On #vacation but need to share 2 recent near-tragedies. Another 6+ yr delay in diagnosis of #CPVT. Multiple #exercise associated faints, 5 MD visits including 3 #Epeeps, & 6 yrs until 1st stress test! REPEAT AFTER ME - a pt w/ an exercise assoc faint MUST have a stress test!

PLWHA are at increased risk of experiencing cardiac arrest 💔 and event occur at a much younger age!! Important findings with implications for the care of PLWHA!

Potential novel biomarkers for VT in patients with acute MI! Great job by Niels Kjær Stampe and team! Bo Gregers Winkel prof Jacob Tfelt-Hansen

One of the best things about scientific meetings! Great to catch up, @CSHeartResearch !!!

Our study on the effect of valsartan on disease progression in subclinical HCM is out now in JAMA Cardiology doi.org/10.1001/jamaca…. Overall, progression of HCM was slow and no effect of valsartan was identified (although n=34). Thanks to all patients and collaborators!

Our cohort of >25K OHCA pts aged >80 (incl >200 aged 100-115!) demonstrates that OHCA in the elderly is ⬆️ common w aging population and resuscitation is not necessarily futile. Patient selection + assessment of post-DC QOL in survivors v important Ziad Nehme David Anderson

🔬 Exciting news! Our latest study, published in JACC Journals, investigates an understudied aspect of TTNtv – its impact on skeletal muscle. We report findings indicating an effect of TTNtv beyond the heart. Dive into the full study here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1i85H7tD%7EZ… 🧬

JUST OUT 📢 JACC Journals Sports-related SCD mainly occurs in younger men with structural heart disease and they have a lower prevalence of a positive toxicology! 👌Great work by Carl Johann Hansen prof Jacob Tfelt-Hansen Bo Gregers Winkel Elizabeth Paratz @CSHeartResearch RigsHeart 🫀🚨 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Important add-on to our existing knowledge on sports related SCD and the role of toxicology! Great collaborative work💪👍. Super proud to be part of this work 😃
