Background: Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) serves as an alternative prophylactic strategy for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who cannot undergo anti-coagulation therapy. Proper management of associated complications is crucial to enhancing the procedure's success rate and mitigating perioperative risks and adverse events during follow-up.
Aims: This study aims to summarize our center's experience and strategies in managing procedural-related complications encountered in 512 cases of LAAC with or without ablation for AF conducted from January 2020 to December 2023.
Background: Previous studies have not thoroughly explored the impact of serum osmolality levels on early mortality in heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum osmolality levels and early all-cause mortality in patients with HFrEF.
Methods: The open access MIMIC-IV database was the source of data for our study.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the psychological impact of COVID-19, focusing on the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and insomnia across various populations, including healthcare workers, college students, COVID-19 patients, and the general public.
- A total of 42 systematic reviews/meta-analyses encompassing over 8 million participants revealed significant prevalence rates: anxiety (15-47%), depression (16-52%), and insomnia (27-48%), with COVID-19 patients showing the highest levels, especially for insomnia.
- The methodological evaluation of the reviews showed that only a few were rated as medium to high quality, indicating potential issues in the reliability of the findings, but still highlighted that insomnia was more prevalent than anxiety among the studied
