☺️ Our interactive, successful and fun #KickoffMeeting in #Amsterdam was wrapped up with elections of important advisory boards and a motivating conclusion by Paulus Kirchhof & Christiana Krammer. Let’s get to work! 💪 #AFib #AtrialFibrillation #AFBurden #cardiosky #HeartHealth

Goals of Work Package 1: 📣 Effective #ScienceCommunication, transparency & #OpenAccess dissemination of results 🧑‍🎓 Training & #mentoring of early-career scientists ⚖️ Gender equity 🚀 Exploitation, impact, and global #HeartHealth improvement @danielsteven_ep (WP1 lead)

👉 WP5 measures the effects of #AFBurden on broad outcomes (#cognition, #HeartFailure, PROMS, PREMS, #QoL)🫀 👉 WP8 identifies predictors of no/low vs. intermediate vs. high #AFBurden in patients & viable pathways for targeted #HeartRhythm monitoring⌚️ #AFib #AtrialFibrillation

👉 WP8 - Predictors of no/low, intermediate, and high #AFBurden in patients: Pathways for targeted #HeartRhythm monitoring - led by @Barbara_Casadei from @imperialcollege London (presented by @DrFuSiongNg at the Kick-off Meeting in Amsterdam)🫀🩺⚡️ #AF #AFib #AtrialFibrillation

🫀 Work package (WP) 6 leader, @NinaBecher8 from @UKEHamburg pointed out that #AFib assessment differs substantially across #CIEDs (pacemakers, #ICDs, implantable loop recorders)! WP6 = Standards for #AtrialFibrillation burden reporting by cardiac #implantable electronic devices

⏳ Early interaction 📆 with the European Medicines Agency #EMA is key for proper exploitation + real-life regulatory impact of our #IHI-funded project, based on advice from project leader Mirko de Melis & Acesion Pharma consortium members #AF #AtrialFibrillation #AFib #AFBurden

AF-B-STEP Kick-Off Meeting: Day 1 🌆✨🌃 concluded with some much needed socialising during a boat tour and dinner – the perfect setting for continued networking and exchanging ideas 🍷🍝 Excited for Day 2 and keeping this momentum! #AtrialFibrillation #AFburden #HeartHealth
