“…Recent studies estimated the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in Saudi Arabia is 13.45% and 14.9%. 14,15 Hecht, in 1946, described one of the early use of ECG in antecubital catheter insertion on five subjects. 16 Hellerstein et al in 1949 looked into the reliability of P and QRS complex in catheter tip location compared to fluoroscopy.…”

Background We conducted this study to review our experience performing electrocardiography-guided peripherally inserted central catheter insertion in patients with atrial fibrillation. Material and Methods This is a retrospective study of PICC insertions performed by interventional radiology technologists using electrocardiogram guidance in patients with atrial fibrillation. The study included 99 PICCs inserted using electrocardiography guidance in 79 patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Chest X-ray is used to confirm tip position. Results We reviewed all PICCs inserted in patients with atrial fibrillation using electrocardiography guidance between September 2017 and June 2022. The review process included success and malposition rates using X-ray correlation. Ninety-four out of 99 PICCs were successfully inserted, and 5 cases required repositioning. Conclusion Our study suggests that electrocardiography navigation can be safely used for PICC insertion in patients with atrial fibrillation with high success rate.

BackgroundAn elevated risk of stroke is linked to atrial fibrillation (AF). Effective care and prevention measures for individuals with AF require an understanding of the factors impacting the incidence of stroke in this population. Evidence regarding the incidence of stroke among patients with AF is insufficient in Jordan. This study aimed to determine the incidence of stroke and its associated factors among patients with AF in Jordan.MethodsThe Jordan Atrial Fibrillation Registry JoFib was used to identify a total of 2020 AF patients meeting the study inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and the CHA2DS2-VASc score-based evaluation of stroke risk were extracted from the registry.ResultsThis study encompassed 2020 participants diagnosed with AF, with 925 (45.8%) being men and 1,095 (54.2%) women. The one-year stroke incidence among the 2020 AF patients was 3.4%. Notably, stroke incidence significantly increased with age (p = 0.04) and was associated with the history of stroke (7.4% vs. 2.7%), hypertension (3.9% vs. 1.9%), and diabetes (5.1% vs. 2.1%). In the multivariate analysis, diabetes (OR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.5–4.4, p = 0.001) and history of stroke (OR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.5–4.6, p = 0.001) were significantly associated with stroke incidence.ConclusionThis study emphasizes Jordan’s high stroke rate among AF patients. Diabetes and prior stroke history are associated with increased odds of stroke, like all stroke patients. These results highlight the necessity for specialized management strategies among AF patients and highlight the significance of thorough risk assessment and focused interventions to reduce stroke risk in AF patients.
