Lessons from one of the first [and the largest] randomized trials of AI in medicine @NatureMedicine
A trial of >100,000 women undergoing mammography with or without AI support for interpretation, by Kristina Lång @lunduniversity
Most importantly, can it [AI] improve patient outcomes?

For me SHAM-PVI-AF means, that a cardioversion makes sense in patients on the waiting list for PVI, as it controls symptoms for up to 6 months.
Didn’t we know this before?!
👉🏻Not “PVI vs sham,” but “PVI vs an effective rhythm-control strategy such as ECV” study on the short term effects on symptoms/QoL

Even I was shocked at the negative results of SHAM-PVI-AF. Question everything my friends. Wow. Wow. Double wow.
My quick thoughts: medscape.com/viewarticle/doe…#esccongress
Agree. Binary freedom from 30 seconds of recurrent AF is a terrible endpoint. Particularly when patients have more advanced disease.
Imagine if the coronary stent trials had a Kaplan Meier curve for first episode of chest discomfort post stent.
Or if the hypertension trials evaluated time to first systolic BP > 140 mmHg
Hi everyone
If you got a message from me asking you to vote for me to host a podcast it’s a phishing scam from when my account was hacked. Delete it and set account security. Sorry!
This is the question of the future for monitoring to detect AF:
How certain am I that the patient doesn’t have an actionable AF burden?
Not: does the patient have AF?
I've had my account hacked for the past week, resulting in a boost in productivity from reduced scrolling, and also a brief stint as a Maye Musk impersonator. And maybe some phishing attempts or nuisance messages to some of the people I know? Sorry!
It was great to present our latest study #EHRA2026 in Paris for the Young Investigator Award. We ran one of the largest comparative safety analyses of #PFA vs radiofrequency #ablation for #AF, performed @BIDMChealth. We found a significantly higher stroke risk with PFA. Read on👇

I have a general skepticism for a lot of charity. Does it really do good? But this project is run by @sanjeevpb and seems just fantastic. Check it out and consider making a small donation
How would you choose to spend 31 million days of ECG?
Smartwatches can easily generate this amount of monitoring need - check out our perspective out today: rdcu.be/eSeYc
⚡️Smartwatch sensitivity for AF is unknown
⚡️Downstream effects on healthcare systems are unknown

The sun is rising in New Orleans, on the first day of AHA 2025!
Tomorrow we show data from the DRAI MARTINI study that answers whether the superior sensitivity of DeepRhythmAI for arrhythmia detection leads to relevant diagnoses or just a mess of incidental findings?
Very proud on behalf of the whole study team that this abstract also won the Paul Dudley White Award for Norway.
Clinical Science Zone 2, 9.55 in the session "Harnessing AI: Innovations in Arrhythmia Detection and Management". Hope to see you there!
