Prediction of incident atrial fibrillation in community-based electronic health records: a systematic review with meta-analysis
Conclusions Models externally validated for prediction of incident AF in community-based EHR demonstrate moderate predictive ability and high risk of bias. Novel methods may provide stronger discriminative performance. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42021245093.

Infective endocarditis: old problem, new guidelines and still much to learn
Despite major advances in treating valvular heart disease, the in-hospital mortality (15–20%) and 1-year mortality (~=40%) for infective endocarditis (IE) has not improved even with modern antibiotics and surgical therapy. Further, stroke (17%), embolisation other than stroke (23%), heart failure (HF) (32%) and other complications remain common; therefore, all precautions to help prevent IE should be employed where indicated.

A new variation of dual left anterior descending coronary artery
We report a new variation of dual LAD which has not been reported previously and coronary computed tomography angiography helped to characterize this anomaly. Our case further expands anatomical variations of dual LADs.>
