AFib Emory

Systematic review: #exercise has a beneficial role as an adjuvant treatment of #afib sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

No differences in mortality and heart failure risk between screen-detected and clinically-detected #afib openheart.bmj.com/content/8/2/e0…

In older adults with #afib, apixaban was associated with lower risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic events than rivaroxaban jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

CABANA trial: Catheter ablation no better than drug therapy in #afib patients 75 and older ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

New from our @EmoryRollins group: #diabetes associated with increased risk of #dementia in patients with #afib ajconline.org/article/S0002-…

New review on racial and ethnic considerations in patients with #AFib just published in @JACCJournals sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New data from SWISS-AF suggests patients with diabetes were about 26% less likely to notice symptoms of aFib and more likely to experience more comorbidities than their counterparts without diabetes. endocrinologynetwork.com/view/patients-… #Afib #Diabetes

Predicting #afib #ablation success? @DrJasonAndrade found M-HATCH best👇but sens/spec only 54%/70% (AUC 0.62) ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… Must do better! #personalized AF with #AI #MRI #mapping #computational... @julieshade2 @NTrayanova @TinaBaykaner @EP_mom1 @anantm @DrSEWilliams

“We found no evidence of a near-term relationship between caffeine consumption & atrial fibrillation," Dr. @gregorymmarcus says of a UCSF study on possible triggers of #afib. "In contrast, alcohol consumption most consistently exhibited heightened risks." ucsfh.org/3xP1lzr

❔ What are the 14 biggest clinical challenges in treating #AFib? Course Director and CV Legend Dr. Valentin Fuster has the answers during #NYCVS 2021 in a few short weeks. Register now and check out the full agenda here: bit.ly/3kVc7zf @JACCJournals #CardioSmart #JACC

New study of three cohorts with continuous monitoring shows distribution of #afib burden consistently skewed towards the extremes without an even, linear distribution or progression. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New in @CircEP: underrepresentation of ethnic and racial minorities in #afib clinical trials--a threat to generalizability of trial results ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…

Meta-analysis: after cryptogenic #stroke, implantable loop recorders had better #afib-detection yield than usual care, but were not associated with better outcomes ajconline.org/article/S0002-…

New study in @CircAHA shows #AI-based analysis of 12-lead #ECG has similar predictive utility to a clinical risk factor model for incident #AFib and both approaches are complementary. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
