Left atrial appendage closure for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation: rationale, devices in clinical development and insights into implantation techniques.
CONCLUSIONS: Catheter-based LAA occlusion is now being developed further as an interventional approach for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. Implantation techniques and devices are being improved, which will probably result in better procedural safety. Appropriate operator training is of major importance for this approach.

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 3182: Predictive Model and Mortality Risk Score during Admission for Ischaemic Stroke with Conservative Treatment
Conclusions: It is possible to create a predictive model of mortality for patients with ischaemic stroke from which important advances can be made towards optimising the quality and efficiency of care. The model results are available within a few minutes of admission and would provide a valuable complementary resource for the neurologist.

The Role of the Left Atrial Appendage in Stroke and Arrhythmia Provocation
AbstractPurpose of the reviewThe review will provide an overview of the potential use of left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), highlighting the benefits and risks involved with LAA exclusion.Recent findingsLAA ligation leads to electrical isolation of the LAA and a decrease in LA mass which is associated with a decrease in AF burden and occasional termination of AF in patients with persistent AF. This potential new indication will further expand the use of LAA exclusion and necessitate planning of combining LAA exclusion with catheter ablation for both stroke prevention and antiar...

Influence of Exercise Training on the Left Atrium:Implications for Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Failure and Stroke
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2023 Jul 28. doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.00322.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe left atrium (LA) plays a critical role in receiving pulmonary venous return and modulating left ventricular (LV) filling. With the onset of exercise, LA function contributes to the augmentation in stroke volume. Due to the growing focus on atrial imaging, there is now evidence that structural remodelling and dysfunction of the LA is associated with adverse outcomes including incident cardiovascular disease. In patients with established disease, pathological changes in atrial structure and function are associate...

A pilot study evaluating the use of ABCD2 score in pre-hospital assessment of patients with suspected transient ischaemic attack: experience and lessons learned
ConclusionsIt is possible to identify, recruit and follow up patients with suspected TIA in the EMS setting. Training large numbers of EMS staff is required as exposure to TIA patients is infrequent. Significant insight was gained into the complexity of NHS research governance mechanisms in the UK. This knowledge will facilitate the planning of a future adequately powered study to validate the ABCD2 tool in a pre-hospital setting.

The anticoagulation choices of internal medicine residents for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
Conclusions Canadian internal medicine residents favoured warfarin over NOACs for patients with NVAF, which is in discordance with the evidence-based CCS guidelines. This finding persisted throughout the 3 years of core internal medicine training.
