Patient-reported outcome measures in cardiovascular disease

Ran Kornowski

Summary: In today's medical ecosystem, measuring the outcomes most important to patients is crucial. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) can serve as essential metrics for delivering high-quality cardiovascular care, but a lack of standardization makes it challenging to compare outcomes across treatments. By leveraging information technology, sophisticated data analysis using patient-derived data and randomization can generate impactful metrics to inform decision-making.

Examining racial disparities in the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment

Andrew M. Kiselica et al.

Summary: Black individuals are more likely to be overdiagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) while White individuals are more likely to be underdiagnosed. The use of neuropsychological test data and actuarial approaches may help reduce racial disparities in the diagnosis of MCI, but issues related to race-based norming and differential symptom presentations complicate interpretation of the results.

MRI-Detected Brain Lesions and Cognitive Function in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Left Atrial Catheter Ablation in the Randomized AXAFA-AFNET 5 Trial

Karl Georg Hausler et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of apixaban on brain damage in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after ablation. The study found a high incidence of acute brain lesions in patients treated with apixaban or vitamin K antagonist after ablation, but they were not associated with cognitive function. However, chronic white matter damage was associated with cognitive function before and after ablation, especially with age. This suggests that uninterrupted oral anticoagulation during AF ablation is safe.

Andreas Metzner et al.

Summary: Treatment patterns were compared between randomized groups in EAST-AFNET 4 to assess potential explanations for the clinical benefit achieved with early rhythm control. The study found that the type of rhythm control varied by country and center, with more antiarrhythmic drugs and AF ablation used in the early therapy group. However, there was no significant difference in the treatment of concomitant conditions between groups.

Summary: The study analyzed the accuracy of LGE-MRI in identifying the arrhythmogenic substrate in the left atrium, showing that areas with higher LGE exhibit lower voltage and slower conduction. Furthermore, in patients with dilated atria (LA diameter >= 45), the predictive capacity of LGE-MRI for conduction velocity may be weaker.

Non-Invasive and Quantitative Estimation of Left Atrial Fibrosis Based on P Waves of the 12-Lead ECG-A Large-Scale Computational Study Covering Anatomical Variability

Claudia Nagel et al.

Summary: The arrhythmogenesis of atrial fibrillation is linked to fibrotic atrial tissue, with altered morphology of the P wave in the 12-lead ECG reflecting physiological anatomical variability of the atria and thorax. By simulating various anatomical properties, a neural network was able to estimate the volume fraction of atrial fibrosis with high accuracy, suggesting potential for non-invasive detection of atrial fibrotic cardiomyopathy.

Summary: This article summarizes the outcomes of the 7th Consensus Conference of the Atrial Fibrillation NETwork (AFNET) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), focusing on key issues in AF prevention, management, and future research to improve care for patients with AF and prevent AF-related complications. The discussions among international AF specialists highlighted the importance of understanding dynamic risk profiles in AF patients, utilizing deeply phenotyped datasets for better insights, and proposing new algorithms and strategies for acute management, stroke risk assessment, anticoagulation use, and rhythm control therapy selection. The conclusion emphasizes the need for better characterization of morbidity and mortality in patients with AF, with a focus on addressing AF burden and concomitant conditions for stratified therapy.
