NOAH LYLES!!!!! WOW

Suni Lee !! What an incredible story to come back from her medical issues and perform with such grace, artistry and excellence !!! Congratulations !! Simone Biles a once in a lifetime athlete truly the GOAT !!!

Big shout out to the women’s national swimming team !! Incredible performances across distances and strokes !!!

Addressing treatment gaps and enhancing care for all are crucial in healthcare implementation. What can we learn from the VA system🤔? Utibe R. Essien, MD MPH w fascinating data at #ESCCongress showing mortality disparities in pts w afib appear to be mitigated in this system. #ESCCongress2024

“Among patients with #AFib at risk for stroke, treatment w. asundexian (Factor XIa inhibitor) was associated with a ⬆️ incidence of stroke or systemic embolism than treatment with apixaban… before the trial was stopped prematurely.” 😬 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

HRX hits different ! AI and its impact on healthcare and arrhythmia management! I’m cautiously optimistic. Lots to be excited about but many pitfalls, through it all let’s keep patients first !!

Day 1 of #HRX2024 was a whirlwind of insightful innovation in cardiovascular care! Looking forward to seeing what today brings!

Congratulations to Oussama Wazni and the OPTION study team on the presentation and publication of the OPTION trial. Similar low rates of stroke post ablation (no difference with laao vs OAC) with no significant 23% lower rate of major bleeding. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

OPTION RCT results presented by Dr. Oussama Wazni #LAAO is noninferior to #DOAC for #stroke / systemic embolism & superior in ⬇️ risk of major bleeding #AHA24 🔗 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Currently enjoying late breaking clinical trials at aha 2024 OPTION RCT of ablation + watchman vs ablation + OAC results presented. Available at NEJM Ok who among us with AF wants an ablation and watchman? Please raise your hand !

It’s interesting as a community we spend considerable effort de-emphasizing CHADSVac as a risk score in AF patients given its limitations yet almost every RCT uses it to stratify and subgroup participants for stroke and bleeding outcomes! Hmmm.
