Patient-Led Mass Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in the Older Population Using Handheld Electrocardiographic Devices Integrated With a Clinician-Coordinated Remote Central Monitoring System: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial and Process Evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: By incorporating an integrated health care approach involving patient empowerment, centralized clinician-coordinated ECG monitoring, and facilitation of primary care and specialist services, it is possible to diagnose and treat AF early to reduce stroke risk. This study will provide new information on how to implement AF screening using digital health technology practicably and feasibly for older and frail populations residing in the community.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12621000184875; https://www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?id=380877.INTERNAT...

The prevalence of atrial fibrillation in Greenland: a register-based cross-sectional study based on disease classifications and prescriptions of oral anticoagulants
This study estimates the prevalence of AF based on disease classifications in the electronic medical record system (EMR) and prescriptions of oral anticoagulants (OACs). Patients given a diagnose classification code for AF or atrial flutter or prescribed the vitamin K antagonist Warfarin or the direct-acting oral anticoagulant Rivaroxaban were identified in the EMR. Descriptive data and selected laboratory values were extracted, and a minimum CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated for the 790 patients identified in the EMR (66% men). A total prevalence of AF of 1.4% was found in the general population (1.8% among men and 1.0% a...

Neurologist-Led Management of Implantable Loop-Recorders After Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
ConclusionWe observed similar predictors for Afib after ESUS, albeit with higher frequency than previously reported. This study suggests that the neurologist-led decision, management, and evaluation of ILR after ESUS is feasible.

Prevalence of markers of atrial cardiomyopathy in embolic stroke of undetermined source: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Electrocardiographic, echocardiographic markers and advanced imaging modalities able to assess the morphologic characteristics of left atrial appendage and left atrial function may be important tools to discriminate AC among ESUS vs NCE stroke patients. Prospective studies exploring the association of potential AC markers with ESUS occurrence are warranted to validate their clinical utility.PMID:35065879 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2022.01.024

New-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with worsening heart failure and coronary artery disease: an analysis from the COMMANDER-HF trial
ConclusionsA well-calibrated risk-score identified patients at risk of new-onset AF in the COMMANDER-HF trial. Patients who developed AF had a higher risk of subsequent death.Graphic abstractRisk of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with HFrEF and coronary artery disease

Changing patterns of use of implantable cardiac monitors from 2011 to 2018 for a large commercially-insured U.S. population
We described the characteristics of individuals who received ICMs and the frequency of placements into 3 guideline concordance groups. We estimated the mean change per quarter in ICM placements (mean quarterly change in incidence rate per 1,000,000 patient-quarters at risk) for quarter (Q)1 2011 through Q1 2014, Q1 2014 to Q2 2014, and Q2 2014 through Q4 2018 for each guideline concordance group. The most common indications for categorizable ICM placement were syncope (24%), atrial fibrillation (11%), and stroke (11%). For each of the 3 guideline concordance groups except guideline unaddressed inpatient ICM placements, the...

Acute Heart Failure After Reperfused Ischemic Stroke: Association With Systemic and Cardiac Inflammatory Responses
Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) present an increased incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and release of Troponin T coinciding with cardiac dysfunction. The nature of the cardiocirculatory alterations remains obscure as models to investigate systemic interferences of the brain-heart-axis following AIS are sparse. Thus, this study aims to investigate acute cardiocirculatory dysfunction and myocardial injury in mice after reperfused AIS. Ischemic stroke was induced in mice by transient right-sided middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). Cardiac effects were investigated by electrocardiograms, 3D-e...

Cardiac Risk Factors for Stroke: A Comprehensive Mendelian Randomization Study
CONCLUSIONS: Available genetic data do not support substantial effects of cardiac traits on the risk of stroke beyond known clinical risk factors. Our findings highlight the need to carefully control for confounding and other potential biases in studies examining candidate cardiac risk factors for stroke.PMID:34911345 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.036306

Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronisation therapy
CONCLUSIONS: Episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with systolic heart failure and implanted cardioverter-defibrillator systems are quite common. The majority of the episodes recorded in the study were asymptomatic.PMID:34900037 | PMC:PMC8641502 | DOI:10.5114/aoms/114977
