Ultrasound examination of the carotid artery for improved prediction of cardiovascular events and the effect of statin treatment in advanced atherosclerosis : An observational study
CONCLUSION: The prediction of cardiovascular events was better with plaque burden measurements than with the PROCAM score. Treatment with statins in subjects with advanced carotid atherosclerosis (types III-IV b findings on ultrasound) significantly improved the prognosis in a nonrandomized observational study.PMID:37402837 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-023-05197-z

Current status of antithrombotic therapy and in-hospital outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in Germany
CONCLUSION: The preferred therapy after PCI in patients with AF is DAT with a NOAC and clopidogrel. In-hospital ischemic and bleeding events were rare. The recommended durations for combination therapy vary considerably.PMID:35243515 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-022-05099-6

Left atrial appendage closure : Current data and future developments
Herz. 2021 Aug 31. doi: 10.1007/s00059-021-05065-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCatheter-based left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is currently a potential treatment option for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and high risk for stroke/embolism as well as high bleeding risk. Due to improvements in LAAC devices, advances in implantation techniques and growing experience of the interventional teams, the safety profile of LAAC has significantly improved in recent years. These developments have led to a currently comprehensive exploration of novel indications for LAAC, such as patients with atrial fibri...

Patent foramen ovale-When to close and how?
Herz. 2021 Aug 31. doi: 10.1007/s00059-021-05061-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClosure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients after cryptogenic/cardioembolic stroke is recommended by current guidelines for patients who are 16-60 years of age with a high-risk PFO (class of recommendation A, level of evidence I). The use of double-disk occlusion devices followed by antiplatelet therapy is recommended. The procedure of interventional PFO closure compared with other interventions in cardiology is rather easy to learn. However, it should be performed carefully to avoid postinterventional complications. The number needed...

Anticoagulation in special patient populations with atrial fibrillation
Herz. 2021 Jul 5. doi: 10.1007/s00059-021-05042-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) should be guided by considerations of the risk of thromboembolism, stroke, and bleeding as well as the patient's preference. Well-recognized scores have been developed to help the clinician in daily risk assessment, but there are several special patient populations for whom scores are not developed or validated. Furthermore, these patients were not adequately represented in the pivotal randomized trials for non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs). In patients with cancer, t...
