Shifting OHCA Trends: Survival Up, but Incidence Varies by Age and Rhythm
Added: 10 months ago Source:  Radcliffe Cardiology
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… View more

Genetic Variants Improve AF Risk Prediction
Added: 8 months ago Source:  Arrhythmia Academy
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… View more

Higher ARR Linked to AF and Stroke Risk in Older Adults
Added: 3 months ago Source:  Radcliffe CVRM
Renin-independent aldosteronism is a common and often underrecognised condition. A new analysis from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study has investigated whether this broader spectrum of aldosteronism is associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older, community-dwelling adults.¹MethodologyThis prospective cohort analysis included 3,477 participants from the ARIC… View more

ESC 24: The GUARD-AF Trial
Author(s): Renato D Lopes Added: 1 year ago
ESC Congress 24 — AF screening with a wearable ECG device increases diagnosis by over 50% but did not significantly reduce hospitalisation rates for stroke.We are joined onsite at ESC Congress 2024 by Dr Renato Lopes (Duke University Medical Center, NC) to discuss the findings from the GUARD-AF Trial (NCT04126486, Bristol-Myers Squibb), which was designed to determine if screening for undiagnosed… View more

EHRA 25: The CONSIDERING-AF Study
Author(s): Emma Sandgren Added: 1 year ago
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… View more
