and Future". I am serving as the Guest Editor for this Issue.

Atrial fibrillation is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by irregular and often rapid heartbeats originating from the atria. It is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and mortality. AF is a significant clinical concern due to its associated morbidity and mortality, and its prevalence is expected to increase as the population ages.

Atrial fibrillation constitutes wide range of clinical problems including atrial fibrillation prevention, diagnosis, and management.

In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to submit high-quality original papers on new insights into all these topics—the prevalence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, monitoring, risk prediction, prophylaxis, and treatment options of AF.

I think that you could make an excellent contribution based on your expertise in this field. The submission deadline is 31 March 2024. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Prof. Dr. Katarzyna Mizia-Stec
Guest Editor
