✍️🔬 PROFILE OF A POSTDOC 🔬✍️
By studying nationwide data covering 2000-2022, Postdoc, Nicklas Vinter found that the lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation has increased and that heart failure and not stroke was the most common complication.

The lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation has increased from one in four to one in three over the past two decades, finds study.
Among those with the condition, two in five are likely to develop heart failure over their remaining lifetime @nicklas_vinter

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW SCIENCE AMBASSADORS 2023🤩📷Together with @gunngis from the @Hjerteforening we had the privilege of appointing 20 new science ambassadors this Wednesday. We wish the young researchers good luck on their research journey.

Among Danish patients with #AFib who underwent ablation, those living alone, with lower educational attainment or with lower family income were more likely to have a recurrence of AF @nicklas_vinter#cardiotwitter https://t.co/cf2XlnWvXb
In patients with #HF, ⬇️family income was associated with ⬆️rates of acute #MI, #stroke, and cardiovascular death.⬇️Educational attainment was associated with ⬆️rates of acute MI and cardiovascular death. @s_paaske@LiverpoolCCS@MazayaFawzy https://t.co/WEeImkQxkW
Patients with #HF lose on average 1.5 years of expected lifetime 10 years after an incident diagnosis of #AF. @s_paaske@EmeliaBenjamin@l_trinquart https://t.co/zHVQS9KcbQ
Congratulations on an excellent PhD defense @nicklas_vinter on AF in patients with heart failure🙂🇩🇰 Thank you also to the assessment committee @dr_rwt, Renate Schnabel and Peter Brønnum Nielsen and my old “partner in crime”, main supervisor Lars Frost @HospitalsenhedM @DACS_AAU
In #HF patients, incident #Afib places demands on health service resources:
🔸4-fold risk of admission
🔸2-fold increase in number of both inpatient and outpatient contacts
🔸5-fold increase in days in hospital bed

The incidence of first-time spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage has decreased over time, but there was no clear temporal trend in mortality. Read our new nationwide study.

Risikoen for atrieflimren blandt patienter med hjertesvigt er lavere, hvis håndtering og behandling opfylder danske kvalitetsmål. Læs vores danske artikel i BestPractice Nordic #Afib#HF@s_paaske

Once you realize p-values are probabilities relating to observing data rather than probabilities of an hypothesis being true, you are already doing significantly better than most people
Estimating patients' individualized probability of an event of interest is challenging.
A must-read book by Gerds and @mike__kattan clearly explains and guides you when developing and validating prediction models.

The association between #HF and #Afib is complex. In this editorial recently published in @IJCardio, we discuss the relevance and perspective of #HF LVEF subtypes based on new and interesting data from the #ARIC Study cohort.

In this editorial, we discuss new data on visually estimated coronary artery calcium score and risk stratification in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. Are we a step further towards individualized medicine?
