Important overview of genetic testing in early-onset AF. @Gene_Doctor_ and co-leader of afib.no is thankful for being part of this brilliant review in EHJ
Have you ever considered genetic testing in pts with early-onset AF (<45 years) as an EP? Probably not, maybe you should.
In our recent state-of-the-art review @ehj_ed we discuss implementation of genetic testing in AF clincial care. #EPeeps #CardioTwitter.

We had a great time on April 18, talking afib research the whole evening with researchers from afib.no. Thanks to everyone for coming and making great discussions!

Proud of @mortenmattings2 presenting WGS data from the GENAF study at #AHA23 today! Deleterious TTN variants is associated with AF, has impact on the structure of mouse atria & regulation of genes related to myocardial stress. @AfibNo @IdaGLunde

The low number of female athletes is a main limitation. It isn't easy, but with commitment from researchers and targeted strategies, equal or at least much higher representation of women should be achievable! onlinejase.com/article/S0894… @AfibNo

Does vigorous endurance exercise cause #Afib in women? Despite low prevalence of risk factors, we found a relatively high prevalence in older female athletes, suggesting exercise may promote #Afib also in women academic.oup.com/eurjpc/adva… @AfibNo
Thanks again for the wonderful afib.no 7th annual meeting at Lysebu in Oslo, Norway. The organizers (dr. Arnljot Tveit,@KFolkenborg & @Gene_Doctor_) are grateful for the contributions of our members and invited speakers! Recap from the inspiring sessions below 👇
The best oral abstract presentation award went to @kajsastraat; the best poster award went to dr. Jonatan Fernstad. The awards were presented by @drjohnm, @Jocasta_Ball & dr Sam Franklin. @hakonkornstad mesmerized us with his jazz saxophone and his operatic tenor 🎷🎶
The last session of the year - screening for AF. @SZDiederichsen - the Loop study, dr. Miroslav Boskovic & @sighalvo - NORSCREEN & @AnneHegeAamodt - the NORFIB study discussed who to screen - or not to screen for AF
