Integrative approaches to atrial fibrillation prevention and management: Leveraging gut health for improved cardiovascular outcomes in the aging population.
Curr Probl Cardiol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart condition linked to serious complications like stroke and heart failure, and recent studies suggest that an imbalance in gut bacteria may play a significant role, especially in older adults.
- The review explores how gut microbiota and their byproducts might trigger AF and stresses the need for more research on the connection between gut health and heart function, which is often overlooked.
- Future studies should focus on the gut microbiome's impact on AF and consider using probiotics or prebiotics as part of treatment, potentially leading to innovative ways to improve patient care by connecting heart and gut health.
Objectives: To establish a nationwide epidemiological profile of transfusion-transmittable infection (TTI) markers among seemingly healthy blood donors to update policies required to ensure blood safety.
Methods: A nationwide, cross-sectional study was designed to examine donor demographics and TTI prevalence during 2020 using data provided by the Ministry of Health, Saudi Arabia.
Results: Collectively, a total of 375,218 whole blood units were donated, of which 32,758 (8.
Background: Blood product supply and utilization are understudied in Saudi Arabia. This study evaluates the trends in Saudi blood banks readiness, donors' demography, and blood product utilization and wastage.
Study Design And Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study of records obtained from the Ministry of Health (MOH) was initiated to report trends and statistics on annual whole blood donors and blood product utility from 2010 to 2020.

Objectives: Investigate the prevalence of Rh and the K antigens and their phenotypes in the red blood cells of blood donors in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This is a retrospective study. The five principal Rh antigens (D, C, c, E, e) and the Kell antigen from the Kell blood group were tested in 4,675 random samples collected from four blood bank centers in Riyadh.
