Managing antithrombotic therapy in older patients with both atrial fibrillation (AF) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) presents a clinical challenge, balancing the risks of thrombotic events and bleeding. A new post hoc analysis of the AFIRE trial sought to clarify whether the effects of rivaroxaban monotherapy differ across age groups compared to combination therapy with an antiplatelet…

AUTHOR: Liam ONeillDespite a stable overall incidence over two decades, outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have significantly improved, according to a large retrospective cohort study from the US. The findings reveal that while the total number of OHCAs has not changed, the patterns of incidence differ markedly across age groups and presenting cardiac rhythms, with survival…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) has a complex genetic architecture, and a new study suggests that integrating information on common, rare, and somatic genetic variants can significantly improve risk prediction. Researchers developed an integrated genomic model (IGM-AF) that, when combined with clinical factors, enhanced the stratification of individuals at risk for incident AF.¹This cohort study…

A large-scale, nationwide study from South Korea suggests that vaccination with the live zoster vaccine is associated with a significantly lower risk of various cardiovascular (CV) events in adults aged 50 and older. The findings indicate a protective association that persists for up to 8 years post-vaccination.¹This population-based cohort study analysed data from over 2.2 million individuals…

EHRA 2025 - Outcomes from model screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) show the combination of a risk prediction model and long-term electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is superior to standard of care in detecting new cases of AF in a high-risk population aged 65 years or older. In the risk prediction model arm, the incidence of AF after six months was significantly higher than the incidence in…
