OBJECTIVES: This study sought to characterize cognitive decline (CD) over time and its predictors in patients with systolic heart failure (HF).

BACKGROUND: Despite the high prevalence of CD and its impact on mortality, predictors of CD in HF have not been established.

METHODS: This study investigated CD in the WARCEF (Warfarin versus Aspirin in Reduced Ejection Fraction) trial, which performed yearly Mini-Mental State Examinations (MMSE) (higher scores indicate better cognitive function; e.g., normal score: 24 or higher). A longitudinal time-varying analysis was performed among pertinent covariates, including baseline MMSE and MMSE scores during follow-up, analyzed both as a continuous variable …

Concomitant Presentation With Cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke And Non St Elevation Myocardial Infarction In A Patient With New Onset Atrial Fibrillation, Amogh M. Joshi Do, Emilee E. Kurtz Do, Kourtney Erickson Do, Margaret R. Kluck Do, Benjamin Sanchez Md

Department of Medicine

Introduction: Although Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common cause of ischemic stroke, it rarely causes acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Cardioembolic events from AF cause considerable morbidity and mortality. Concomitant ischemic stroke and ACS remains an exceedingly rare event. We describe the case of a patient presenting with cardioembolic ischemic stroke and acute coronary syndrome.

Case Presentation: An 83 year old male with a prior history of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, permanent pacemaker for complete heart block, and chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis presented with acute left sided facial and extremity weakness, gait ataxia and profound dysarthria. Physical examination …

Convergent Ablation For The Treatment Of Long Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation - A Single Center Experience, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari, Lohit Garg Md, Nikhil A. Mehta Md, James R. Kimber, Hiwot Ayele, James K. Wu Md, Babak Bozorgnia Md

Department of Medicine

Introduction: The treatment of long standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is very challenging and conventional catheter ablation strategies have provided only modest success. They often require multiple procedures and anti-arrhythmics to maintain sinus rhythm. The convergent ablation procedure is a hybrid approach, involving a minimally invasive epicardial ablation combined with a traditional transvenous endocardial ablation.

Hypothesis: Convergent ablation is an overall safe and effective procedure for the treatment of long standing persistent AF.

Methods: From February 2015 to September 2017, 30 patient (20 males) with long standing persistent AF underwent convergent ablation at a large tertiary care center. Rest of …
