Clinical electrophysiology of the aging heart
Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2022 Feb;20(2):123-139. doi: 10.1080/14779072.2022.2045196. Epub 2022 Mar 14.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Advancements in medical and consumer-grade technologies have made it easier than ever to monitor a patient's heart rhythm and to diagnose arrhythmias. Octogenarians with symptomatic arrhythmias have unique management challenges due to their frailty, complex drug interactions, cognitive impairment, and competing comorbidities. The management decisions are further complicated by the lack of randomized evidence to guide treatment.AREAS COVERED: A comprehensive literature review was undertaken to outli...

Trends in the pharmacological management of atrial fibrillation in UK general practice 2008-2018
Conclusions
There has been an increase in the proportion of patients with AF appropriately prescribed anticoagulants following National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and European Society of Cardiology guidelines, which correlates with improvements in mortality and stroke outcomes. Beta-blockers appear increasingly favoured over digoxin for rate control. There has been a steady decline in GP prescribing rates for rhythm control drugs, possibly related to concerns over efficacy and safety and increased availability of AF ablation.

Derivation and Validation of a Clinical Score for Predicting Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Noncardiac Elective Surgery (the HART Score)
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) represents the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia in the surgical setting. It affects almost 3% of all patients over 45 years old who underwent noncardiovascular surgery and is associated with a higher risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cardiac arrest. The study aimed to assess independent predictors of POAF and derive and validate a score for risk prediction in clinical practice. This was a retrospective cohort study including all consecutive candidates to all types of noncardiac elective surgery attending a cardiological preoperative assessment from 2016 to 2019.

Effectiveness and safety of oral anticoagulants in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation
Conclusion
In this nationwide cohort study of patients ≥75 years initiating oral anticoagulation for AF, standard and reduced dose NOACs were associated with similar risks of stroke/SE as warfarin and lower or similar risks of bleeding. The NOACs seem to be a safe option also in elderly patients.

Atrial fibrillation and risk of incident heart failure with reduced versus preserved ejection fraction
Conclusions
AF is associated with both HFrEF and HFpEF events, with no significant difference in the strength of association among these subtypes.

Safety and feasibility of same-day discharge for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionIn carefully selected AF patients undergoing CA, same-day discharge strategy is feasible and safe. There are no significant differences in post-discharge 30-day hospital visits, post-discharge vascular complications, and other safety outcomes. Randomized trials are needed to validate these hypothesis-generating findings.

Novel bleeding prediction model in atrial fibrillation patients on new oral anticoagulants
Conclusions
We present a novel and simple risk score for prediction of major bleeding in patients with non-valvular AF treated with NOACs. Validation in additional cohorts is warranted.

In-hospital adverse events in low-risk patients with acute myocardial infarction - Potential implications for earlier discharge
CONCLUSION: In patients with acute MI with low GRACE and/or CADILLAC risk scores who were free from acute events within 3 days, early discharge after primary percutaneous coronary intervention may be feasible and safe.PMID:35078684 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2022.01.003
