2026 HRS/EHRA Scientific Statement on Pulsed Field Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-…

#WhyCMR by LGE in sarcoidosis, new precision in prognosis? Large #UK cohort of biopsy-proven cardiac sarcoidosis finds that LGE extent was an independent predictor of VAs or device therapy. #JACCIMG offers a novel approach to arrhythmic risk stratification jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

What defines an AFib Center of Excellence? HRS lays it out in a new consensus statement: “Criteria for the Establishment of Atrial Fibrillation Centers of Excellence.” Chaired by Drs. @TJaredBunch and @deering_f, this multidisciplinary effort offers a checklist of criteria that care teams can strive for to elevate their AFib care.

Huge honour to speak at the Inaugural Professorial Lecture by Prof @martinkstiles Made it with 2 minutes to spare travelling back from #EHRA2025 Prof Stiles was my very first PhD student and EP fellow @UniofAdelaide #ProudMentor #CHRD Congratulations Martin - outstanding journey with so much more to come @HRSonline @APHRSOfficial @thecsanz

This is another huge takeaway from the OPTION trial: how low the incidence of stroke is post modern AF ablation. The CHADSVA tool is meaningless in this cohort, where AF burden has been substantially reduced with ablation

The long-term incidence of stroke in AF is low, especially after ablation of paroxysmals. Stroke scores are from another era and were not developed or validated in this population: CHADSVASC was derived from 20-year old data with ONE YEAR of follow-up. The treatment effect of statins, BP control, and reduced risk of HF may be contributing more to fewer strokes in AF. Recent AF screening trials have all shown stroke event rates lower than historical. We need a clever and cautious way to redefine risk stroke in contemporary AF patients before assuming that the historical reduction is all from therapy. #AHA24

Congratulations to @RivardLena on the @AHAScience presentation of the BRAIN-AF study results. Major observation is that cognitive decline occurs in many « low risk » AF patients. Unfortunately, Rivaroxaban 15 mg daily did not impact this risk in this double-dummy RCT.

How to improve knowledge translation and clinical care? Thanks for sharing insights that impact 🫀 health and patient care, @Rajiv_EP @UniofAdelaide @BethanyGower @UniversitySA Dr Chris Delaney & @KacieDickinson @Flinders #sacvrnshowcase2024

Untreated atrial fibrillation raises risks of dementia, heart failure & stroke—25% occur before diagnosis. ⚠️Don’t let a stroke be your first sign of AF. Watch @hearts4heart’s video to learn about AF symptoms and visit herts4heart.org.au/event/atrial-f… #hearts4heart #atrialfibrillation

Great interview @martinkstiles. Thank you for your advocacy Dr Martin Stiles on health targets rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

We looked at this is AFFIRM & AF-CHF almost 10 years ago HR affects prognosis differently in AF vs sinus. In sinus more related to mortality. In af more related to hospitalisation In AF - lower HR wasn’t better. heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-…
