This document discusses atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart condition where the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly. It notes that AF is increasing in prevalence but is often asymptomatic. The document reviews data showing that AF significantly increases the risks of stroke, heart failure, and death. While treatments exist, the document indicates that prevention is possible and there remain challenges to optimizing prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for AF.
1) Sexual activity can generally be resumed safely after an acute myocardial infarction (MI) for patients at low risk, with clearance from a cardiologist for those at intermediate or high risk.
2) Sexual intercourse requires a moderate physical exertion equivalent to 2-4 metabolic equivalents, which causes a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
3) Erectile dysfunction is common after an MI but can often be treated safely with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors like sildenafil, though their use requires caution with nitrates which are contraindicated.

This document summarizes the risk of thrombosis/deep vein thrombosis (DVT) associated with multiple myeloma and its treatments. It finds that the risk of DVT is increased by certain drugs like thalidomide, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone, especially when combined with chemotherapy. Studies show aspirin, low molecular weight heparin, and warfarin can effectively prevent DVT when used as prophylaxis, with aspirin and heparin posing a lower bleeding risk than warfarin. A phase III trial compared aspirin, low dose warfarin, and low molecular weight heparin for DVT prevention in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients on thalidomide-containing regimens
Sexual activity is an important component of quality of life and thus is of great concern for both patients with heart disease and their physicians. Cardiac patients are often fearful of triggering myocardial infarction (MI) during intercourse and may therefore have sex less frequently.

- Use of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibition for appropriate patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
- Use of cardiac resynchronization therapy for patients meeting guideline criteria
- Optimization of medical therapy for heart failure in the hospitalized patient prior to discharge

Eplerenone, a selective aldosterone blocker, inSalman Ahmed
This document summarizes a clinical trial that evaluated the effect of the selective aldosterone blocker eplerenone in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction. The trial involved over 6,600 patients who received either eplerenone or a placebo in addition to optimal medical therapy. The results showed that eplerenone reduced all-cause mortality by 14.4% compared to 16.7% for placebo and reduced cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization. However, there was an increased risk of serious hyperkalemia with eplerenone. The study concluded that eplerenone improves outcomes for patients with left ventricular dysfunction after a myocardial infarction when added to maximal medical therapy.

Hypokalemia in Emergency Medicine is an article that discusses potassium levels in the body and defines hypokalemia as a potassium level below 3.5 mEq/L. It notes that nearly 98% of the body's potassium is intracellular and plays an important role in cellular membrane potential. Hypokalemia can result from renal or GI losses, inadequate diet, medications, or a transcellular shift of potassium into cells. As many as 20% of hospitalized patients and 14% of outpatients undergoing testing may have mild hypokalemia, though it is clinically significant in only 4-5% of cases. Approximately 80% of patients on diuretics become hypokalemic.

- The incidence and prevalence of PE increases dramatically with age. It also varies by gender and has been reported to be higher in both women and men in different studies and time periods.
- The introduction of CT pulmonary angiography led to an increase in the diagnosed incidence of PE as it allowed for improved detection, though this also led to overdiagnosis of smaller, non-clinical PEs.
- Hospital admissions for PE have increased in recent decades in the US according to
