  • In a cluster-randomized trial conducted across 70 medical centers in six countries, a 16-week structured educational program for healthcare providers improved adherence to guidelines for rhythm control but not for stroke prevention in individuals with atrial fibrillation.

  • Inflammation might be involved in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation. Glucocorticoid use can attenuate inflammation and might be an effective therapy for atrial fibrillation. However, some population-based studies have reported an increased risk of atrial fibrillation associated with glucocorticoid use. Whether this link results from a direct effect of glucocorticoids or from the underlying inflammatory disease remains to be elucidated.

  • This large, multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies 97 loci significantly associated with atrial fibrillation. These loci are enriched for genes involved in cardiac development, electrophysiology, structure and contractile function.

  • Atrial fibrillation occurs when cardiac electrical impulses become disordered, leading to a rapid and irregular heartbeat. Lip and colleagues discuss the mechanisms that underlie this common arrhythmia and outline current strategies and potential future developments for its diagnosis and management.

  • The global prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing, largely as a result of a rise in modifiable risk factors. In this Review, Sanders and colleagues summarize the epidemiology of AF and discuss lifestyle changes and risk factor interventions for the primary and secondary prevention of AF.
