Each decade of teetotaling lowers risk of atrial fibrillation, study finds
Risk is similar to warfarin, study reports
Continuous long-term monitoring led to diagnosis in 1 out of 3 high-risk adults
And, the worse the kidney problems, the greater the odds of the heart condition, researchers say
Study shows a link between on-the-job hours and atrial fibrillation, but couldn't prove cause-and-effect
They're likelier to prescribe blood thinners than primary care doctors, study finds
Info needs to be tailored to patient's needs, level of understanding
Study of newer blood thinners finds 16 percent receive too much or too little medication
13-year study finds lower odds for atrial fibrillation in people eating moderate amounts of the treat
Study shows the more someone stops breathing at night, the greater the risk of atrial fibrillation
Low-cost, effective treatment programs are needed, researcher says
Study says too many people aren't getting meds to fight atrial fibrillation, a major cause of these attacks
Even people with a low risk of stroke could benefit, researchers say
Chances of atrial fibrillation rise along with body size, but remain low overall, study says
Those with irregular heartbeat are especially vulnerable right after starting the medicine, researcher says
Fewer bleeding problems reported among 'ablation' patients who took the newer blood thinner
Those with low stroke risk might not benefit, new study contends
More than 80 percent of patients who suffered a stroke weren't getting adequate anti-clotting therapy
But those with atrial fibrillation are also more likely to live, study says
But results may not be lasting, and patients may still need to take medications
More than half who've had medical procedure for atrial fibrillation forgo prescribed meds
Study found heightened odds when blood thinner Pradaxa was taken with one of two statin drugs
Adopting healthy behaviors might lower risk of atrial fibrillation, study suggests
Half aren't being given these potentially lifesaving medications when discharged from hospital, researchers say
Study finds gaps in what patients know about atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation can trigger strokes, study authors note
Factors that may make your heart flutter
If episodes of atrial fibrillation are brief, the risk of stroke is low, specialists say
Cardiologists say more research needed before mass screening for atrial fibrillation can be justified
But study wasn't definitive, and heart experts say both newer drugs are better than warfarin
Booze linked to atrial fibrillation, a dangerous condition that raises stroke risk
