Development of a Care Pathway for Atrial Fibrillation Patients in the Emergency Department. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and its prevalence is continuously increasing in the United States, leading to a progressive rise in the number of disease-related emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Although optimal long-term outpatient management for AF is well defined, the guidelines for optimal ED management of acute AF episodes is less clear. Studies have demonstrated that discharging patients with AF from the ED after acute stabilization is both safe and cost effective; however, the majority of these patients in the United States and in our institution are admitted to the hospital. To improve care of these patients, we established a multidisciplinary collaboration to develop an evidence-based systematic approach for the treatment and management of AF in the ED, that led to the creation of the University of California-Cardioversion, Anticoagulation, Rate Control, Expedited Follow-up/Education Atrial Fibrillation Pathway. Our pathway focuses on the acute stabilization of AF, adherence to best practices for anticoagulation, and reduction in unnecessary admissions through discharge from the ED with expedited outpatient follow-up whenever safe. A novel aspect of our pathway is that it is primarily driven by the ED physicians, while other published protocols primarily involve consulting cardiologists to guide management in the ED. Our protocol is very pertinent considering the current trend toward increased AF prevalence in the United States, coupled with a need for widespread implementation of strategies aimed at improving management of these patients while safely reducing hospital admissions and the economic burden of AF.

Esophageal injury is a serious complication following atrial fibrillation catheter ablation procedures. It may manifest as atrio-esophageal fistula, pericardio-esophageal fistula (PEF), or restricted perforation, with high mortality rate if left unoperated. Chest computed tomography with intravenous contrast is the mainstay of diagnosis; however, a definite imaging diagnosis is often delayed and may worsen patient outcomes.

Value of P-wave Parameters in Predicting Outcomes of Repeat Catheter Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol

December 2024

Department of Cardiology, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, Glenfield Hospital, Leicester, UK.

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been established as an effective management option for symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). We aimed to explore the role of P-wave parameters in a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) in predicting the success of repeat PAF ablation.

Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients who underwent a second AF ablation procedure for PAF in a UK tertiary center after an index ablation conducted between 2018 and 2019 and a repeat ablation up to 2021.

Background: Pacemaker recipients demonstrate a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), yet the regular ventricular activation in pacemaker-dependent patients with AF presents a substantial diagnostic challenge.

Methods: A total of 310 medical practitioners completed a brief, validated survey consisting of three electrocardiograms displaying AF with ventricular pacing. Participants were instructed to identify the underlying rhythm.

Background And Aims: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly common clinical syndrome, estimated to constitute approximately 50 % of all heart failure (HF) cases. Nonetheless, registries from specific geographic areas, as Latin America, are lacking. The present study aims to report the underlying causes, comorbidities, treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with HFpEF in a large cardiovascular center in Mexico City.

Background: Secundum Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs) are the most common type of atrial septal defects. Today, using different types of occluders, transcatheter closure is widely used to treat ASD and has replaced the surgical procedure in anatomically suitable patients. This study was performed to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of treatment of adult patients requiring an ASD device closure referred to Shahid Chamran Cardiovascular Center in Isfahan, Iran.
