Article Synopsis
- Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) experience worse short-term outcomes, including higher rates of acute kidney injury and major bleeding compared to those in normal sinus rhythm.
- The study analyzed TAVI patients from 2012 to 2022, focusing on short-term hospital outcomes and long-term effects at an average follow-up of 3.2 years.
- Results showed that both preexisting and new-onset AF increased the risk of all-cause death and hospitalization after TAVI, indicating a significant link between AF and negative health outcomes in this patient group.
Aims: To know the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), as well as the incidence of postoperative AF (POAF) in vascular surgery for arterial diseases and its outcome implications.
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis following the PRISMA statement.
Results: After the selection process, we analyzed 44 records (30 for the prevalence of AF history and 14 for the incidence of POAF).
Background: Strategies for blood conservation, coupled with a careful preoperative assessment, may be applied to Jehovah's Witnesses (JW) patients who are candidates for cardiac surgery interventions. There is a need to assess clinical outcomes and safety of bloodless surgery in JW patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing JW patients with controls undergoing cardiac surgery.
Background: Telemedicine requires either the use of digital tools or a minimum technological knowledge of the patients. Digital health literacy may influence the use of telemedicine in most patients, particularly those with frailty. We aimed to explore the association between frailty, the use of digital tools, and patients' digital health literacy.

Methods: From March to June 2020, a survey on telehealth among cardiology outpatients was performed.
