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…

Complete heart block (CHB) is a life-threatening arrhythmia, yet current electrocardiography (ECG)-based methods for risk stratification have limited predictive power. A new study has detailed the development and validation of a novel artificial intelligence-enhanced ECG (AI-ECG) model that can accurately predict the risk of incident CHB, significantly outperforming traditional risk markers.¹The…

AUTHOR: Jordan RanceRisk stratification for primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis remains a clinical challenge, partly due to inconsistencies in diagnostic criteria and the variable course of the disease. A new study published in the European Heart Journal suggests that cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) phenotyping has…
