The quest to determine whether plant-based diets surpass omnivorous diets in their heart healthfulness has been ongoing for decades, yielding inconclusive results despite dedicated research endeavors. The throng of epidemiological evidence hasn’t helped either — one week “butter is back” and the next, red meat is giving us diabetes.

Red-cell transfusion is one of the most commonly performed medical procedures. It is also one of the most overused medical procedures, which largely neglects the associated risks, costs, and sustainability of liberal transfusion practices. In 1999, Hébert and colleagues published their findings from the landmark Transfusion Requirements in Critical Care.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in the United States, affecting approximately 15% to 30% of the general population (1). Catheter ablation for AF is safe, and it is associated with better clinical outcomes as compared to medical therapy (2). However, there is limited data on clinical outcomes of patients with NAFLD undergoing catheter ablation for AF.

The role of colchicine for the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following cardiothoracic surgery is not well-established. We aimed to evaluate its potential in preventing POAF using data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A literature search was performed to identify studies reporting POAF as an outcome after cardiac or thoracic surgery in adult patients randomized to either colchicine or placebo.

In patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), measured electrical impedance following implant provides important information about the resistance of the defibrillation circuit, which, if abnormal, may indicate suboptimal device placement.1 High voltage impedance (HVI) measurement is recommended at subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) implantation via 65J defibrillation testing (DFT).
