Important overview of genetic testing in early-onset AF. @Gene_Doctor_ and co-leader of https://t.co/d8W0ygBSsi is thankful for being part of this brilliant review in EHJ

[Shino Kany @ShinoKany]

Have you ever considered genetic testing in pts with early-onset AF (<45 years) as an EP? Probably not, maybe you should.

In our recent state-of-the-art review @ehj_ed we discuss implementation of genetic testing in AF clincial care. #EPeeps #CardioTwitter.

We had a great time on April 18, talking afib research the whole evening with researchers from https://t.co/d8W0ygBSsi. Thanks to everyone for coming and making great discussions!

Had a great time with leading AF-researcher Michiel Rienstra from Groningen who visited our department at Bærum Hospital last week. Look forward to even closer collaboration @AfibNo

@MariamAnjumMD @ESC_Journals Supplemented by an insightful Editorial; is the grey zone becoming less grey? https://t.co/csFsnLBzdO

[Trygve Berge @trygve_berge]

NOW: Proud to present the results of @MariamAnjumMD and our AFNOR study in @ESC_Journals. Should AF patients at intermediate stroke risk (CHA2DS2-VASc score 1) be treated with OAC? https://t.co/NbrSfBsZTi

[Magnar Gangås Solberg @atrialstrain]

Congrats to @eivindso who brilliantly defended his thesis for the PhD today 🤩👏🫀@UniOslo_MED @VestreViken

[Ingrid Elisabeth Christophersen @Gene_Doctor_]

Proud of @mortenmattings2 presenting WGS data from the GENAF study at #AHA23 today! Deleterious TTN variants is associated with AF, has impact on the structure of mouse atria & regulation of genes related to myocardial stress. @AfibNo @IdaGLunde

The low number of female athletes is a main limitation. It isn't easy, but with commitment from researchers and targeted strategies, equal or at least much higher representation of women should be achievable! https://t.co/5XfsIacRHY @AfibNo

[Marius Myrstad @MariusMyrstad]

Does vigorous endurance exercise cause #Afib in women? Despite low prevalence of risk factors, we found a relatively high prevalence in older female athletes, suggesting exercise may promote #Afib also in women https://t.co/0pUd50gMKV @AfibNo

@kajsastraat @drjohnm @Jocasta_Ball @hakonkornstad Sorry for the typo! The best oral abstract award went to Dr. Melodié Schneider! In a close race with the other presenters 🤩

[afib.no - the Norwegian AF research network @AfibNo]

Thanks again for the wonderful https://t.co/d8W0ygBSsi 7th annual meeting at Lysebu in Oslo, Norway. The organizers (dr. Arnljot Tveit,@KFolkenborg & @Gene_Doctor_) are grateful for the contributions of our members and invited speakers! Recap from the inspiring sessions below 👇

[afib.no - the Norwegian AF research network @AfibNo]

The best oral abstract presentation award went to @kajsastraat; the best poster award went to dr. Jonatan Fernstad. The awards were presented by @drjohnm, @Jocasta_Ball & dr Sam Franklin. @hakonkornstad mesmerized us with his jazz saxophone and his operatic tenor 🎷🎶

[afib.no - the Norwegian AF research network @AfibNo]

Thank you all! We look forward to https://t.co/d8W0ygBSsi 2024!

The last session of the year - screening for AF. @SZDiederichsen - the Loop study, dr. Miroslav Boskovic & @sighalvo - NORSCREEN & @AnneHegeAamodt - the NORFIB study discussed who to screen - or not to screen for AF
