Atrial fibrillation (AF), as a common clinical arrhythmia, has consistently been a research priority in the cardiovascular field due to its high prevalence and significant stroke risk. Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM, ISSN: 2077-0383) is an open access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research results and review articles covering all fields of clinical medicine. We cordially invite you to review these notable review papers published in JCM over the past three years in the field of atrial fibrillation.

We hope these articles will help you stay abreast of the latest research developments, assist you in exploring new research directions, and provide robust support for applications in both academic research and clinical practice.

Additionally, you can access more relevant research papers via the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/search?q=Atrial+Fibrillation&journal=jcm.
