@MGH_CLP has been working on lifestyle interventions for weight loss with @JeffAshburner and EPs like #aneeshbapat and @MoussaMansour10 Now integrating GLPs is the next step! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… @MGHHeartHealth

Our model to predict 5 year risk of post-stroke cognitive impairment using routinely collected EHR data. Important tool for risk stratification / targeted #BrainHealth preventive interventions. @CDAndersonMD @JRosand_MD

Afib can increase risk of stroke, morbidity & hospitalization. Lifestyle modification programs may reduce symptoms, progression & improve QOL. Dr. @JeffAshburner et al. examine a behavioral program for pts w/Afib. bit.ly/4ac6y69 @pnatarajanmd, @anne_thorndike, @RomitB_MD
Really important work. Afib should be covered for Cardiac rehab #afib #cardiacrehab

Atrial fibrillation is not a covered indication for cardiac rehab. Our 12k cardiac rehab-like program for pts with AF in single-arm @MGHHeartHealth pilot showed improvement in AF burden, symptoms, and quality of life journals.lww.com/jcrjournal/ful… @JCRPjrnl @JeffAshburner @RomitB_MD
Interesting work lead by @JeffAshburner in #VITALAF trial ➡️ among pts w/ known #afib, no diff in new OAC initiation w/ vs. w/o 1L ECG screening, but 𝟏𝐋 𝐄𝐂𝐆 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐀𝐂 𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (⬆️ if possible AF result, ⬇️ if normal)! @MGHHeartHealth

Among 17k controls in the VITAL-AF trial, 13% had prevalent #afib; new #afib incidence 2.3%/yr. Even more #afib in older patients (29% in age ≥85) and patients with #HeartFailure (43%). @shaan_khurshid @JeffAshburner @steven_lubitz @MGHHeartHealth ja.ma/3Ihtl4n
How common is #afib in today's primary care? Prevalence 13%, incidence 2.4%/yr among pts ≥65 yrs in VITAL-AF trial, adjudicated outcomes #afib prevalence 29% in ≥85 yrs and 43% in #heartfailure Paper @JAMANetworkOpen ➡️ bit.ly/3XI2rbz @MGHHeartHealth @MGHMedicine
Proud to get this work out into the world! Thanks to everyone who made this possible: @shaan_khurshid @xxinxwang @RVpacing @DPipilasMD @JeffAshburner @patrick_ellinor Daniel Singer @satlas60 @steven_lubitz

#OriginalResearch: Screening for AF using a single-lead ECG at primary care visits did not affect new AF diagnoses among individuals aged >= 65 years compared to usual care #VITAL_AF @patrick_ellinor @shaan_khurshid @JeffAshburner @steven_lubitz ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
Study by #MGH investigators finds handheld devices for A-fib screening may be most effective in the oldest adults during primary care visits bit.ly/3hBc0q8
We need a Massachusetts special edition with a chapter titled “Do I Have to Remove the Sheets of Ice Off the Roof of My Range Rover before Driving on the Highway and Potentially Killing Someone? I Mean…It May Take Me 10 Whole Minutes.” @KenTremendous

As more patients gain access to consumer devices capable of monitoring heart rhythm - what is the future of point of care screening for atrial fibrillation? Our new piece in @CVDH_journal - with @shaan_khurshid @satlas60 @steven_lubitz and Danny Singer. doi.org/10.1016/j.cvdh…
