    2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation
    (Elsevier, 2024) Joglar, José A.; Chung, Mina K.; Armbruster, Anastasia L.; Benjamin, Emelia J.; Chyou, Janice Y.; Cronin, Edmond M.; Deswal, Anita; Eckhardt, Lee L.; Goldberger, Zachary D.; Gopinathannair, Rakesh; Gorenek, Bulent; Hess, Paul L.; Hlatky, Mark; Hogan, Gail; Ibeh, Chinwe; Indik, Julia H.; Kido, Kazuhiko; Kusumoto, Fred; Link, Mark S.; Linta, Kathleen T.; Marcus, Gregory M.; McCarthy, Patrick M.; Patel, Nimesh; Patton, Kristen K.; Perez, Marco V.; Piccini, Jonathan P.; Russo, Andrea M.; Sanders, Prashanthan; Streur, Megan M.; Thomas, Kevin L.; Times, Sabrina; Tisdale, James E.; Valente, Anne Marie; Van Wagoner, David R.; Pharmacology and Toxicology, School of Medicine
    Aim: The "2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation" provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted from May 12, 2022, to November 3, 2022, encompassing studies, reviews, and other evidence conducted on human subjects that were published in English from PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and other selected databases relevant to this guideline. Additional relevant studies, published through November 2022, during the guideline writing process, were also considered by the writing committee and added to the evidence tables, where appropriate. Structure: Atrial fibrillation is the most sustained common arrhythmia, and its incidence and prevalence are increasing in the United States and globally. Recommendations from the "2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation" and the "2019 AHA/ACC/HRS Focused Update of the 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation" have been updated with new evidence to guide clinicians. In addition, new recommendations addressing atrial fibrillation and thromboembolic risk assessment, anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion, atrial fibrillation catheter or surgical ablation, and risk factor modification and atrial fibrillation prevention have been developed.

    International Criteria for Electrocardiographic Interpretation in Athletes
    (Elsevier, 2017-02) Sharma, Sanjay; Drezner, Jonathan A.; Baggish, Aaron; Papadakis, Michael; Wilson, Mathew G.; Prutkin, Jordan M.; La Gerche, Andre; Ackerman, Michael J.; Borjesson, Mats; Salerno, Jack C.; Asif, Irfan M.; Owens, David S.; Chung, Eugene H.; Emery, Michael S.; Froelicher, Victor F.; Heidbuchel, Hein; Adamuz, Carmen; Asplund, Chad A.; Cohen, Gordon; Harmon, Kimberly G.; Marek, Joseph C.; Molossi, Silvana; Niebauer, Josef; Pelto, Hank F.; Perez, Marco V.; Riding, Nathan R.; Saarel, Tess; Schmied, Christian M.; Shipon, David M.; Stein, Ricardo; Vetter, Victoria L.; Pelliccia, Antonio; Corrado, Domenico; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of mortality in athletes during sport. A variety of mostly hereditary, structural, or electrical cardiac disorders are associated with SCD in young athletes, the majority of which can be identified or suggested by abnormalities on a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Whether used for diagnostic or screening purposes, physicians responsible for the cardiovascular care of athletes should be knowledgeable and competent in ECG interpretation in athletes. However, in most countries a shortage of physician expertise limits wider application of the ECG in the care of the athlete. A critical need exists for physician education in modern ECG interpretation that distinguishes normal physiological adaptations in athletes from distinctly abnormal findings suggestive of underlying pathology. Since the original 2010 European Society of Cardiology recommendations for ECG interpretation in athletes, ECG standards have evolved quickly over the last decade; pushed by a growing body of scientific data that both tests proposed criteria sets and establishes new evidence to guide refinements. On February 26-27, 2015, an international group of experts in sports cardiology, inherited cardiac disease, and sports medicine convened in Seattle, Washington, to update contemporary standards for ECG interpretation in athletes. The objective of the meeting was to define and revise ECG interpretation standards based on new and emerging research and to develop a clear guide to the proper evaluation of ECG abnormalities in athletes. This statement represents an international consensus for ECG interpretation in athletes and provides expert opinion-based recommendations linking specific ECG abnormalities and the secondary evaluation for conditions associated with SCD.
