Atrial Fibrillation Case Reports
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, yet its presentation and progression vary widely between patients. From silent AF discovered incidentally to rapid ventricular response causing hemodynamic collapse, each case offers a unique learning opportunity.
The Case Reports and Case Series in Cardiology Journal welcomes AF-related submissions that provide real-world insight into diagnosis, risk stratification, and management strategies across diverse clinical settings.
Scope of Atrial Fibrillation Case Reports We Publish
1. Unique or Challenging Presentations
-
AF with rapid ventricular response (RVR)
-
Asymptomatic or silent AF detected on routine ECG
-
AF presenting with stroke or TIA
-
AF mimicking heart failure, sepsis, or panic episodes
2. Diagnostic Nuances
-
Differentiating AF from atrial flutter or MAT
-
AF triggered by endocrine disorders (thyroid, pheochromocytoma)
-
AF identified on wearable devices or Holter monitoring
-
Electrolyte disturbances leading to new-onset AF
3. Management Strategies
-
Emergency vs elective cardioversion
-
Rate vs rhythm control decisions
-
Anticoagulation dilemmas (bleeding risk vs stroke prevention)
-
AF management in elderly, frail, or high-risk patients
4. Interventional & Electrophysiology Cases
-
Pulmonary vein isolation outcomes
-
Repeat ablation for recurrent AF
-
Peri-procedural complications and solutions
-
Conduction system pacing in AF patients
5. AF in Complex Clinical Conditions
-
AF in heart failure or cardiomyopathy
-
AF after cardiac surgery
-
Secondary AF in acute medical illness
-
AF triggered by alcohol, drugs, or stress
