Atrial fibrillation (#AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is characterised by disorganised atrial electrical activity leading to an irregular and often rapid heart rate.

[BDA CVD Specialist Group @BDA_CVD]

#Lifestyle and #nutritional interventions are an important component of management alongside pharmacological therapy.

[BDA CVD Specialist Group @BDA_CVD]

AF is strongly associated with increased risk of #stroke, #heartfailure and all-cause mortality.

A recent 2025 position paper from AFNET/EHRA make it clear that treatment is moving beyond stroke prevention to include management of comorbidities and reduction of AF burden.

Dr. Mary O’Kane explains hair loss after Metabolic Bariatric Surgery is temporary.

It can occur with rapid weight loss, stress, or strict dieting.

With proper nutrition and supplements, hair growth returns. She reassures patients it’s normal and reversible.

Had fun working with @methodsnerd
And colleagues on this update Systematic Review and Meta Analysis of trials reducing or modifying saturated fat published in @AnnalsofIM - while there are many reviews on the topic, ours adds some important methodological approaches & considerations, including utilizing patient-important, individual cardiovascular outcomes (heart attack, stroke, etc) as opposed to composite outcomes; stratifying results by baseline cardiovascular risk; assessing certainty of evidence in the context of the minimally important difference (MID) thresholds, the smallest change in the outcome that patients might perceive as important; and a comprehensive consideration of all relevant subgroups.
