Determinants of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery
Rev Cardiovasc Med. 2021 Jun 30;22(2):329-341. doi: 10.31083/j.rcm2202040.ABSTRACTPost-operative Atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication post cardiac surgery. It can result in detrimental short- and long-term outcomes due to the increased risk of stroke, cardiac arrest and congestive heart failure in addition to prolonged intensive care and total hospital stay raising the overall healthcare cost. Accurately identifying predictors and biomarkers for POAF ensures that patients at greatest risk can be given the appropriate prophylactic measures; resources can be distributed to the groups who are most in need and w...

Atrial Fibrillation in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Evidence-based Review About Mechanism, Complications and Management
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is 1 of the most frequent genetic cardiovascular diseases affecting 1 out of every 500 individuals in general population. Atrial Fibrillation incidences were 3.8% per 100 patients per year and overall prevalence among HCM patients are 27.09%. Higher risk of death noted in HCM patients with atrial fibrillation. Stroke and other thrombo embolic risks are increased in such patients. Medical management using mainly betablockers or amiodarone produced variable results and high rate of recurrence. Catheter ablation reduced symptom burden and complications despite moderate recurrence. Patients wi...

Is Arterial Stiffness a Determinant of Hypotension?
ConclusionsHypotension is a quite common phenomenon in older subjects. Its prevention requires a more accurate management of hypertension aimed at better identifying which older subjects in whom intensive BP control may be harmful and those who may benefit from it.

Perioperative Beta-Blocker for Atrial Fibrillation after Cardiac Surgery: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions Perioperative use of BB is effective in preventing POAF even in patients undergoing cardiac surgery other than isolated CABG, although it did not translate into improved clinical outcomes.

Beta-blocker therapy and risk of vascular dementia: A population-based prospective study.
Abstract There are a few studies that report cognitive impairment as a complication of treatment with beta- blockers. We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal association between use of beta-blockers, as a class, and incident risk of all-cause dementia, vascular dementia, Alzheimer's and mixed dementia in the prospective population-based Malmö Preventive Project. We included 18,063 individuals (mean age 68.2, males 63.4%) followed up for 84,506 person-years. Dementia cases were retrieved from the Swedish National Patient Register and validated by review of medical records and neuroimaging data. We performed propensi...
