Peri ‐procedural management of anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation catheter ablation in direct oral anticoagulant‐treated patients
ConclusionsOur data showed that uninterrupted DOAC therapy resulted in unpredictable and highly variable initial level of anticoagulation before catheter ablation. Moreover, they highlighted that even with DOAC interruption preventing from interference between DOAC, UFH and ACT, intra‐procedural UFH monitoring was complex. Altogether, our exploratory results call into question the appropriateness of transposing UFH dose protocols, as well as the relevance of ACT monitoring in uninterrupted DOAC‐treated patients.

Prevalence of Arrhythmias and Impact of Permanent Pacemaker Implantation in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
ConclusionA risk stratification for patients with conduction disorders is necessary to avoid longer hospital stays, added costs, and ultimately mortality. Further research is warranted to investigate additional predictors for PPM after TAVR. (Source: Clinical Cardiology)

Posttraumatic stress disorder and mortality in VA patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator
ConclusionIn this retrospective cohort study among more than 25,000 veterans undergoing ICD implantation almost 13% had a diagnosis of PTSD. Subjects with PTSD were significantly younger yet they had a higher incidence of CHD, major cardiac comorbidities, cancer, and mental health conditions. Our study did not find an association between presence of PTSD before or after ICD implant and incident death when adjusted for all covariates. (Source: Clinical Cardiology)

Influence of Symptom Typicality for Predicting MACE in Patients Without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: From the CONFIRM Registry (Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Evaluation for Clinical Outcomes: An International Multicenter Registry)
ConclusionsIn the CONFIRM registry, patients who presented with concomitant typical angina and non‐obstructive CAD had a higher rate of MACE than asymptomatic patients with non‐obstructive CAD. However, the presence of typical angina did not appear to portend worse prognosis in patients with no CAD. (Source: Clinical Cardiology)
