Impact of Immunosuppressive Drugs on Patients With Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) reduces the risk of thromboembolic stroke in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation who cannot tolerate long‐term oral anticoagulation. However, outcomes after LAAC in patients requiring chronic immunosuppressive therapy (IMS) remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate

Is ultrasound training sustainable? A systematic review of competency retention in healthcare trainees

Medical Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Despite Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) emerging as an essential clinical skill, evidence regarding practitioners' knowledge retention and competence remains poorly synthesized. This systematic review sought to evaluate PoCUS competency retention patterns using the Indication, Acquisition, Interpretation, Medical decision‐making (I ...

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]

, 2017
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Emerging Concepts in Transesophageal Echocardiography [PDF]

F1000Research, 2016
Introduced in 1977, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) offered imaging through a new acoustic window sitting directly behind the heart, allowing improved evaluation of many cardiac conditions. Shortly thereafter, TEE was applied to the intraoperative environment, as investigators quickly recognized that continuous cardiac evaluation and monitoring ...
