Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart condition linked to serious complications like stroke and heart failure, and recent studies suggest that an imbalance in gut bacteria may play a significant role, especially in older adults.
- The review explores how gut microbiota and their byproducts might trigger AF and stresses the need for more research on the connection between gut health and heart function, which is often overlooked.
- Future studies should focus on the gut microbiome's impact on AF and consider using probiotics or prebiotics as part of treatment, potentially leading to innovative ways to improve patient care by connecting heart and gut health.

Article Synopsis
- A 72-year-old woman with pre-existing health issues underwent an ERCP to remove bile duct stones but faced complications including abdominal pain and jaundice post-surgery.
- During the ERCP, she experienced a drop in oxygen saturation and arrhythmia, leading to a diagnosis of gas embolism confirmed by imaging, revealing air bubbles in her heart.
- Despite several emergency interventions, her condition worsened, and due to financial constraints, she was discharged against medical advice, highlighting the rarity and management difficulties of ERCP-related air embolism.
