Adherence to the 2019 AHA/ACC/HRS Focused Update of the 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline on the Use of Oral Anticoagulant Agents in Middle Eastern Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: The Jordan Atrial Fibrillation (JoFib) Study
CONCLUSIONS: The current status of the utilization of OACs in Middle Eastern AF patients appears to be promising and is consistent with the 2019 focused update of the 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS guideline. This trial is registered with NCT03917992.PMID:33898065 | PMC:PMC8052172 | DOI:10.1155/2021/5515089

B-po04-143 safety and feasibility of reactive atrial-based anti-tachycardia pacing algorithm in cardiovascular implantable electronic devices to suppress atrial fibrillation in patients with left atrial appendage closure device
Reactive atrial-based anti-tachycardia pacing (rATP) in CIED (cardiovascular implantable electronic devices) are effective in AF suppression. Uninterrupted systemic anticoagulation is mandated when these algorithms are activated to avoid stroke and systemic thromboembolism. However, the use of rATP algorithm in patients with left atrial appendage (LAA) closure device without ongoing anticoagulation has not been studied.

Impact of thyroid disease in patients with atrial fibrillation: Analysis from the JoFib registry
CONCLUSION: Despite having similar stroke and bleeding risks, patients with thyroid disease demonstrated meaningful differences in their baseline characteristics. Prospective studies are required to assess the influence of thyroid hormone fluctuations on the progression of AF.PMID:35145683 | PMC:PMC8818533 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103325

A Rapidly Accumulating Effusion in an Immunocompetent Woman
Chest. 2022 Jun;161(6):e377-e382. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2021.12.665.ABSTRACTAn 87-year-old woman with a medical history of stroke, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, diastolic heart failure, and chronic bilateral lymphedema presents with 1 week of shortness of breath. The patient had a 20-pack-year smoking history and at baseline was able to ambulate freely without assistance. Her symptoms of dyspnea were mostly exertional and progressively worsening for 1 week before admission, despite compliance with her home furosemide. On admission, her temperature was 36.3 °C, BP was 101/59 mm Hg, heart rate was...
