Atrial Fibrillation Biomarker Atlas

Molecular alterations reported in Atrial Fibrillation compared to healthy controls, from peer-reviewed literature.

Spontaneous remissionSpontaneous reversion to sinus rhythm occurs in ~50% of paroxysmal AF within 24-48 hours; persistent AF almost never…
Best-intervention remissionCatheter ablation achieves freedom from AF in ~70-80% at 1 year (paroxysmal), 50-60% (persistent); ablation superior…
