ObjectiveThe ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) is among the most common congenital cardiac anomalies diagnosed in adulthood. A known complication of transcatheter ASD closure is the development of new-onset atrial fibrillation and flutter (AFi/AFl). These arrhythmias confer an increased risk of postoperative stroke, thrombus formation and systemic emboli. This systematic review examines the burden of de novo AFi/AFl in adults following transcatheter closure and seeks to identify risk factors for AFi/AFl development.MethodsStudies were identified by a search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases from inception until 29 April 2020. A meta-analysis of AFi/AFl incidence was performed using a random-effects model.ResultsA total of 31 studies met inclusion criteria, comprising 4788 adult patients without a history of AFi/AFl. Twenty-three studies were included in quantitative synthesis and demonstrated an overall incidence rate of 1.82 patients per 100 person-years of follow-up (I2=83%). In studies that enrolled only patients ≥60 years old, the incidence was 5.21 patients per 100 person-years (I2=0%). Studies with follow-up duration ≤2 years reported an incidence of 4.05 per 100 person-years (I2=55%) compared with a rate of 1.19 per 100 person-years (I2=85%) for studies with follow-up duration >2 years.ConclusionsThe incidence of new-onset AFi/AFl is relatively low following transcatheter closure of secundum ASDs. The rate of de novo AFi/AFl, however, was significantly higher in elderly patients. Shorter follow-up time was associated with a higher reported incidence of AFi/AFl.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie Charakterisierung von calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) als Schlüsselmolekül in der Pathophysiologie der Migräne hat nicht nur unser Verständnis der Erkrankung, sondern auch die Entwicklung neuer Therapien vorangetrieben. Seit kurzem steht mit den monoklonalen Antikörpern gegen CGRP oder den CGRP-Rezeptor eine spezifische und hoch selektive Option für die medikamentöse Prophylaxe der episodischen und chronischen Migräne zur Verfügung, die in zahlreichen klinischen Studien ihre Überlegenheit gegenüber Placebo belegt hat. Hier werden Erfahrungen aus dem praktischen Behandlungsalltag zur kurz- und mittelfristigen Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit mitgeteilt und weitere Aspekte wie Therapiewechsel bei Non-Response, Verlauf nach Therapieende und die Frage des Wirkungsortes unter Einbeziehung bereits publizierter Daten angesprochen.
