Atrial fibrillation incidence has been stable for 3 decades, with no differences in trends by race, sex, or age #ARIC @alonso_epi @EmoryRollins #AHAJournals ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…

New data from SWISS-AF suggests patients with diabetes were about 26% less likely to notice symptoms of aFib and more likely to experience more comorbidities than their counterparts without diabetes. endocrinologynetwork.com/vie… #Afib #Diabetes

“We found no evidence of a near-term relationship between caffeine consumption & atrial fibrillation," Dr. @gregorymmarcus says of a UCSF study on possible triggers of #afib. "In contrast, alcohol consumption most consistently exhibited heightened risks." ucsfh.org/3xP1lzr

Epigenetic Age and the Risk of Incident Atrial Fibrillation | Circulation

Background: The most prominent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) is chronological age; however, underlying mechanisms are unexplained. Algorithms using epigenetic modifications to the human...

Oral anticoagulant therapy to reduce the risk of thromboembolic stroke in patients with nonvalvular #AFib is recommended in men with a CHA2DS2-VASc score >= 2, women with a score >= 3. Learn more in this clinical review podcast! ja.ma/341em94 ja.ma/333Znu1

#Anticoagulants won’t harm older #AFib patients, the study found, but their net clinical benefit declines every year after 75. ow.ly/YGxR50x9eS6

While the causes of #atrialfibrillation are not always clear, there are some controllable risk factors that may reduce the chance of developing #afib. You can find out more from our friends at #MedtronicHeart. medtronic.com/us-en/c/treati…

New #RPTH study showed 34% of #AFib pts taking a #DOAC stopped it by 1 year; 25% switched to another Rx. ♀, those age <60 and not on other Rx were more likely to stop. Is it time to institute monitoring programs to improve DOAC persistence in AFib? doi.org/10.1002/rth2.12261
