In patients with ischemic stroke and concurrent nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and ASCVD, adding an antiplatelet agent to anticoagulant therapy offered no net clinical benefit over anticoagulant monotherapy. https://t.co/ZNZv1yo0wN

For scar-related VTs, the exit predicted from a vector-based #QRS algorithm often differs from the location where ablation terminates the VT. This is an important consideration for use of the QRS to guide VT ablation strategies. https://t.co/WYqqJr3cTI

OCEAN just published in NEJM.
In AF patients >1 yr after successful ablation, rivaroxaban did not reduce stroke/systemic embolism/new covert infarcts vs aspirin (0.31 vs 0.66 events/100 pt-yrs; P=0.28). Bleeding higher with rivaroxaban (1.6% vs 0.6%).
