Left Atrial Appendage Closure with Watchman vs Amulet Devices: Similarities and Differences
AbstractPurpose of ReviewLeft atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has shown to be non-inferior to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). LAAC is now becoming a leading method for stroke prophylaxis in patients who have atrial fibrillation and are unable to tolerate OAC. There are currently two FDA-approved endocardial closure devices, namely, the Watchman FLX and Amplatzer Amulet.Recent FindingsCurrent data highlights that both devices offer similar efficacy and safety for LAAC. While the two devices differ in terms of intraprocedural complication rates, they offer similar short- to long-term out...

Atrial fibrillation catheter ablation associated silent cerebral emboli: A narrative review
AbstractThe incidence of silent cerebral emboli (SCE) associated with atrial fibrillation catheter ablation (AFCA) is much higher than that of stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA). Interventional electrophysiologists have been increasingly alerted to asymptomatic cerebral infarction over the years. Plentiful studies revealed that diagnostic definitions, detection modalities, energy sources, ablation strategies, perioperative anticoagulation regimens, and patient-related factors were associated with the risk of AFCA-associated SCE. Studies related to non-interventional procedures found that SCE may prompt stroke, cognitiv...

Can a best practice advisory improve anticoagulation prescribing to reduce stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation?
CONCLUSIONS: A BPA added to an AF decision support tool improved anticoagulation therapy among AF patients in a primary care academic health system setting.PMID:37579873 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.08.005

Long-Term Exposure to Traffic Noise and Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Diseases: a Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis
AbstractWhile noise pollution from transportation has become an important public health problem, the relationships between different sources of traffic noise and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain inconclusive. A comprehensive meta-analysis was therefore conducted to quantitatively assess the effects of long-term exposure to road traffic, railway, and aircraft noise on CVDs and relevant subtypes. We systematically retrieved PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for articles published before April 4, 2022. Summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by the fixed- or random-effects models. ...

Rural-urban and geographical differences in prognosis of atrial fibrillation in Finland: a nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Rural-urban differences in prognosis of AF in Finland appear minimal, whereas considerable disparities exist between HDs.PMID:37571929 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231189918

Association between long-term exposure to PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > constituents and electrocardiographic abnormality: A nationwide longitudinal study in China
CONCLUSION: Differential associations between various constituents of PM2.5 and ECG abnormalities were found. The unequal toxicities for different chemical constituents of ambient particles on cardiovascular electrophysiological endpoints should be taken into consideration when considering the biological pathways linking PM2.5 and cardiovascular conditions.PMID:37572496 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108130

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in the Setting of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: “There Will Be Blood”
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are being increasingly used in clinical practice for various indications ranging from treatment of venous thromboembolism1 to stroke thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation.2 Clinical practice guidelines now endorse DOACs in preference to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for thromboprophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation and after venous thromboembolism, reflecting the favorable efficacy and safety profile of this anticoagulant class compared with VKA.3 Despite increasing DOAC utilization, the optimal periprocedural antithrombotic management for patients treated with DOAC who under...

Higher Risk of Incident Hyperthyroidism in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Our results provide insight into clinical risk factors for the development of hyperthyroidism in AF patients, as identified by the novel SAD HEC2 score. AF appears to be a common precursor of hyperthyroidism.PMID:37565329 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgad448
