- Abstract
Stroke remains one of the most serious complications in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and has been linked to disturbances of the autonomic nervous system. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that impaired cardiac autonomic function might be associated with an enhanced stroke risk in AF patients. A total of 1922 AF patients who were in either sinus rhythm (SR group; n = 1121) or AF (AF group; n = 801) on a 5-minute resting electrocardiographic (ECG) recording were enrolled in the study. Heart rate variability triangular index (HRVI), standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals, root mean square root of successive differences of normal-to-normal intervals, mean heart rate, 5-minute total power, and power in the high-frequency, low-frequency, and very-low-frequency ranges were calculated. Cox regression models were constructed to examine the association of heart rate variability (HRV) parameters with the composite endpoint of stroke or systemic embolism. Mean age was 71 ± 8 years in the SR group and 75 ± 8 years in the AF group. Thirty-seven patients in the SR group (3.4%) and 60 patients in the AF group (8.0%) experienced a stroke or systemic embolism during follow-up of 5 years. In patients with SR, HRVI <15 was the strongest HRV parameter to be associated with stroke or systemic embolism (hazard ratio 3.04; 95% confidence interval 1.3–7.0; P =.009) after adjustment for multiple confounders. In the AF group, no HRV parameter was found to be associated with the composite endpoint. HRVI measured during SR on a single 5-minute ECG recording is independently associated with stroke or systemic embolism in AF patients. HRV analysis in SR may help to improve risk stratification in AF patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Aims To develop and externally validate a risk score for all-cause hospital admissions in patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods and results We used a prospective cohort of 2387 patients with established atrial fibrillation as derivation cohort. Independent risk factors were selected from a broad range of variables using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method fit to a Cox model. The risk score was validated in a separate prospective cohort of 1300 atrial fibrillation patients. The incidence of all-cause hospital admission was 19.1 per 100 person-years in the derivation cohort and it was 26.1 per 100 person-years in the validation cohort. The most important predictors for admission were age (75–79 years: adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.34; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01–1.78; 80–84 years: aHR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.11–2.03; ≥85 years: aHR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.36–2.62), prior pulmonary vein isolation (aHR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.58–0.88), hypertension (aHR, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.99–1.36), diabetes (aHR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.17–1.62), coronary heart disease (aHR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.02–1.36), prior stroke/transient ischaemic attack (aHR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.18–1.47), heart failure (aHR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.03–1.39), peripheral artery disease (aHR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.08–1.67), cancer (aHR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.12–1.57), renal failure (aHR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.99–1.37) and previous falls (aHR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.13–1.74). A risk score with these variables was well calibrated, and achieved a C-index of 0.64 in the derivation and 0.59 in the validation cohort.Conclusions Multiple risk factors were associated with hospital admissions in atrial fibrillation patients. This prediction tool selects high-risk patients who may benefit from preventive interventions.

- Abstract
Background: Electrical cardioversion (ECV) is frequently performed in symptomatic atrial fibrillation., Objective: This study aimed to assess the association of ECV with infarcts on brain magnetic resonance imaging (bMRI) and clinical outcomes., Methods: The Swiss Atrial Fibrillation Cohort Study included 2386 patients; 1731 patients were evaluated by bMRI. ECVs were recorded by questionnaire. Patients were assigned to categories by number of ECVs performed before enrollment (0, 1, ≥2). A bMRI study was conducted at baseline and after 2 years (n = 1227) and analyzed for large noncortical or cortical infarcts and small noncortical infarcts. Clinical outcomes were recorded during follow-up. Associations of ECV and outcome measures were assessed by multivariate analyses., Results: There was no independent association between the number of ECVs and infarct prevalence (large noncortical or cortical infarcts and small noncortical infarcts) on baseline bMRI (ECV 1 vs 0: odds ratio [OR], 0.95 [95% CI, 0.68-1.24]; ECV ≥2 vs 0: OR, 1.04 [0.72-1.44]) or between ECVs performed during follow-up and new infarcts on bMRI at 2 years (OR, 1.46 [0.54-3.31]). ECVs were not associated with overt stroke or transient ischemic attack (ECV 1 vs 0: hazard ratio [HR], 1.36 [0.88-2.10]; ECV ≥2 vs 0: HR, 1.53 [0.94-2.48]), hospitalization for heart failure (ECV 1 vs 0: HR, 1.06 [0.82-1.37]; ECV ≥2 vs 0: HR, 1.03 [0.77-1.38]), or death (ECV 1 vs 0: HR, 0.90 [0.70-1.15]; ECV ≥2 vs 0: HR, 0.91 [0.69-1.20])., Conclusion: There was no association between ECV performed before enrollment and cerebral infarcts on baseline bMRI or between ECV performed during follow-up and new infarcts at 2 years. Moreover, ECV was not associated with clinical events., (Copyright © 2024 Heart Rhythm Society. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
BACKGROUND. The energy demand of interventional imaging systems has historically been estimated using manufacturer-provided specifications rather than directly measured. OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the energy consumption of interventional imaging systems and estimate potential savings in the carbon emissions and electricity costs of such systems through hypothetical operational adjustments. METHODS. An interventional radiology suite, neurointerventional suite, radiology fluoroscopy unit, two cardiology laboratories, and two urology fluoroscopy units were equipped with power sensors. Power measurement logs were extracted for a single 4-week period for each radiology and cardiology system (all between June 1, 2022, and November 28, 2022) and for the 2-week period from July 31, 2023, to August 13, 2023, for each urology system. Power statuses, procedure time stamps, and fluoroscopy times were extracted from various sources. System activity was divided into off, idle (no patient in room), active (patient in room for procedure), and net-imaging (active fluoroscopic image acquisition) states. Projected annual energy consumption was calculated. Potential annual savings in carbon emissions and electricity costs through hypothetical operational adjustments were estimated using published values for Switzerland. RESULTS. Across the seven systems, the mean power draw was 0.3-1.1, 0.7-7.4, 0.9-7.6, and 1.9-12.5 kW in the off, idle, active, and net-imaging states, respectively. Across systems, the off state, in comparison with the idle state, showed a decrease in the mean power draw of 0.2-6.9 kW (relative decrease, 22.2-93.2%). The systems had a combined projected annual energy consumption of 115,684 kWh (range, 3646-26,576 kWh per system). The systems' combined projected energy consumption occurring outside the net-imaging state accounted for 93.3% (107,978/115,684 kWh) of projected total energy consumption (range, 89.2-99.4% per system). A hypothetical operational adjustment whereby all systems would be switched from the idle state to the off state overnight and on weekends (versus being operated in idle mode 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) would yield the following potential annual savings: for energy consumption, 144,640 kWh; for carbon emissions, 18.6 metric tons of CO
2 equivalent; and for electricity costs, US$37,896. CONCLUSION. Interventional imaging systems are energy intensive, having high consumption outside of image acquisition periods. CLINICAL IMPACT. Strategic operational adjustments (e.g., powering down idle systems) can substantially decrease the carbon emissions and electricity costs of interventional imaging systems.- Published
