Management of Anticoagulation in Cancer Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Isr Med Assoc J. 2022 Mar;24(3):183-185.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation is becoming an increasingly important problem in cardio-oncology. Specific risk factors for atrial fibrillation occurrence include type of cancer disease and anticancer drugs. Anticoagulation is often abandoned. The CHA2DS2-VASc and CHA2DS2 scores may be important not only in predicting stroke but also in mortality. The role of new direct oral anticoagulants is growing, but they need to be used in a personalized approach depending on the risk of unbeneficial interactions with cancer treatment and the risk of bleeding.PMID:35347933

Clinical code usage in UK general practice: a cohort study exploring 18 conditions over 14 years
Conclusions This is an under-reported research area and the findings suggest the codes’ usage diversity for most conditions remained overall stable throughout the study period. Generated mental health code lists can last for a long time unlike cardiometabolic conditions and cancer. Adopting more consistent and less diverse coding would help improve data quality in primary care. Future research is needed following the transfer to the Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) coding.

Impact of cancer diagnosis on distribution and trends of cardiovascular hospitalizations in the USA between 2004 to 2017
CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to declining trends in patients without cancer, primary cardiovascular admissions in patients with cancer is increasing. The highest admission rates are in patients with hematological cancer and the most common cause of admission is heart failure.PMID:35913736 | DOI:10.1093/ehjqcco/qcac045

Pharmacological interventions for preventing atrial fibrillation after lung surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionCurrent clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of pharmacological intervention with beta-blockers, amiodarone, magnesium sulfate, or calcium-channel blockers to reduce the incidence of POAF after lung surgery in patients with lung cancer. In the absence of contraindications, prophylaxis with beta-blockers seems to be the most effective of the treatments studied.
