European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA)/Heart Rhythm Society (HRS)/Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS)/Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS) expert consensus on risk assessment in cardiac arrhythmias: use the right tool for the right outcome, in the right population

Jens Cosedis Nielsen, +52 more
TL;DR: This expert consensus statement task force was set down to raise awareness of using the right risk assessment tool for a given outcome in a given population, and to provide physicians with practical proposals that may lead to rational and evidence-based risk assessment and improvement of patient care in this regard.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adherence to oral anticoagulants among patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

TL;DR: It is shown that up to 30% of patients with AF are non-adherent, suggesting an important therapeutic challenge in this patient population, and higher medical costs compared with patients with poor adherence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term detection of atrial fibrillation with insertable cardiac monitors in a real-world cryptogenic stroke population.

TL;DR: AF episodes were detected via continuous monitoring with ICMs in approximately 1 of every 5 CS patients within 2years of follow-up, suggesting ICMs should be considered in the evaluation of CS patients.

Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. TOAST. Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment

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.

Spontaneous Initiation of Atrial Fibrillation by Ectopic Beats Originating in the Pulmonary Veins

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.
