Monitoring heart rate and physical activity using a wearable device has clinical value. Both rare and common genetic variation is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation. A recent study found that 73% of patients with ATTR-CA had AF at diagnosis. Radiofrequency-based ablation is highly effective for patients with atrial fibrillation. People who are exposed to even small amounts of secondhand smoke have a greater risk of developing atrial fibrillation. According to a study, more patients with AFib are likely to experience heart failure rather than stroke or heart attack. Treating gum disease soon after catheter ablation to correct atrial fibrillation may lower the risk of recurrence. Adults who drink 2 liters or more of sugary or artificially sweetened drinks per week have a higher risk of AFib. Boston Scientific announced the FDA approval of the FARAPULSE PFA System in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Stuart Long, CEO of InfoBionic, discusses the overall burden of cardiac arrhythmias and how the MoMe ARC can help address it. The use of ADHD medications may be linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Christian Ruff on positive results from the AZALEA-TIMI 71 study of patients with AF at moderate to high risk of stroke. Drs. Jim List and Puneet Mohan discuss the Librexia program and the benefits of milvexian treatment. Patients with ischemic stroke attributed to LAD or SVD face a greater risk of AF over time. Data showed left atrial size and 18F-FDG uptake predicted development of arrhythmias in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis. Atrial fibrillation ablation is linked to lower rates of mortality and a decreased need for LVAD compared with therapy. A study showed that physical fitness is associated with a lower likelihood of AFib and stroke. Anemia patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation have a higher risk of dying, a study finds. Performing surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation during open-heart surgery appeared to be safe and effective. Preexisting OSA was not associated with atrial fibrillation or delirium in patients who underwent cardiac surgery
