Atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation is safe and effective, though rare cases of takotsubo syndrome (TTS) have been observed without proven causation. This review synthesizes TTS following AF ablation case reports and series. Until October 2024, PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched for AF ablation and TTS case reports and series.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between dapagliflozin and the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL), along with its impact on all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Material And Methods: Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this meta-analysis conducted a comprehensive search across PubMed, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases up to June 2021.

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel nonthermal ablation technique for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, with safety comparable to traditional catheter ablation surgery. The present study aims to evaluate and compare the procedural efficiency and safety profiles of PFA and cryoballoon ablation (CBA) in the management of AF. We performed a systematic search across PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase databases, encompassing the literature up to February 2024, to inform our systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Intravenous (IV) diltiazem and metoprolol are commonly used to achieve rate control for atrial fibrillation with RVR (Afib with RVR), and are both recommended as first-line by current guidelines. While prior studies investigated the efficacy of these medications, there is little evidence available regarding the risk of adverse events (AEs) with their use.

Methods: We identified randomized controlled trials (RCT) and observational studies reporting rates of AEs following administration of IV diltiazem and metoprolol for Afib with RVR by searching PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library.

Background: Recommendations on atrial fibrillation (AF) screening by various scientific societies are inconsistent due to uncertainty about its benefit. This study aimed to summarize data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the impact of AF screening on thromboembolism, major bleeding, and mortality.

Methods: We searched PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase to identify studies providing relevant data through September 05, 2024.
