Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a potential independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). It remains unclear whether anemia is synergistically associated with increased risk of AF onset in subjects with CKD. We evaluated the association of kidney function, hemoglobin (Hb), and their combinat

Previous studies have suggested that women may be at higher risk of death after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We studied potential associations of gender and age with in-hospital mortality using a registry of 31,689 consecutive patients with STEMI aged ≥30 years (66.3% men,

BACKGROUND: Clinical factors associated with thromboembolic risk in AF patients are well characterized and include new onset AF. Biochemically, AF is associated with inflammatory activation and impairment of nitric oxide (NO) signalling, which may also predispose to thromboembolism: the bases for va
