Subclinical Thyroid Function and Cardiovascular Events in patients with Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical hypothyroidism was not associated with increased CV risk in AF patients. Higher levels of fT4 with normal TSH were associated with higher risk for HF.PMID:34228632 | DOI:10.1530/EJE-20-1442

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 4012: Atrial Fibrillation after Lung Cancer Surgery: Prediction, Prevention, and Anticoagulation Management
rdinale Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of the early postoperative period of various types of surgery, including that for lung cancer. Although induced by the homeostatic alterations related to surgery, there is evidence that it is not a mere stand-alone transitory event, but it represents a relevant complication of surgery, bearing considerable prognostic consequences. Different methods have therefore been explored to predict the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and prevent it. In particular, the age among clinical factors, and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide ...

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.

PrevAleNce and Associated factors of inappropriaTe dosing of direct Oral anticoaguLants In pAtients with Atrial Fibrillation: the ANATOLIA-AF Study
ConclusionThe study demonstrated that the prevalence of inappropriate direct oral anticoagulant dosing according to the European Heart Rhythm Association recommendations was 24.9% in patients with atrial fibrillation. Several demographic and clinical factors were associated with the inappropriate prescription of direct oral anticoagulants.

The Price of Keeping the Rhythm: Increased Bleeding Risk in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Concurrently Prescribed Amiodarone and Factor Xa Inhibitors
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia affecting nearly 2% of the population of the United States.1 Patients with atrial fibrillation are twice as likely to have a myocardial infarction and five-times as likely to have a stroke.1 Current guidelines recommend antiarrhythmic pharmacotherapy in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation as first-line management.2-4 Amiodarone is a very effective, and therefore, a commonly prescribed agent for this purpose.5 Anticoagulation is a key tenet in the management of atrial fibrillation due to the increased tendency of left atrial appendage clot formati...
