Left atrial appendage closure for primary primary prevention during percutaneous closure of septal defects in patients with large atria but no atrial fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant closure of ASD or PFO in the presence of enlarged atria and LAA for primary primary prevention appears feasible and safe but has yet to prove its justification. PMID: 28840592 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

FDA clears AliveCor ’ s KardiaBand ECG for Apple Watch
AliveCor said today that the FDA cleared its KardioBand electrocardiogram device for the Apple Watch, designed to monitor for early signs of atrial fibrillation. First introduced in March 2016, KardiaBand is the first medical device accessory to be cleared by the federal safety watchdog for the Apple Watch, Mountain View, Calif.-based AliveCor said. It’s designed to display and record clinical-grade cardiac rhythm readings in real time in about 30 seconds, the company said. AliveCor also said it launched the SmartRhythm artificial intelligence app for the Apple Watch, which is designed to continuously evaluate the ...

Device-Detected Atrial Fibrillation: Evidencing the Knowledge Gap.
Abstract Stroke is a devastating complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) the odds of which can be reduced by use of oral anticoagulation based on the stroke risk score.1,2 Patients with asymptomatic clinical AF have a similar stroke risk as patients with symptomatic clinical AF.3 Thus far, electrocardiographic- (ECG) or Holter monitor-detected AF is a prerequisite before use of oral anticoagulation,1,2 because the guideline recommendations are based on studies that included only ECG- or Holter-detected AF ('clinical' AF).1,2 In the past decades increasing number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) ha...

Excessive Supraventricular Ectopic Activity and Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
AbstractPurpose of ReviewExcessive supraventricular ectopic activity (ESVEA), in the form of frequent premature atrial contractions (PACs) and runs of PACs, is commonly observed in clinical practice and is frequently considered to be benign. Yet, recent studies have demonstrated a link between ESVEA and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The aim of this meta-analysis was to examine the association between ESVEA and the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and mortality.Recent FindingsA systematic search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up to December 2017 to identify studies assessing adverse ca...

Multi ‐modality machine learning approach for risk stratification in heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45%
ConclusionsMulti ‐modality assessment is important for risk stratification in HF. A machine learning approach provides additional value for improving outcome prediction.

Atrial Conduction Disorders.
Authors: Alexander B, Tse G, Martinez-Selles M, Baranchuk A Abstract Atrial conduction disorders result from impaired propagation of cardiac impulses from the sinoatrial node through the atrial conduction pathways. Disorders affecting interatrial conduction alter P-wave characteristics on the surface electrocardiogram. A variety of P-wave indices reflecting derangements in atrial conduction have been described and have been associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke. Interatrial block (IAB) is the most well-known and described of the different P-wave indices and is important clinically...

The prevalence, management, and thirty-day outcomes of symptomatic atrial fibrillation in a Tanzanian emergency department
DISCUSSION: AF is common in a Tanzanian EC, with thirty-day mortality being high, but use of evidence-based therapies is rare. There is an opportunity to improve AF care and outcomes in Tanzania.PMID:34703731 | PMC:PMC8524111 | DOI:10.1016/j.afjem.2021.07.002

Prognosis of patients assisted in the emergency unit by the 'TIA protocol' in a third-level hospital at 90 days
CONCLUSIONS: Rapid TIA protocols allow early care and avoid hospital admissions, without increasing the incidence of cardiovascular events or recurrence of stroke or TIA at 90 days.PMID:35148420 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7404.2021236

Association of Echocardiographic Measures of Left Atrial Function and Size With Incident Dementia
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this exploratory analysis of a US community-based cohort, several echocardiographic measures of lower LA function were significantly associated with an increased risk of subsequent dementia. Measures of LA size were not significantly associated with dementia risk. These findings suggest that impaired LA function may be a risk factor associated with dementia.PMID:35315884 | DOI:10.1001/jama.2022.2518

Cost-effectiveness of screening for atrial fibrillation in a single primary care center at a 3-year follow-up
CONCLUSION: Screening for AF among 70-74-year olds in primary care using intermittent ECG appears to be cost-effective at 3-year follow-up with high anticoagulants adherence and no increased mortality.PMID:35389311 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2022.2060523
