The effect of a case-finding app on the detection rate of atrial fibrillation compared with opportunistic screening in primary care patients: protocol for a cluster randomized trial

Trials, 2021
Background Atrial fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia commonly encountered in a primary care setting. Current screening is limited to pulse palpation and ECG confirmation when an irregular pulse is found.

Risk of Severe Hypoglycemia Associated With Concomitant Use of Sulfonylureas and Amiodarone

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To evaluate whether initiation of amiodarone while receiving sulfonylurea is associated with an increased risk of severe hypoglycemia compared with the initiation of other antiarrhythmic agents (flecainide, sotalol, or propafenone) while receiving sulfonylurea. Materials and Methods We conducted a population‐based cohort study using South

Venous Thromboembolism in Hematologic Malignancies: Incidence, Risk Factors, and the Role of Direct Oral Anticoagulants

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thrombotic events, particularly venous thromboembolism (VTE), are a significant source of morbidity and mortality among patients with hematologic malignancies. These patients face unique challenges due to treatment‐related complications such as thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, and heightened bleeding risk.

An Approach to Working Up Cases of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundFrom a therapeutic viewpoint, it is important to differentiate the underlying causes of embolism in patients with cryptogenic stroke, such as aortic arch atheroma, patent foramen ovale, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Clinical Utility of Tissue Proximity Indication With a Variable‐Loop Circular Catheter for Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The variable‐loop circular catheter (VLCC, VARIPULSE) is a pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) catheter equipped with a Tissue Proximity Indication (TPI) function, which monitors catheter‐tissue contact. Although TPI‐negative sites have been reported to contribute to gap formation, no studies have evaluated the utility of real‐time function.

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in cryptogenic stroke

Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management, 2011
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is perhaps the most underdiagnosed mechanism of apparent cryptogenic stroke (CS). Various studies have shown that increasing the duration of monitoring can increase the diagnosis of PAF in CS.We compared demographic and risk factors for ischemic stroke across different TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke ...

Comparison of Pentaspline Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter Mapping Modes to Assess Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Pentaspline mapping in pulsed field AF ablation. ABSTRACT Background We assessed the electro‐anatomic mapping (EAM) capabilities of a pulsed field ablation (PFA) system previously guided by fluoroscopy to assess acquisition modes, and effects of near and far‐field signal.
