Why can't you use direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with mechanical valves (MVs)?

DOACs have been one of the most important advances in my career. And yet, the presence of a MV is one of the few contraindications.

The reason highlights the unique nature of thrombus formation in those with a MV and provides insights into the evolution of human hemostasis.

After cardioversion, drinking an average of one cup of coffee per day *decreased* the recurrence of atrial fibrillation and flutter!

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

📊 Research Summary: Adults with #AFib who drank at least one cup of caffeinated coffee daily after successful cardioversion had a lower risk of recurrence than those who abstained from coffee and caffeine.

Pseudo-Mobitz type II block ❗
Everything depends on the timing when the junctional escape fires and the sinus rate.
Quote: "Thus, when all the PR intervals remain constant, Mobitz type II block maybe diagnosed erroneously if sinus slowing is ignored."

The risk of progression to persistent AFib at 3 years is reduced by almost 7-fold in patients with paroxysmal AFib treated using catheter ablation compared with patients treated using anti-arrhythmic medical therapy. https://t.co/f8GntGewpp

What explains the pacing spikes?

[Samantha Sublette MD @Flutter_MD]

In patients undergoing #AtrialFibrillation ablation, lifestyle modification resulted in improved freedom from atrial fibrillation.
