Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years.

Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

Effects of 1-year exercise in patients with atrial fibrillation: study protocol for the Norwegian Exercise in Atrial Fibrillation (NEXAF) randomised controlled trial Introduction Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia worldwide and is expected to increase substantially within the coming years. Although lifestyle changes and risk factor modi...

300 implanted ILRs and well into the one-year follow-up for the last included participants.

Will one year of exercise impact arrhythmia burden in AF patients?

So happy to share our protocol paper for the NEXAF Trial: openheart.bmj.com/content/12/1... #cardiosky

Since coming back from @nmerke.bsky.social‘s great 3D-Workshop I‘ve been thinking about MR quantification - volumetric, VC, PISA - and why I haven’t been so enthusiastic about it lately. A thread…

Isn’t pediatric dental care free in Canada?

IVR has constant volume, but shape change. All parts of the ventricle relax, but the apex relaxes most, and hence is most Energy demanding, the shortening of the base is not wasted work. The reconfiguration generates apical flow, giving momentum to the subsequent early filling

Diastolic function and dysfunction in athletes Abstract. Cardiac remodelling is often most profound in male athletes and in athletes with the greatest volumes of endurance training and is characterized

Don’t know, but think you are right. Probably much lower than coronary which about 30%

A case of exactly what I mentioned in my last post. When things don’t fit, get better images with better equipment and/or more experienced people involved. #emimcc #cardiosky #echosky #pocus

Genome-wide association study reveals mechanisms underlying dilated cardiomyopathy and myocardial resilience - Nature Genetics Genome-wide association and multitrait analyses for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) using 9,365 cases and 946,368 controls provide insights into the mechanisms underlying DCM and myocardial resilience

Could it be because LA volume is ambiguous as increased volume is related to both ⬆️ fitness and chronically elevated filling pressures? In the first setting the LV is large with good long axis function, and normal sized w/depressed long axis function in the latter

Love this stuff!

Left Atrial Appendage Closure after Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation | NEJM Oral anticoagulation is recommended after ablation for atrial fibrillation among patients at high risk for stroke. Left atrial appendage closure is a mechanical alternative to anticoagulation, but ...

Very interesting study comparing standard anticoagulation to Watchman atrial closure after atrial fibrillation ablation, should garner lots of discussion! Lower bleeding rates, no difference in stroke risk. #cardiosky #medsky #AHA24 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Thanks for sharing 🙏 Have a look at our review on diastolic dysfunction in athletes ⬇️

Congratulations to @johnlsapp on the presentation and publication of VANISH-2.

First line VT ablation is associated with significant reduction in composite of death, VT, storm for patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Long time since last update: we implanted ILR number 300 in August, and >50% have completed the 1-year trial!

Hope you are ready for hot, new data on the effects of exercise on AF burden in the not so distant future 🤓🫀 #NEXAF #afib

1/
BPROAD (N=12821)
F/U 4.2y
SBP delta: 16.7 (118.3 vs 135 median)
A1C at 48m = 7.6%
PEP (CV death, MI, stroke or HF):
393 vs 492, 0.79, 0.69-0.90
ARD = 1.55% (6.13% vs 7.68%)
PEP driven by stroke: 284 vs 356, HR 0.79, 0.67-0.92
Stroke dominated PEP
No diff. in serious AE

Still both places..but most of all because I want to get people over here!

Periodic reminder that liking a post is nice and appreciated, but does nothing to increase visibility in general, you need to retweet/reskeet/retoot what you want others to see.

Nice way to get into #cardiosky!

Just added member nr 100 to #cardiosky starter pack, we’re growing fast! go.bsky.app/562nfhZ

Jepp, det har f.eks. samme trend hva gjelder tidlig (før vekttap) fall i eGFR (trolig redusert glomerulært rykk) og så protektiv effekt med langsommere fall - som ved SGLT2.. om jeg ikke husker feil

#EPeeps I'm going to keep posting interesting tracings until someone replies to one!

Would expect lateral TWI?

Time to leave Elon alone. Hope to see the same community here as twitter once was! #cardiosky

It’s great that journals are coming over here, but what I have really missed after my departure from Twitter 2 years ago is this, the authors themselves presenting their works and discussing it with peers. #cardiosky #medsky #emimcc

Bradycardia is common due to large stroke volumes in athletes. But what if the heart rate is high at echo exam? Would the LV EF go⬇️ to reduce energy waste and an unnecessary high cardiac output? We hypothesized so in our recent research letter @EJPCEiC...
