Background: Antithrombotic therapy (AT) after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) has the purpose of preventing device related thrombosis (DRT), avoiding embolic events; nevertheless, the correct antithrombotic regimen after LAAO is still under debate.
Aims: Aim of this substudy of the observational LOGIC registry was to describe the efficacy and safety of a light antithrombotic regimen, comprising single antiplatelet therapy or none, compared to a standard antithrombotic regimen, after a successful LAAO.
Methods: Patients with NVAF that underwent LAAO were previously included in the LOGIC registry.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with elevated dementia risk, while few studies have examined the role of the optimal glycemic status in disease trajectories of AF and dementia.
Objectives: We aim to evaluate associations between glycemic status with disease trajectories of AF and dementia, as well as major dementia subtypes, including Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
Design: Population-based cohort study.

Background: Although catheter ablation (CA) by mean of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is nowadays the mainstay treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), its success-rate in persistent AF remains suboptimal. Results from studies evaluating whether adding posterior wall isolation (PWI) to PVI can increase the success-rate of CA in persistent AF have yielded conflicting data. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess whether PWI plus PVI might be beneficial in patients with persistent AF.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the UK Biobank database (2004-2021), which included 3,634 participants with new-onset RBBB and 3,643 matched controls.
