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

Live Zoster Vaccination Linked to Reduced Cardiovascular Event Risk
Added: 9 months ago Source:  Radcliffe Cardiology
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… View more

Genetic Variants Improve AF Risk Prediction
Added: 7 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
