Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly increases illness and death rates in older adults who are frail, and this group shows a high prevalence of frailty.
- It is crucial for healthcare providers to understand and address the specific needs of frail older adults dealing with AF.
- This review highlights recent research and landmark studies in relation to the 2023 US guidelines for assessing and managing AF in older frail adults.
Background: Sudden death risk stratification of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction remains challenging. Retrospective studies have suggested N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be a useful risk stratification tool.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the utility of NT-proBNP as a predictor of appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies in primary prevention ICD recipients.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to familiarize radiologists with the specific characteristics of foreign bodies, obtained from image interpretation, to guide further management. Details of object morphologic characteristics and location in the body gained through imaging form the backbone of the classification used in the treatment of ingested foreign bodies.
Conclusion: The characteristics of foreign bodies and predisposing bowel abnormalities affect the decision to follow ingested objects radiographically, perform additional imaging, or proceed with endoscopic or surgical removal.
