Electrocardiographic characteristics associated with atrial fibrillation – What do they tell us?

The negative impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the morbidity, mortality and well-being of patients is well established [1]. Together with the increasing incidence due to the ageing of the population and the increased prevalence of risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension, this has made AF a major clinical problem [1,2]. Current AF management remains suboptimal, with numerous translational challenges that need to be overcome in order to develop more effective, personalized therapeutic strategies [2].
