Risk of stroke with reduced dose direct oral anticoagulants vs standard dose anticoagulation after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
There is consensus on the safety of standard dose direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for stroke prevention in patients undergoing cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), but outcomes of reduced dose DOACs in this setting remain unclear.

Temporal changes in device-derived daily activity related to ventricular arrhythmias from the CERTITUDE registry
There have been limited data examining the temporal relationship between device-derived
daily activity and ventricular arrhythmias (VAs).

Sudden arrhythmic death in patients with syncope and implantable cardiac monitor
In patients with unexplained syncope, an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) is an effective
tool to guide treatment decisions.1 If the ICM detects an arrhythmia associated with
