Atrial Fibrillation Tied to Worse Noncardiac Surgery Outcomes
Findings seen for older adults across sex, race, surgery type, and cardiac risk levels
High AI-ECG-AF Risk Score Tied to Worse Cognition, Cognitive Decline
High probability of atrial fibrillation by AI-ECG-AF score correlated with cerebral infarcts on MRI
Women Underrepresented as Cardiac Electrophysiology Operators
Proportion of women is stagnant from 2013 to 2019, even with major clinical growth in atrial fibrillation ablation
Risk for Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Increases With Body Weight
Body mass index linked to both short- and long-term risk for return of the heart rhythm disorder following ablation
A-Fib Detected in Nearly Three in 10 Cryptogenic Stroke Patients
Most patients diagnosed with AF were asymptomatic; arrhythmia detected with 12 months of continuous cardiac monitoring
NOACs May Be Better Choice for Patients With A-Fib and DM
Risks for diabetes complications, mortality lower with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants versus warfarin
USPSTF: Evidence Still Lacking for Atrial Fibrillation Screening
Evidence currently inadequate for assessing the balance of benefits and harms of screening for atrial fibrillation in asymptomatic adults
Frail Patients With Nonvalvular A-Fib Less Likely to Receive Anticoagulants
Frail patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation also less likely to receive a direct oral anticoagulant versus warfarin
AI-Based Analysis of ECG May Help Assess A-Fib Risk
Predictive utility comparable for CHARGE AF clinical risk score, artificial intelligence-enabled analysis of 12-lead electrocardiogram
Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation Up After Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Breast cancer stage strongly linked to development of AF; new-onset AF after breast cancer diagnosis linked to increased cardiovascular mortality
