McMaster Stroke Program Thanks very much for your support McMaster Stroke Program ! Cannot take credit for largest ICH RCT however. Only largest looking at this question But apparently size doesn’t matter ;)

Thrilled to announce that #EnrichAF completed enrolment of 948 patients in Q4 2024. So grateful for the efforts of our global colleagues on reaching this milestone, despite the several challenges we've faced along the way. Follow-up is due to complete in Q1 2026. Stay tuned!

Should patients with #stroke and device-detected subclinical #AFib (SCAF) receive OAC? Our subgroup analyses of the The ARTESiA Trial 🇨🇦 published in The Lancet Neurology provide novel insights indicating that they indeed should in the right setting. thelancet.com/journals/laneu… #CardioTwitter

Everyone with an interest in AI, ECGs, or cardiology should read our paper out in Nature Medicine today! The DRAI MARTINI study tested the performance of DeepRhythmAI from #MEDICALgorithmics for direct-to-physician reporting of ambulatory ECGs. The results overwhelmingly favour

Getting your real-time heart rhythm monitored for 10 days now requires an ECG technician to review and notify your doctor of a critical arrhythmia. A new study showed A.I. did better than technicians (98.6% vs 80.3%) for identifying these abnormalities nature.com/articles/s4159…

LAAO and stroke: We summarize current evidence & ongoing trials: promising option for AF patients to avoid OAC (i.e. after ICH, CAA) or if DOAC alone is not enough (i.e. after #breakthroughstroke) Alexander Benz ⁦ELAPSE⁩ ⁦Stroke AHA/ASA⁩ ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

⚠️ New meta-analysis in JAMA Neurology shows high residual risk of stroke in AF patients—even with anticoagulation. 🧠 3.75%/yr risk of recurrence, 7.2% if stroke occurred despite OAC. HIGH 📉 1 in 6 have recurrent stroke at 5 yrs. Urgent need for better prevention tools. #ESOC2025

The sun is rising in New Orleans, on the first day of AHA 2025! Tomorrow we show data from the DRAI MARTINI study that answers whether the superior sensitivity of DeepRhythmAI for arrhythmia detection leads to relevant diagnoses or just a mess of incidental findings? Very
