NEXAF during #escprev2023 presented by Marius Myrstad Already curious about the results in the future!

Just presented data from 10 yrs follow-up of 🇳🇴 veteran female XC-skiers: Cumultive prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation of 15% (age 77 yrs at follow-up) despite low cardiovascular risk. #ESCPrev2023

Compared to less active men, 🇳🇴XC-skiers had ✅66% reduced mortality ✅15% lower absolute risk of death ✅ benefits beyond those of moderate activity Birkebeiner'n UiT Norges arktiske universitet Wiley in research Vestre Viken DiakonhjemmetSykehus onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Congratulations Magnar Gangås Solberg 👏🏻 who brilliantly at #EACVI2023 presented normal values of 🫀 LA strain from the #ACE1950 study!

First 🇧🇪 athlete has been included in the NEXAF Detraining study. Cyclists and other athletes with atrial fibrillation are included at four hospitals in Belgium UZ Leuven UZA AZ Jan Palfijn Gent Jessa Ziekenhuis Belgian Cycling Athletes can get in touch here: nexaf.no/nexaf-research…

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to screen master athletes for CV diseases. But if we are to, we should also look for atrial fibrillation, at least in those >65yrs. Consumer ECGs are suitable sreening tools in this population European Society of Cardiology Journals Trygve Berge Eivind Sørensen MD

1 day to go! Looking forward to present first data from The NEXAF Detraining study at #ESCcongress tomorrow on the temporal association between exercise and #Afib episodes in athletes 🇳🇴🇦🇺 Science box 2 4.45 pm! #sportscardiology Kristel Janssens Eivind Sørensen MD @JonMagne

Excellent kick-off of the #ESCcongress by Marius Myrstad on afib in athletes

Fantastic presentation by ⁦Marius Myrstad⁩ on the temporal association between exercise and #Afib in athletes👏#sportscardiology #ESCCongress

This RCT currently includes endurance-trained individuals diagnosed with #Afib in 🇦🇺🇧🇪🇳🇴 Inclusion criteria: ✅Documented AF ✅≥2 episodes last 6 months ✅Otherwise healthy ✅≥5 hours/week of endurance exercise Protocol: bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/9/2/e0… Rik Williams Kristel Janssens

How Many Times Does Your Heart Beat in a Lifetime? #Afib Research at Bærum hospital brilliantly presented by Elizabeth Andersen 🧠 Marte Walle🫀 Peter Selmer Rønningen Eivind Sørensen MD Vestre Viken

Great presentations, very nice athmosphere and running at evidence-based pace at the Norwegian Afib Research Network meeting! With Søren Zöga Diederichsen John Mandrola, MD @JonMagne Peter Selmer Rønningen Eivind Sørensen MD @TuridApelland Elizabeth Andersen Magnar Gangås Solberg Kristin Espolin Johnson Andreas Berg Sellevold NEXAF

Does vigorous endurance exercise cause #Afib in women? Despite low prevalence of risk factors, we found a relatively high prevalence in older female athletes, suggesting exercise may promote #Afib also in women academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advance… afib.no - the Norwegian AF research network

Andre is currently running a study with Marius Myrstad  on the impact of training intensity on atrial fibrillation (AF). Endurance-trained (>5h/week) individuals  suffering from AF may participate. Read about the NEXAF-study and how to get in touch here nexaf.no/nexaf-research…

Out now: Should AF patients at intermediate stroke risk (CHA2DS2-VASc score 1) be treated with OAC? ⬇️53% lower stroke risk with OAC ⬆️2,5x higher stroke risk in non-OAC users compared to individuals without AF Mariam Anjum Trygve Berge European Society of Cardiology Journals academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…

Honoured to summarize 15 years of research on 🇳🇴 veteran Birkebeiner XC-skiers at the testimonial seminar of Prof Ranhoff at Haraldsplass Sykehus Universitetet i Bergen Norsk forening for geriatri
