Emergency Departments Aren’t Trained for Long COVID—and Patients Are Paying the Price
Emergency clinicians are trained to handle acute medical situations, but many lack a basic understanding of Long COVID and related diseases.
Bottom line: This paper strengthens the evidence that COVID can have lasting cardiovascular consequences, and that heart-related symptoms are a common and clinically important part of Long COVID, not rare or incidental. https://bit.ly/HeartLongCOVID

Your Health Is Your Most Valuable Asset — Are You Actually Protecting It?
Your Health Is Your Most Valuable Asset — Are You Actually Protecting It? Your health determines almost everything about the life you get to live — yet how much time do we actually spend protecting it? Today on The Karel Cast, we look at what you can do every day to improve your odds of living a longer, healthier life: exercise, diet, daily habits, preventive care and the medical advances changing how doctors treat disease. We also take a closer look at a procedure more people are hearing about: cardiac ablation. Keith Olbermann and Lionel Richie have both publicly discussed undergoing ablations. But what exactly is an ablation? Why is it performed? What heart rhythm problems can it treat, and who might actually need one? Then we turn to Washington and President Donald Trump’s appearance at the United Nations General Assembly. Trump addressed world leaders Tuesday while his administration remains locked in an escalating dispute with CNN, MS NOW and Politico over White House press access. The three organizations are challenging the ban in federal court, while CNN was still able to cover Trump at the U.N. using credentials issued independently by the United Nations. We’ll talk about what happened at the U.N., the continuing battle over presidential press access, and what happens when attempts to restrict news coverage end up becoming part of the story themselves. Your body is the one home you never get to move out of. So what are you doing today to protect it?

Anticoagulant Strategies in Atrial Fibrillation and Chronic Kidney Disease: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Practice
Atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently coexist, increasing thromboembolic and bleeding risks. This is a narrative review of pathophysiology and clinical evidence for anticoagulation strategies in CKD patients. Direct oral anticoagulants are preferred in CKD stages 1–4. Recent data suggest that the efficacy of apixaban and rivaroxaban is comparable to that of warfarin in end-stage renal disease. In advanced CKD, anticoagulation should be tailored with close monitoring.

Restoring the Rhythm: Atrial Fibrillation Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
Effective atrial fibrillation management requires rate or rhythm control, anticoagulation based on risk scores, and lifestyle changes.
