Clinical practice of continuous rhythm monitoring after embolic stroke of undetermined source
ConclusionICM remote monitoring is useful to diagnose AF in cohort of post-ESUS patients. However, the number of ICM alarms is high, even in a cohort at known high risk of AF and in whom AF detection is therapeutically consequential. Improved automated event classification, clear recommendations for ICM interrogation after AF diagnosis, and a careful patient selection for ICM monitoring are warranted. (Source: PLoS One)

Atrial fibrillation: real-life experience of a rhythm control with electrical cardioversion in a community hospital
Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Electrical cardioversion, a well-established part of the rhythm control strategy, is probably underused in community settings. Here, we d... (Source: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders)

Pressure waveform analysis for occlusion assessment significantly reduces contrast medium use in cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation
ConclusionCB-PVI utilizing a fully integrated pressure waveform analysis tool to assess PV occlusion is feasible and safe and significantly reduces the amount of contrast medium without impact on procedural parameters and freedom from arrhythmia recurrence.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)
