Including hemoglobin levels and female sex provide the additional predictive value of the APPLE score for atrial fibrillation recurrence post-catheter ablation
CONCLUSION: Inclusion of HGB level and female sex variables improved the predictability and clinical usefulness of adjusted APPLE score. Adjustment of the APPLE score by HGB levels may provide better predictive value than inclusion of the female sex variable.PMID:38128779 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.12.003 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Cardiology)

Multimodality imaging in patients with implantable loop recorders: Tips and tricks
This article aims to summarise current literature on ILRs, their basic function, types, and indications for implantation; but most of all to familiarize clinicians and radiologists with common imaging features of these devices, safety issues, and artifact-reducing methods. Specifically, this review discusses the typical appearance of ILRs on major diagnostic imaging modalities, including chest X-ray, mammography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Furthermore, optimization strategies to mitigate image artifacts and safety issues regarding MRI are discussed.PMID:38096953 | DOI:10.101...
