TL;DR: Among patients with AF, the strategy of catheter ablation, compared with medical therapy, did not significantly reduce the primary composite end point of death, disabling stroke, serious bleeding, or cardiac arrest, which should be considered in interpreting the results of the trial.

TL;DR: An artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled electrocardiograph (ECG) using a convolutional neural network to detect the electrocardsiographic signature of atrial fibrillation present during normal sinus rhythm using standard 10-second, 12-lead ECGs is developed.

TL;DR: A deep learning algorithm applied to the electrocardiogram can detect abnormally low contractile function of the heart, opening up the possibility for a simple screening tool for this condition.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies in 13,685 individuals of European ancestry offers insights into myocardial repolarization and suggests candidate genes that could predispose to sudden cardiac death and drug-induced arrhythmias.

TL;DR: In routine clinical practice, prescribed NOAC doses are often inconsistent with drug labeling and prescribing patterns may be associated with worse safety withNo benefit in effectiveness in patients with severe kidney disease and worse effectiveness with no benefit in safety in apixaban-treated patients with normal or mildly impaired renal function.
