2026 Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) Guidelines (Part II) on Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation

ABSTRACT The 2026 Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) Guidelines represent the first comprehensive APHRS guidelines dedicated to the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) and comprise four parts covering epidemiology, detection/screening and integrated care; stroke prevention; rate and rhythm control; and lifest...

Temporal Changes in Nonlinear Heart Rate Variability Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.

Phenotypic clustering and ABC pathway adherence in patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk of bleeding and stroke: Insights from three global registries.

Three distinct phenotypic clusters were identified, each with heterogeneous clinical characteristics and outcomes, underscoring the need for more individualised, phenotype-informed management strategies in this complex patient population.

Development and External Validation of the GLORIA-AF Bleeding Weighted Risk Score for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

The GLORIA-AF Bleeding Score showed modestly higher discrimination than HAS-BLED for 1-year major bleeding prediction while retaining clinical interpretability and usability and external validation in independent European and Asia-Pacific registries further supports its transportability beyond the derivation population...

Development and validation of the GLORIA-AF Stroke Weighted Risk Score for patients with atrial fibrillation

External validation of the GLORIA-AF Stroke Weighted Risk Score supports its transportability and potential adjunctive role in guideline-directed thromboembolic risk assessment and generally greater net benefit than CHA2DS2-VA.
