: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) can prevent ventricular arrhythmia-related sudden cardiac death but cause paradoxical discomfort that impairs daily living and quality of life. No management guidelines exist for reducing pain, improving motion around the CIED implantation site, or preventing shoulder contractures. We evaluated the impact of continuous successive shoulder rehabilitation programs for CIED patients on reducing shoulder pain, improving shoulder range of motion, and patient satisfaction in daily living.

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia in the United States, affects 6 million Americans, with numbers projected to increase to 12 million by 2030. A racial paradox difference in the incidence and prevalence of AF exists between Black and White Americans. Black Americans are less prone than White Americans to development of AF, but they display a higher burden of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and higher rates of ischemic stroke.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) exists in 20-25% of the adult population, and about 40% of adults who present with cryptogenic stroke (CS) have a PFO. The benefit of intervention has been debated with regard to stroke prevention given the high risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF). In light of this, clinical decision-making is guided by PFO-Associated Stroke Causal Likelihood (PASCAL) classification and Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) score analysis.
