Focusing on atrial fibrillation (AFib) research: epidemiology, prevention, treatment, outcomes

[JAHA @JAHA_AHA]

Atrial fibrillation incidence has been stable for 3 decades, with no differences in trends by race, sex, or age #ARIC @alonso_epi @EmoryRollins

[AFib Emory @AFib_Emory]

Thirty-year trends in the incidence of #afib in the ARIC study, just published in @JAHA_AHA https://t.co/d6TnmMjO8A

[AFib Emory @AFib_Emory]

Just published in @CircAHA, a fantastic review on the link between #AFib and #dementia, providing directions for further research on the area https://t.co/hyI6RfaDe5

Now in @JAMA_current: New USPTF statement on #Afib screening: evidence still insufficient to recommend it to the general population https://t.co/kXxfC3wIFb

[AFib Emory @AFib_Emory]

Systematic review: #exercise has a beneficial role as an adjuvant treatment of #afib

[AFib Emory @AFib_Emory]

No differences in mortality and heart failure risk between screen-detected and clinically-detected #afib https://t.co/yiefgnHKJh

[AFib Emory @AFib_Emory]

In older adults with #afib, apixaban was associated with lower risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic events than rivaroxaban https://t.co/MMsrL9lyr2

CABANA trial: Catheter ablation no better than drug therapy in #afib patients 75 and older https://t.co/Fd5BdUupO8

[AFib Emory @AFib_Emory]

New from our @EmoryRollins group: #diabetes associated with increased risk of #dementia in patients with #afib

[AFib Emory @AFib_Emory]

New review on racial and ethnic considerations in patients with #AFib just published in @JACCJournals https://t.co/qk6lIOz7pB

[HCPLive Endocrinology @endocrinenetwrk]

New data from SWISS-AF suggests patients with diabetes were about 26% less likely to notice symptoms of aFib and more likely to experience more comorbidities than their counterparts without diabetes.

Predicting #afib #ablation success? @DrJasonAndrade found M-HATCH best👇but sens/spec only 54%/70% (AUC 0.62) https://t.co/NUhMOv5cIU

Must do better! #personalized AF with #AI #MRI #mapping #computational... @julieshade2 @NTrayanova @TinaBaykaner @EP_mom1 @anantm @DrSEWilliams

[UCSF Health @UCSFHospitals]

“We found no evidence of a near-term relationship between caffeine consumption & atrial fibrillation," Dr. @gregorymmarcus says of a UCSF study on possible triggers of #afib. "In contrast, alcohol consumption most consistently exhibited heightened risks."

New study of three cohorts with continuous monitoring shows distribution of #afib burden consistently skewed towards the extremes without an even, linear distribution or progression.

New in @CircEP: underrepresentation of ethnic and racial minorities in #afib clinical trials--a threat to generalizability of trial results https://t.co/90TwPlUcKT

Meta-analysis: after cryptogenic #stroke, implantable loop recorders had better #afib-detection yield than usual care, but were not associated with better outcomes

[AFib Emory @AFib_Emory]

New study in @CircAHA shows #AI-based analysis of 12-lead #ECG has similar predictive utility to a clinical risk factor model for incident #AFib and both approaches are complementary.
