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. ow.ly/VGFG50PSwmZ #AtrialFibrillation #HeartHealth

Annoying hit that causes the infield to lose braincells? Ernie clement is there Go ahead ridiculous HR off a nearly unhittable pitch location? Ernie clement is there Platinum glove, cooperstown plays in the infield? Ernie clement is there Monster playoff performance off every Yankee pitcher? Ernie clement is there Sleep paralysis demons hovering over my chest? It’s Ernie clement Dying in a hospital bed when I’m old and sick? Ernie clement is the nurse Ernie clement today Ernie clement tomorrow Ernie clement forever

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 tinyurl.com/4cbcsscc

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.

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

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...

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 shorturl.at/fuzC0
