Real-world study in kidney transplant recipients w/ #AFib: ➡️DOACs were associated w/ lower risk of the composite outcome (death/thromboembolism/major bleeding; HR 0.66) & kidney transplant rejection (HR 0.46) vs VKA🎯 🖇️tinyurl.com/58xsjrty @ESCStrokeChair @JacopoImberti

Environmental exposure belongs in CV risk prediction. Now in @SciReports , the #ePMyears Index — cumulative PM2.5 exposure — markedly improved ML-based CVD mortality prediction: AUC 0.88–0.91. doi.org/10.1038/s41598… @ESCStrokeChair @PolishSmog @UMB_Bialystok

Great news for @PolishSmog Our paper on light pollution and cardiovascular hospitalization in Poland received the 2nd Prize of the Polish Society of Internal Medicine. Congrats to @JemielitaPiotr and all co-authors! @ESCStrokeChair @LiverpoolCCS @UMB_Bialystok @pim_mswia
