Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac diseases and a complicating comorbidity for multiple associated diseases. Many clinical decisions regarding AF are currently based on the binary recognition of AF being present or absent with the categorical appraisal of AF as continued or intermittent. Assessment of AF in clinical trials is largely limited to the time to (first) detection of an AF episode.

Background: Although rare, embolization of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices carries a significant morbidity and mortality burden.
Case Summary: An asymptomatic 77-year-old woman with inability to tolerate anticoagulation due to gastrointestinal bleeding presented for 45-day transesophageal echocardiography following LAAO with a Watchman device, which demonstrated incidental device migration to the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). Percutaneous extraction was performed using a novel technique with rat tooth/alligator forceps to successfully retrieve the Watchman from the LVOT using a transaortic approach.

Background: One of the limiting toxicities of BTKi is the development of atrial fibrillation (AF), with an incidence of 3%-16%.
Aim: This study aimed to identify patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) starting both first- and second-generation BTKis who are at high risk of developing AF using a machine learning approach.
Methods: The CLL cohort is based on data obtained from electronic medical records from Maccabi, the second-largest healthcare organization in Israel.

Background: Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections are a serious complication associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Despite guideline recommendations for complete device removal, disparities in healthcare access and resource availability between urban and rural settings may influence patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate rural-urban disparities in the management and outcomes of patients hospitalized with CIED infections.
