A short cut review was carried out to establish whether anticoagulation is indicated after emergency department cardioversion of a patient with acute onset atrial fibrillation. 243 papers were found using the reported search, of which none presented any evidence to answer the clinical question. It is concluded that there is no evidence available to answer this question. Further research is needed.

Background: Observational studies have reported that sleep is associated with the risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the causal relationships among various sleep traits remain contentious, and whether MDD mediates the impact of specific sleep traits on CVDs is unclear.
Methods: We performed two-sample Mendelian randomisation analyses to explore whether insomnia, sleep time, daytime napping, daytime sleepiness, chronotype, snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea were causally associated with the risk of five CVDs, including coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation and stroke.
Perioperative Management of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients having a High-Bleed-Risk Surgery or Neuraxial Procedure: The PAUSE-2 Pilot Randomized Trial.
J Thromb Haemost

Department of Medicine, Anticoagulation and Clinical Thrombosis Service, Northwell Health at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York, NY, the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, Hempstead, NY, and the Institute of Health Systems Science at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, Manhasset, NY, USA.
Background: There is uncertainty about the perioperative management of patients who are receiving a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) and require an elective high-bleed-risk surgery, including those who are undergoing a neuraxial or deep peripheral nerve block procedure.
Methods: The Perioperative Anticoagulant Use for Surgery Evaluation (PAUSE)-2 pilot trial was a proof-of-concept, open-label, randomized controlled trial that assessed the feasibility of comparing perioperative DOAC management using an American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA)-based or PAUSE-based approach in patients with atrial fibrillation who needed an elective high-bleed-risk surgery/procedure and/or any neuraxial anesthesia/procedure.
Results: There were 159 patients enrolled (86 on apixaban, 12 on dabigatran, and 61 on rivaroxaban), of whom 141 had pre-operative DOAC level testing done.
Novel tailored very-high-power short-duration radiofrequency ablation around the esophagus guided by left atrial voltage.
J Cardiol
March 2025
Division of Cardiology, Osaka Rosai Hospital, Osaka, Japan. Electronic address:
Background: Very-high-power short-duration (vHPSD) radiofrequency (RF) ablation is expected to make shallow lesions and reduce collateral damage. This study investigated the power setting and quality of acute lesions performed by a modified vHPSD RF ablation guided by left atrial (LA) voltage around the esophagus.
Methods: A voltage map was obtained by an OCTARAY catheter (3-mm spacing) during pacing from the high right atrium.

Department of Cardiology, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu City, PR China. Electronic address:
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common diagnosed heart disease that needs novel managements. This study aimed to seek potential biomarkers and underlying regulatory pathways associated with AF.
Methods: Differential expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, followed by a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to discover hub genes.
