Having a blast at the #ESCPrev2024 in Athens. Great presentation on cross-sectional associations between accelerometry derived physical activity and #AF by associate prof. @KimAHeitmann - as little as 15 mins of daily MVPA has a protective effect

[Kim Arne Heitmann @KimAHeitmann]

Great presentation by colleague @KristofferRJ89, presenting novel data showing that athletes with atrial fibrillation have lower mortality risk compared with the general population. #ESCprevent2024 @UiTNorgesarktis

A tweetorial on our latest paper, led by @EsmeeBakker__ , now published @BJSM_BMJ 🎉 .

We assessed #acute and #long-term #mortality risks among #participants in mass-participation #sporting #events.

Women display a lower risk of MI than men with higher eCRF! Two takes:
1) there is a substantial potential for lowering CHD/CVDin increasing CRF in the population
2) this can be done by monitoring estimated CRF -> implement it in medical care 🚑🩺❤️

Fresh from press in @BJSM_BMJ :
High occupational PA with walking + lifting was associated with lower mortality, but not heavy manual labour 🤷‍♂️ 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️⚒️🪚

~22 min per day MVPA (= @WHO’ 150min per week) elimantes the higher risk of death from sed time, and higher MVPA is assocaited with lower risk regardless of sed time 🥇🚶🏃‍♂️🕺

Noen refleksjoner om livet som stipendiat

[UiT Norges arktiske universitet @UiTNorgesarktis]

Dersom ein er i mykje fysisk aktivitet, men ikkje nokon idrettsutøvar, kan ein likevel sjå at hjarta endrar seg. Det er konklusjonen i @KimAHeitmann si avhandling, som tek utgangspunkt i Tromsøundersøkelsen❣️https://t.co/dxm2Pv2LcA #tromsoundersøkelsen

[Kim Arne Heitmann @KimAHeitmann]

@pselmer Tusen takk! Ikke lenge til du skal i ilden heller nå 😊 Her har du lenke: https://t.co/eyBwijX8Hr

Kan sende med papirversjon til afib-samlinga, om du heller foretrekker det 😉

[Kim Arne Heitmann @KimAHeitmann]

The PhD-thesis is finally defended! 🎈I really enjoyed the great discussions with the committee @tiina_ikaheimo @trygve_berge Kasper Andersen

Big thanks for outstanding supervision during the whole journey @MorsethBente @majalisalochen1 @BoyeWelde

Risk of atrial fibrillation and stroke among older men exposed to prolonged endurance sport practice: a 10-year follow-up @KristofferRJ89

[Kim Arne Heitmann @KimAHeitmann]

Submitted my PhD thesis today🎈Excited for the evaluation committee’s assessment! Thanx to @MorsethBente @majalisalochen1 @BoyeWelde for excellent supervision! #phdlife

[Kristoffer Robin Johansen @KristofferRJ89]

Proud to announce that the first paper of my PhD has been published. We prospectively examined the risk of AF and stroke associated with (very) long-term exposure to endurance sport practice in older men.

Great couple of days at Lysebu attending the Norwegian Atrial Fibrillation Research meeting and seeing all of the #nexaf project collaborators again

Vi tvinger alle som skal hente ut resepter å dra på apoteket. Der setter vi kompetent helsepersonell i form av farmasøyter.

Så hvorfor i alle dager tillater vi apotekene å selge så mye bullshit? #

Jeg har skrevet kronikk om apotekene rolle i Norge:

We have explored associations between physical activity, left atrial enlargement and risk of atrial fibrillation:
