The investigators reported that cognitive impairment is an independent determinant of compliance with pharmacological therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation （AF）.展开更多

The investigators reported that implantation of cardiac resynchronisation therapy （CRT） is feasible and safe in very elderly despite extensive co-morbidity.展开更多

The investigators reported that independent predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation （POAF） after coronary artery bypass graft （CABG） in eld- erly patients were left atrium dimension （LA） and the in- creased postoperative concentration of Interleukin （IL）-6, IL-8 and superoxide dismutase.展开更多
