Introduction And Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients admitted with severe COVID-19. However, there is limited data about the management of chronic anticoagulation therapy in these patients. We assessed the anticoagulation and incidence of major cardiovascular events in hospitalized patients with AF and COVID-19.

Article Synopsis
  • - Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently found in patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19, but there's limited guidance on how to manage their chronic anticoagulation therapy.
  • - This study examined 305 AF patients with COVID-19 across 9 Spanish hospitals, comparing major bleeding, thrombotic events, and mortality against a control group of non-AF COVID-19 patients, revealing higher risks in the AF group.
  • - The findings suggest that AF patients face increased risks for major bleeding and death during hospitalization, indicating that their anticoagulation therapy should be tailored based on individual risks.

Background: Previous studies have investigated weight loss caused by exercise following bariatric surgery. However, in most cases, the training program is poorly reported; the exercise type, volume, and intensity are briefly mentioned; and the sample size, selection criteria, and follow-up time vary greatly across studies.

Purpose: The EFIBAR study aims to investigate over 1 year the effects of a 16-week supervised exercise program, initiated immediately after bariatric surgery, on weight loss (primary outcome), body composition, cardiometabolic risk, physical fitness, and quality of life in patients with severe/extreme obesity.
