Cardiac Arrests, Arrhythmias in COVID-19 Also a Consequence of Systemic Illness
Cardiac arrests and arrhythmias observed in patients with COVID-19 were found to result from infection by the virus as well as systemic conditions.
Arrhythmia
Assessment of Bacteremia Associated With Anticoagulant Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation
Treatment with the thrombin inhibitor dabigatran was associated with a decreased incidence of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia compared with treatment with the factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban and apixaban.
AHA Statement on Managing Pregnant Women With CVD
The American Heart Association outlined several considerations for the management of pregnant women with CVD or CVD-related conditions.
Risks Associated With Loss of Ventricular Pre-excitation in Children With Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
Nonpersistent pre-excitation was associated with fewer high-risk accessory pathway in children with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Daily Coffee May Lower Risk of Developing Arrhythmia
Regular coffee consumption is associated with a significantly lower risk for arrhythmias.
Cognitive Impairment in AFib May Be Associated With Inadequate Antithrombotic Therapy, Suboptimal OAT
Among patients with permanent atrial fibrillation, cognitive impairment may be more common in those with suboptimal antithrombotic therapy, oral anticoagulation, or heart rate control.
Genetic Susceptibility Underlies Greater Risk for Arrhythmia, SCD in Blacks With COVID-19
African Americans may be at greater risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death if infected with SARS-CoV-2, due to genetic susceptibility and environmental factors.
Same-Day Discharge After AF Abalation: Evaluating Outcomes
Same-day discharge after atrial fibrillation ablation was found to be safe and effective.
Hydroxychloroquine/Azithromycin Combination Found to Prolong QTc Without Clinically Relevant Consequences
A combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to treat patients with COVID-19 was found to prolong QTc interval without clinically affecting patients.
Significant QT Prolongation Associated With Chloroquine/Hydroxychloroquine Treatment for COVID-19
The treatment of patients with COVID-19 with chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine may result in significant QT prolongation.
