If so, what diastolic parameters do you look at?
For additional context, work up with TTE and exercise stress testing have all been reassuring and normal.
To further elaborate, what level of obstruction with a normal stress test would be acceptable, and what would be too high risk? Would you consider an ...
It seems clear that longer monitoring yields more AF detected. What is less clear to me is whether all ILR-detected AF is relevant and merits anticoag...
Would you recommend left atrial appendage occlusion with or without continuing anticoagulation? In light of Maarse et al., JAMA Neurology 2024.
If PVC burden exceeded 10-15%, would you offer ablation in the absence of specific symptoms?
Can sotalol initiation for atrial fibrillation be performed safely outpatient, and if so, what would be a reasonable approach to accomplishing this?&n...
How would you balance the stroke risk against the bleeding risk? And how would the AF burden play into your decision- would you treat 6 minutes of AF ...
Do you have a preference on type of adjunct AV nodal blocker to use, and do propafenone and flecainide have similar safety profiles?
Would you then opt for double vector DCCV to deliver 2, 360J shocks simultaneously, and/or bolus with amiodarone?
Marcus et al., PMID 34775507
Is there a percent change in QTc in which you would consider stopping amiodarone, especially in patients who have baseline wide QRS complexes?
For example, for younger patients on amiodarone or those who wish to come off antiarrhythmics because of medication side effects.
Individual times in the therapeutic range while on VKA treatment was not registered in FRAIL-AF.
Joglar et al., PMID 38033089
Marcus et al., PMID 34775507
What are the real-life implications of the MONITOR-AF study to the routine management of AF?
Do you include the amount of IV amiodarone already administered as part of the loading dose?
In FRAIL-AF, participants were switched from VKA to dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban.
And how do patient characteristics affect your decisions?
Specifically, what is your approach to outpatient monitoring to assess atrial fibrillation burden for patients with CHADS2Vasc score>2?
And if so, what is a reasonable length of time for outpatient cardiac monitoring?
(Assuming that the patient would require V-pacing almost all the time)
