Mining the electronic medical record in patients with atrial fibrillation
I found several interesting nuggets of information in the new atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke analysis from Patel et al1 published in this issue of HeartRhythm, starting with their use of the electronic medical record (EMR) to ask clinical questions. Most of us have a love-hate relationship with our EMR, but the undeniable truth is that it is here to stay. As you invest another late evening or the weekend catchi ng up with your EMR, how often have you wondered whether you can put all this documentation to scientific use? Certainly this is a laudable goal, but, in real life, easier said than done.

Race and stroke in an atrial fibrillation inception cohort: Findings from the Penn Atrial Fibrillation Free study
Stroke may be the initial manifestation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Limited studies, however, have evaluated racial differences in stroke before the diagnosis of AF.

Irregularity and lack of p-waves in short tachycardia episodes predict atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is defined as an irregular supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) without p-waves, with a duration>30s. It is not known whether AF characteristics in shorter SVT episodes predict AF and stroke.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is defined as an irregular supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) without p waves, with duration>30 seconds. Whether AF characteristics during short SVT episodes predict AF and stroke is not known.

Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation: The significance of progression to longer episodes
Subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF) is a term to describe short-lasting (minutes to hours), asymptomatic AF detected via long-term continuous monitoring, typically using an implanted pacemaker, defibrillator or cardiac monitor (1). Both the TRENDS and ASSERT studies have shown that SCAF is associated with an increased risk of stroke (1, 2). However, unlike clinical AF where stroke risk is increased 4-5 times, the risk is only 2-2.5 times increased, and the absolute risk of stroke observed in these studies was much lower than expected based on the subjects ’ CHADS-2 score (1-3).

Use of the SAMe-TT2R2 score to predict anticoagulation control in atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism patients treated with vitamin K antagonists: A review
Identifying patients who are likely to achieve and maintain a therapeutic INR when prescribed a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is challenging. The SAMe-TT2R2 score was developed based on common clinical factors that can highlight patients who may be unable to achieve and maintain good anticoagulation control and for whom a ‘trial of warfarin’ would be inadvisable. This review summarises the main published prospective and retrospective studies that have validated the SAMe-TT2R2 score in AF and VTE patients treated with a VKA and how the SAMe-...

Use of the SAMe-TT2R2 score to predict anticoagulation control in atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism patients receiving vitamin K antagonists: A review
Identifying patients who are likely to achieve and maintain a therapeutic international normalized ratio when prescribed a vitamin K antagonist for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is challenging. The SAMe-TT2R2 score was developed on the basis of common clinical factors that can highlight patients who may be unable to achieve and maintain good anticoagulation control and for whom a “trial of warfarin” would be inadvisable.

Detection of new atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiac implanted electronic devices and factors associated with transition to higher device-detected atrial fibrillation burden
In patients with cardiac implanted electronic devices (CIEDs) detection of new atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of stroke.

Renal function and risk of stroke and bleeding in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: comparison between uninterrupted direct oral anticoagulants and warfarin administration
The effect of uninterrupted oral anticoagulant use in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is not fully understood.
