Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common significant cardiac rhythm disorder and is a powerful common risk factor for stroke. Randomized trials have demonstrated that anticoagulation can reduce the risk of stroke in patients with AF.

Anticoagulants are the standard therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and antiplatelet therapy for those with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, compelling clinical evidence is still lacking regarding the long-term maintenance strategy with the combination of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs in patients with AF and stable CAD.

Atrial fibrillation (AF)-associated embolic stroke is preventable, and AF detection may help to prevent stroke in subjects with paroxysmal AF. We aimed to evaluate the AF detection performance of smartwatch photoplethysmography (PPG) and the feasibility of ambulatory monitoring for AF detection in the daily life.

There are a limited number of donor hearts available for transplantation every year, and an even lower number of these hearts actually undergo transplantation. One of the barriers to utilizing donor hearts is the inferior outcomes associated with prolonged ischemic times.

Despite continuous improvements in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), periprocedural strokes remain a devastating complication. Randomized controlled trials failed to demonstrate a reduction in clinically apparent strokes or mortality after TAVI due to cerebral embolic protection (CEP).
