The Gap in Prescribing Stroke Prevention Therapies in Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: This data set suggests that approximately only 1 in 5 patients with POAF after isolated CABG got prescribed OAC.PMID:34173739 | DOI:10.1532/hsf.3857

Iron deficiency does not impair the outcome after elective coronary artery bypass and aortic valve procedures
ConclusionsThe majority of patients undergoing elective CABG or SAVR suffer from ID;  however, we found no significant differences in regard to MACCE and postoperative morbidity between ID and non‐ID patients.

Long-Term Single Centre Outcomes of Patients with Chronic Renal Dialysis Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
CONCLUSIONSCardiac surgery in DD-CRF patients is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Interestingly, overall mortality was mainly none cardiac-related, where elderly patients or those presented with CHF had the worst life expectancy. However, subsequent kidney transplantation positively impact long-term survival in such patients.

The Relation Between Echocardiographic Epicardial Fat Thickness and CHA2DS2-VASc Score in Patients with Sinus Rhythm
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that echocardiographic EFT measurement could provide additional information on assessing cardiovascular risks, such as thromboembolic events, and individuals with increased EFT should receive more attention to reduce unfavorable cardiovascular risk factors and the development of future cardiovascular events.

Use of the ClearSight ® System for Continuous Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring during Heart Valve Interventions: Review of the Literature and Single-Site Experience.
Use of the ClearSight® System for Continuous Noninvasive Hemodynamic Monitoring during Heart Valve Interventions: Review of the Literature and Single-Site Experience. Heart Surg Forum. 2018 Nov 14;21(6):E476-E483 Authors: Gellert G, Bramlage P Abstract During interventional and structural cardiology procedures, such as mitral valve (MitraClip, BMV), aortic valve (TAVR, BAV), tricuspid valve (MitraClip), left atrial appendage (Watchman, Lariat), atrial septum (ASD/PFO closure), and coronary artery intervention (high-risk PCI), among others, patients are at a high risk of hemodynamic instability and re...

Comparing apples with oranges: The funfair of statistics
The CHA2DS2-VASc score estimates the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.1,2 The CHA2DS2-VASc score accounts for congestive heart failure; hypertension; age of at least 75  years (doubled); diabetes mellitus; previous stroke, transient ischemic attack or thromboembolism (doubled); vascular disease; age 65 to 74 years; and sex category (female). Should the CHA2DS2-VASc score be considered as a categorical or a continuous factor, if the patients have an incremental in crease in risk of death, stroke, or bleeding?
