 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle explores stroke and bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation and a CHA2DS2-VASC risk score of 1. He then discusses the important key points to remember in the recently released 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation. Finally, Dr. Eagle examines the potential value of using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin as a cardiac biomarker to predict preeclampsia.         Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View

 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at transcatheter-based intervention for tetraology of Fallot. He then examines how a small left ventricle in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on an aspirin-free strategy for immediate treatment following complex percutaneous coronary intervention.    Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View
