Emmanuelle Vermes,Jean-Claude Tardif,Martial G. Bourassa,Normand Racine,Sylvie Levesque,Michel White,Peter G. Guerra,Anique Ducharme +7 more
TL;DR: Treatment with the ACEi enalapril markedly reduces the risk of development of atrial fibrillation in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The COLCORONA trial as mentioned in this paper investigated the effect of colchicine on the composite of COVID-19-related death or hospital admission and found that colchics led to a lower rate of the composite adverse events than placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laurent Macle,Paul Khairy,Rukshen Weerasooriya,Paul Novak,Atul Verma,Stephan Willems,Thomas Arentz,Isabel Deisenhofer,George D. Veenhuyzen,Christophe Scavée,Pierre Jaïs,Helmut Puererfellner,Sylvie Levesque,Jason G. Andrade,Lena Rivard,Peter G. Guerra,Marc Dubuc,Bernard Thibault,Mario Talajic,Denis Roy,Stanley Nattel +20 more
TL;DR: Adenosine testing to identify and target dormant pulmonary vein conduction during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is a safe and highly effective strategy to improve arrhythmia-free survival in patients with paroxysmal atrialfibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mario Talajic,Paul Khairy,Sylvie Levesque,Stuart J. Connolly,Paul Dorian,Marc Dubuc,Peter G. Guerra,Stefan H. Hohnloser,Kerry L. Lee,Laurent Macle,Stanley Nattel,Ole Pedersen,Lynne W. Stevenson,Bernard Thibault,Albert L. Waldo,D. George Wyse,Denis Roy +16 more
TL;DR: A rhythm-control strategy or the presence of sinus rhythm are not associated with better outcomes in patients with AF and CHF.
Journal ArticleDOI
