Our work out today in @AnnalsofIM shows the importance of systematic follow up for patients with so-called “secondary” or “peri-operative” #AtrialFibrillation. 1 in 3 will have AF recurrence when assessed with 14 day Holter @McMasterU @PHRIresearch
Patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation during hospitalization face a surprising 1 in 3 risk of AF recurrence within 1 year, according to a new study. Findings highlight importance of vigilant monitoring and care. https://t.co/s5sSDLUzaE

For a patient with new-onset trigger-associated #AF, how long do you need to monitor them in follow-up to find recurrent AF? Check out our open-access paper in @EJIM_journal

Very proud to have been part of this project. A very practical application of AI that should ultimately make diagnostics ambulatory ECG more accessible to patients.
Everyone with an interest in AI, ECGs, or cardiology should read our paper out in Nature Medicine today! The DRAI MARTINI study tested the performance of DeepRhythmAI from #MEDICALgorithmics for direct-to-physician reporting of ambulatory ECGs. The results overwhelmingly favour

From @Artesia_RCT at #HRS2024 and in @JACCJournals: Device-detected subclinical + CHA2DS2-VASc score >4: stroke risk 2.2%/yr. Clear benefit to OAC with apixaban No benefit with CHA2DS2-VASc score <4. Grey zone at CHA2DS2-VASc =4. @PHRIresearch @DCRINews

Important new data from @Artesia_RCT presented by stroke neurologist @Ash_Shoamanesh at #ESOC2024. Pts with prior stroke and device-detected subclinical #AF have high stroke risk and get a large stroke-reduction benefit from apixaban @PHRIresearch

I am grateful to the @ACCinTouch and the @SCC_CCS for the opportunity to attend the ACC Wael El Mahmeed Global Leadership Institute this week in Washington DC. I learned a lot and met a lot of great people from around the world.

The results of B-Free are out! What's the bottom line? In ITT restricting intraoperative benzodiazepines did not (by a hair) reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium (aOR 0.92; 95% CI 0.84-1.01; P=0.07). HOWEVER...

Today I really enjoyed meeting, philosophizing and chatting with the @drjohnm. We’ve done it a few times before digitally but never in person. Thanks to @EHRAPresident #EHRA2024 for providing a great forum for the exchange of ideas.

1 in 3 pts with new-onset post-operative #AF after Cardiac Surgery will have AF recurrence within 1 yr of surgery, if monitored with an implantable loop recorder. What this means for the long-term management of these patients is unclear. New in @IJCardio

I am excited to present the 1st sub study from the @Artesia_RCT at #EHRA2024 on Apr 9 in Berlin: Risk of stroke or systemic embolism according to baseline frequency and duration of subclinical #atrialfibrillation. What might SCAF pattern mean for clinical decision making?
