Journal ArticleDOI
Interventional occlusion of left atrial appendage in patients with atrial fibrillation. Acute and long-term outcome of occluder implantation in the LAARGE Registry.
Johannes Brachmann,Thorsten Lewalter,Ibrahim Akin,Horst Sievert,Volker Geist,Uwe Zeymer,Damir Erkapic,Harald Mudra,Sven T. Pleger,Matthias Hochadel,Jochen Senges +10 more
TL;DR: LAARGE demonstrates a favorable outcome at 1-year follow-up in terms of stroke/TIA and major bleeding and is unique in its concept, as it is non-manufacturer sponsored and includes all commercially available devices.

Inhibition of Small-Conductance Ca2+-Activated K+ Channels: The Long-Awaited Breakthrough for Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy of Atrial Fibrillation?
Jordi Heijman,Dobromir Dobrev +1 more
TL;DR: Diness et al. as discussed by the authors showed that catheter ablation is more effective in maintaining normal sinus rhythm than antiarrhythmic drugs and is associated with a significant risk for adverse events.

Trends in Prevalence of Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation and Anticoagulation Therapy in a Japanese Region ― Analysis Using the National Health Insurance Database ―
Noritomo Narita,Ken Okumura,Takahiko Kinjo,Joko Mikami,Katsuko Tsushima,Reiko Takahashi,Makiko Noro,Ayaka Hashimoto,Teiko Sasaki,Misaki Takaki,Emiko Ishidoya,Yurika Narita,Hideno Imai,Emiko Ono,Hirofumi Tomita +14 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of NVAF in subjects aged 40-74 years increased gradually from 2014 to 2017 and in the Tsugaru region in Japan, DOACs prescriptions increased and warfarin prescriptions decreased over the 4-year period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stroke and Bleeding Risk Assessments in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Concepts and Controversies
TL;DR: There are a variety of clinical, electrical, biological, and genetic markers to guide stroke and bleeding risk assessments in AF and some have shown promise, but others remain less well-defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac magnetic resonance using late gadolinium enhancement and atrial T1 mapping predicts poor outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation therapy
Julian A. Luetkens,Anne Caroline Wolpers,Thomas Beiert,Daniel Kuetting,Darius Dabir,Rami Homsi,Hendrik Meendermann,Natalie Abou Dayé,Vincent Knappe,Morten A. Karsdal,Signe Holm Nielsen,Federica Genovese,Florian Stöckigt,Markus Linhart,Daniel Thomas,Georg Nickenig,Hans H. Schild,Jan W. Schrickel,René Andrié +18 more
TL;DR: Pre-procedural CMR is a valuable tool for prediction of poor response to catheter ablation Therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and might be valuable for a better patient selection prior to ablation therapy.

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial of Aliskiren in the Prevention of Major Cardiovascular Events in Elderly people was presented. But the authors did not discuss the effect of the combination therapy in patients living with systolic hypertension.

Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. TOAST. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment
Harold P. Adams,Birgitte H. Bendixen,L J Kappelle,José Biller,Betsy B. Love,David Lee Gordon,E. Eugene Marsh +6 more
TL;DR: The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement and should allow investigators to report responses to treatment among important subgroups of patients with ischemic stroke.

Dabigatran versus warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, dabigatran given at a dose of 110 mg was associated with rates of stroke and systemic embolism that were similar to those associated with warfarin, as well as lower rates of major hemorrhage.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins
Michel Haïssaguerre,Pierre Jaïs,D. C. Shah,Atsushi Takahashi,Mélèze Hocini,G Quiniou,S. Garrigue,A Le Mouroux,P Le Métayer,Jacques Clementy +9 more
TL;DR: The pulmonary veins are an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and these foci respond to treatment with radio-frequency ablation.
