Anterior-posterior versus anterior-lateral electrode positions for external cardioversion of atrial fibrillation: a randomised trial

TL;DR: An anterior-posterior electrode position is more effective than the anterior-lateral position for external cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation and should be considered in clinical practice, for the design of defibrillation electrode pads, and when guidelines for cardioversions are updated.

What are the costs of heart failure

TL;DR: This review provides information about the total cost of heart failure and the contribution of different treatment components to the overall costs.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of incidence, prevalence and outcomes of atrial fibrillation in patients on dialysis

TL;DR: The incidence and prevalence of AF in ESRD patients are higher than in the general population and are associated with an increased risk of stroke and mortality, requiring an appropriately designed randomized controlled trial to determine whether anticoagulation is an appropriate therapeutic strategy in patients with end-stage renal disease and atrial fibrillation.

Comparative effects of antiplatelet, anticoagulant, or combined therapy in patients with valvular and nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: a randomized multicenter study.

TL;DR: The combined antiplatelet plus moderate-intensity anticoagulant therapy significantly decreased the vascular events compared with antICOagulation alone and proved to be safe in atrial fibrillation patients.

Safety and efficacy of digoxin: systematic review and meta-analysis of observational and controlled trial data

TL;DR: Digoxin is associated with a neutral effect on mortality in randomised trials and a lower rate of admissions to hospital across all study types and Regardless of statistical analysis, prescription biases limit the value of observational data.
