Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation as First-Line Treatment for Typical Atrial Flutter
Conclusion Cryoballoon PVI as first-line treatment for AFL is equally effective compared with standard CTI ablation for preventing recurrence of atrial arrhythmia and better at preventing new-onset AF. Trial registration number NCT03401099.

Impact of SARS ‐Cov‐2 infection in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: results of an international multicentre registry
ConclusionsOver one-fourth of HCM patients infected with SARS-Cov-2 required hospitalization, including 6% in an ICU setting. Age and cardiac features related to HCM, including baseline functional class, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and systolic impairment, conveyed increased risk of mortality.

Association between oral anticoagulants and COVID-19-related outcomes: a population-based cohort study
CONCLUSION: Among those at low baseline stroke risk, people receiving OACs had a lower risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 and severe COVID-19 outcomes than non-users; this might be explained by a causal effect of OACs in preventing severe COVID-19 outcomes or unmeasured confounding, including more cautious behaviours leading to reduced infection risk.PMID:35440465 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2021.0689

Stroke Prevention After Cryptogenic Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCryptogenic stroke represents a heterogenous but clinically important collection of stroke etiologies for which our understanding continues to grow. Here, we review our current knowledge and most recent recommendations on secondary prevention for common causes of cryptogenic stroke including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, atrial cardiopathy, patent foramen ovale, and substenotic atherosclerotic disease as well as the under-recognized mechanisms of occult malignancy, heart failure, and, most recently, infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2).Recent FindingsThe res...

Comorbidity status of deceased COVID-19 in-patients in Italy
CONCLUSION: In those deceased in-hospital due to COVID-19 in Italy, disease combinations defined by multiple cardio-respiratory, metabolic, and neuropsychiatric diseases occur more frequently than expected. This finding indicates a need to investigate the possible role of these clinical profiles in the chain of events that lead to death in individuals who have contracted SARS-CoV-2.PMID:34169447 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-021-01914-y

Incidence and type of arrhythmias recorded by one-month continuous ECG monitoring in stroke patients
CONCLUSIONSAF and other potentially relevant arrhythmias are frequent after stroke and easily detectable with one-month non-invasive continuous ECG monitoring. Patients with a parafibrillatory status could benefit from longer monitoring time to detect AF.
