Sept is #AFIB Awareness Month 💡 AF symptoms can vary ranging from asymptomatic or silent 🔕, to subtle loss of stamina😩, mental fog😶‍🌫️, to fatigue 🥱and shortness of breath🫁, and episodic palpitations 💓 🥵Stroke can be the first symptom of #AFIB American College of Cardiology #ACCEP Council

Exciting talk by Dr. Nazem Akoum!#WAFIB2025 “Patient-Specific Multi-Physics Simulations: Impact of Fibrotic Changes on Left Atrial Hemodynamics” 🫀 Exploring how fibrosis alters fluid dynamics & influences AF electromechanics-shaping the future of precision electrophysiology!

🚨🚨 Check out our latest publication in JICE. Key takeaways: ❇️HCM had the highest AF recurrence risk post-ablation (3x higher). ❇️Fibrosis was greatest in HCM & ICM, with no regional differences among CM types. ❇️LA fibrosis & volume predicted recurrence. ❇️MYBPC3/MYH7

Left atrial epicardial fat isn’t just passive! More LA epicardial adipose tissue = more AF recurrence, worse function, slower conduction, lower voltage — but no link to scar. Important insight into atrial myopathy mechanisms! #HRS2025 Ahmad Kassar Nazem Akoum Romanos Haykal
