Our meta-analysis of 7 RCTs (7,353 patients) found that pLAAO was associated with significantly more ischemic stroke or systemic embolism than OAC, without reducing major bleeding. Bayesian analysis also failed to establish noninferiority. Proponents of pLAAO will not like this paper.

These letters are the tip of the iceberg of the prob w CHAMPION (and OPTION, btw)
CHAMPION will be used in EBM classes as an eg of biased design and interpretation
A colossal embarrassment for the academics involved
Note what BSX stock did the Monday after the *positive* trial was presented

What makes a meta-analysis believable?
In our latest issue, a new Viewpoint outlines how to identify meta-analyses that merit clinical confidence.

Periodic repolarization dynamics (#PRD) combined with supraventricular premature complexes/hour showed better discrimination than the CHASE‐LESS score alone in predicting new #AF after stroke

A very important paper, perhaps one of the most important I've read recently!! However, unsure how long it would take to map the steep repolarization gradient during the procedure...Congrats @EladAnter!⬇️

Presented at #ESCCongress:
In patients with severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease, a strategy of transcatheter aortic-valve implantation before percutaneous coronary intervention was noninferior to PCI before TAVI for major clinical events at 1 year. Full TAVI PCI trial results: https://t.co/FkY3jHU5LE

Presented at #ESCCongress:
Among patients with syncope that remained unexplained after evaluation in the ED, immediate initiation of 14-day ECG monitoring did not result in significantly fewer patient-reported syncope episodes at 1 year than standard care. Full ASPIRED trial results: https://t.co/XaKy06LFW0

��� Presented today at #ESCCongress:
Among patients with persistent #AtrialFibrillation and significant low-voltage zones identified by electroanatomical mapping, adjunctive low-voltage zone ablation added to pulmonary vein isolation improved arrhythmia-free survival at 12 months vs pulmonary vein isolation alone.
Benefit was observed after 1 or 2 ablation procedures and without antiarrhythmic drugs, supporting a substrate-guided ablation strategy in this population.
