Traumatic injury: another unjustified reason to stop oral anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation
This editorial refers to ‘Resumption of oral anticoagulation following traumatic injury and risk of stroke and bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation: a nationwide cohort study’††, by L. Staerket al., on page 1698.

Resumption of oral anticoagulation following traumatic injury and risk of stroke and bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation: a nationwide cohort study
ConclusionAF patients resuming VKA and NOAC treatment following traumatic injury have lower hazard of all-cause mortality and ischaemic stroke, increased hazard of major bleeding but without additional hazards of recurrent traumatic injury. Withholding OAC following a traumatic injury in AF patients may not be warranted.

A meta-analysis of continuous positive airway pressure therapy in prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea
ConclusionCPAP therapy might reduce MACE and stroke among subjects with CPAP time exceeding 4 h/night. Additional randomized trials mandating adequate CPAP time adherence are required to confirm this impression.

Uncommon cause of dyspnoea after percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage
A 69-year-old female with persistent atrial fibrillation and history of recurrent strokes presented with progressive shortness of breath. Three years ago, percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA) for stroke prophylaxis was performed using an Amplatzer Amulet® device (St. Jude Medical, MN, USA).

Atrial fibrillation as a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia
ConclusionIn adults aged 45 –85 years AF is associated with accelerated cognitive decline and higher risk of dementia even at ages when AF incidence is low. At least in part, this was explained by incident cardiovascular disease in patients with AF.

Foreign body granuloma as an unexpected long-term finding after percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale
A 67-year-old man was referred to our hospital for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Eight years earlier, prior to diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, the patient suffered an ischaemic stroke. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) was diagnosed and the patient underwent percutaneous PFO closure by implantation of a Premere device (20 mm, St. Jude Medical). One month ago, the patient had another middle-cerebral artery infarction, which was considered cardioembolic due to insufficient anticoagulation. However, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) obtained on current admission demonstrated a suspicious mass in the left atrium...

Long-term symptom improvement and patient satisfaction following catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia: insights from the German ablation registry
Conclusion</div>Ablation therapy for SVT is a safe procedure bringing symptomatic improvement and satisfaction to three quarters of patients after 1 year. Even in patients with arrhythmia recurrence, a high satisfaction level and adherence to the ablating institution could be documented. Strikingly high mortality and stroke rates in follow-up were observed in AFL patients, who apparently need consistent long-term anticoagulation and more medical attention.

Subclinical thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases: 2016 update
AbstractSubclinical thyroid dysfunction comprises subclinical hypothyroidism (SHypo), defined as elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) by normal free thyroxine (FT4), and subclinical hyperthyroidism (SHyper) with decreased or undetectable TSH and normal FT4. Up to 10% of the elderly have SHypo, which is usually asymptomatic. Individual participant data (IPD) analyses of prospective cohort studies from the international Thyroid Studies Collaboration show that SHypo is associated with increased coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1,58 for TSH ≥ 10 mIU/L, 95% CI 1.10–2.27), as well as increased ...
