According to clinical studies, about a third of patients with atrial fibrillation will suffer a stroke during their lifetime. Between 70 and 90% of these strokes are caused by a thrombus formed in the left atrial appendage.
 
 
  KeysightCould Daylight Saving Time Increase Heart Attack Risk?
 
Although daylight saving time might seem like an excellent way to save energy, no study has demonstrated any clear outcomes. Actually, it has more adverse effects than advantages. Recent research works have underlined that clock changes elevate the risk of heart attacks. Minor sleep deprivation induced by this time shift results in circadian misalignment, which increases the heart attack risks by nearly 30%.

Although the occurrence of first-ever ischemic stroke (strokes due to a blood clot that blocks a blood vessel in the brain) at middle age has been decreasing over time, researchers have found that the decline is not as steep as seen in older adults.

Flash fire in patient's chest cavity during emergency heart surgeryAt this year's Euroanaesthesia Congress (the annual meeting of the European Society of Anaesthesiology) in Vienna, Austria (1-3 June), doctors present the unique case of a man who suffered a flash fire in his chest cavity during emergency heart surgery caused by supplemental oxygen leaking from a ruptured lung.
 
 
 New imaging method to identify patients with ischemic heart disease
 
New imaging method to identify patients with ischemic heart diseaseAn international team led by scientists from Lawson Health Research Institute and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are the first to show that Magnetic Resonance Imaging can be used to measure how the heart uses oxygen for both healthy patients and those with heart disease.
