Premature Menopause May Increase Risk for Heart Failure, A-Fib
Ages 45 to 49, 40 to 44, younger than 40 years versus 50 years or older at menopause associated with increased risks for heart failure, atrial fibrillation
Migraine With Aura ID’d as Independent Risk Factor for A-Fib
Novel AI ECG algorithm shows patients with MwA have higher AF prediction model output, indicating higher probability of atrial fibrillation
A-Fib Linked to Worse Hospital Outcomes in Multiple Myeloma
In stratified analysis, odds of all-cause mortality, hospital stay of more than five days higher for MM patients not using anticoagulation
Postop A-Fib May Raise Risk for Heart Failure Hospitalization
Increased risk seen among adults without history of heart failure undergoing cardiac, noncardiac surgeries
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
