Highly recommended listening : @ALaGerche brilliantly explains #afib (including relation with exercise, sex differences, exercise with afib and distinction from ventricular arrhythmias, starting after 43 Min) + other cardiac conditions in athletes. Great podcast @GlennMcConell1

Now online Really interesting chat with top Sports Cardiologist @ALaGerche Exercise can cause right ventricle “fatigue”, increased coronary artery calcium and atrial fibrillation But, it’s beneficial for the heart Spotify (shorturl.at/qBLN4), Apple Podcasts, YouTube etc

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

While some athletes experience #afib episodes during exercise, others have symptoms at rest. Reflecting different mechanisms? We found a 3 to 6-fold higher rate of AF episodes during and within the first 3 hours after training #ESCcongress

Atrial Fibrillation - The Achilles' heel of the middle-aged athlete. ❓Detraining or reduced training intensity ? ⏰ Need for prospective studies ✅ @NEXAF1 (bit.ly/40iQEBP) first RCT on #Afib in athletes @guido_claessen @MariusMyrstad @ALaGerche #ESCPrev2023

Proud to announce that the first paper of my PhD has been published. We prospectively examined the risk of AF and stroke associated with (very) long-term exposure to endurance sport practice in older men. openheart.bmj.com/content/9/…

A pleasure to dive into the history of research on Birkebeiner skiers in this @JournalASEcho editorial with @BradleyPetek & Dolphurs Hayes @mghmedres. Look forward to more insight from @MariusMyrstad @eivindso re: AF in athletes! Inspiration to swap 🏃🏻‍♀️for XC🎿 this winter?

Beautiful summary of exercise-induced cardiac remodeling, Afib in athletes and studies of Norwegian Birkebeiner skiers since 1976, including the excellent work of @eivindso on right heart remodeling @JournalASEcho @BradleyPetek @MeaganWasfy onlinejase.com/article/S0894… 1/2
