Cardiomyopathy can also be a presenting feature of other inherited disorders, such as Danon disease, Fabry disease, mitochondrial myopathy, or muscular dystrophy.[centogene.com]
However, in reality, although more than half of the patients included were over 50 years old, they probably presented low risk of embolism.[revespcardiol.org]

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia with poor prognosis, reaching epidemic proportions in the ageing population.[els.net]
An earlier onset and longer duration of AF might also promote a so‐called cardiomyopathy in some patients, which may worsen prognosis.[jaha.ahajournals.org]

Planas et al 1 define primary atrial fibrillation as that produced in the absence of structural or functional heart disease or any other known etiological factor.[revespcardiol.org]
However, familial AF may help to identify the etiology for strokes, more likely to be caused by thromboembolism from AF.[jaha.ahajournals.org]
Potential etiologies also include restrictive cardiomyopathies (e.g., amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, and endomyocardial fibrosis), cardiac tumours, and constrictive pericarditis.[physio-pedia.com]
Epidemiology and Demographics Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of sustained abnormal heart rhythm ( arrhythmia ), affecting more than 3 million people in the United States.[wikidoc.org]

Until recently, in epidemiological and even pharmacological studies, patients with atrial flutter and fibrillation were grouped under a single umbrella. Fortunately, we now know that it is necessary to separate the two.[revespcardiol.org]
Acceptance of permanent AF represents a therapeutic attitude on the part of the patient and clinician rather than an inherent pathophysiological attribute of AF.[physio-pedia.com]
Despite the correlation between these pathophysiological mechanisms and functional alterations, many questions remain unanswered; for example, why mutations that appear to be associated with gain of function at the atrial level leave ventricular repolarization[jci.org]
Plasma osmolality plays a critical role in the pathophysiology and treatment of sodium disorders. Hyponatremia and hypernatremia are classified based on volume status (hypovolemia, euvolemia, and hypervolemia).[aafp.org]

Early diagnosis is relevant for timely treatment and prevention of fatal complications such as arterial dissection/rupture. Congenital heart diseases (CHD) account for 1% of all live births per year and the prevalence is increasing.[centogene.com]
