Text Extraction
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the arrhythmia which generates more scientific literature at present. This interest is due to several reasons, among which are the persistent ignorance about its mechanism and the difficult actions to take. However, the biggest factor in the interest in this arrhythmia is its high prevalence and the large economic and clinical impact it causes.
