The patient underwent surgery, but suffered from a gastrointestinal bleed and developed post‐operative atrial fibrillation; after a risks/benefits discussion, he was discharged on anticoagulation only. Findings were most consistent with rotational occlusion of the left vertebral artery, which is also known as BHS.

Background Poor adherence to guideline recommendations for anticoagulation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and atrial fibrillation (AF) is previously reported. The primary outcome was the prescription rate of anticoagulation therapy at hospital discharge and follow-up through 2019.

Objectives Accurate prediction of heart failure (HF) patients at high risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) represents a potentially valuable tool to inform shared decision making. No validated prediction model for AF in HF is currently available. The objective was to develop clinical prediction models for 1-year risk of AF.

He was hypertensive and tachycardic, with mildly increased work of breathing. Chart review confirmed that he had been started on flecainide for atrial fibrillation. Flecainide slows the rate of conduction, sometimes causing an atrial rate of 200 bpm and therefore allowing 1:1 conduction with adverse results.
