Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-known disease that affects a large share of patients treated by the medical community and is, therefore, a public health issue. Despite the existence of clear guidelines, it is not one of your "everyday" problems with a straightforward, one-size-fits-all treatment plan, but rather a complex disease necessitating different approaches depending on which side of it you are looking at: a nuisance to daily life in patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF leading to recurring cardioversions, ablations, or chronic medical therapies; a major stroke risk and cause; a complicator of post-operative hospital stays; a cause for emergency department visits; up to a negative impactor on critical care and intensive care—AF shows its facets in many different ways.
"Novel insights" concerning AF in every possible aspect impacting patients are needed for further evolving modern and specific diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive aspects of this disease. Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue of IJERPH, especially those focusing on either practical approaches or raising new thoughts leading to potential future research.
