Detection of atrial fibrillation in persons aged 65 years and above using a mobile electrocardiogram device
CONCLUSION: Screening for AF using the Kardia MED is feasible and results in 2.5% newly detected AF cases. Expert interpretation of algorithm outcomes AF and unclassified is recommended.PMID:38015347 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01828-6 (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)

The importance, consequences and treatment of psychosocial risk factors in heart disease: less conversation, more action!
Neth Heart J. 2023 Nov 28. doi: 10.1007/s12471-023-01831-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPsychosocial factors play a significant role in the incidence and prognosis of cardiovascular disease with a rapidly increasing body of knowledge, as acknowledged by their inclusion in the European Society of Cardiology cardiovascular prevention guideline since 2012. Nevertheless, psychosocial risk is not consistently assessed, acknowledged and treated in daily clinical practice. Therefore, adopting a multidimensional approach that encompasses biological, psychological, and social factors is crucial for understanding the dynamic natur...

Cardiac rehabilitation for patients with obesity: lessons learned from the OPTICARE XL trial
Neth Heart J. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1007/s12471-023-01832-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTObesity is a known and commonly encountered risk factor for the development of cardiac diseases. Patients with cardiac diseases who also have obesity do not benefit optimally from standard cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. Exercises performed during CR are not the best fit for patients with obesity and counselling sessions often do not address their specific needs. OPTICARE XL is the first large multicentre randomised controlled trial to investigate the added value of a dedicated one-year CR program specifically designed for patie...

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in stable angina pectoris: a narrative review on current evidence and underlying physiological mechanisms
Neth Heart J. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1007/s12471-023-01830-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStable angina pectoris (SAP) is a prevalent condition characterised by a high disease burden. Based on recent evidence, the need for revascularisation in addition to optimal medical treatment to reduce mortality and re-events is heavily debated. These observations may be explained by the fact that revascularisation is targeted at the local flow-limiting coronary artery lesion, while the aetiology of SAP relates to the systemic, inflammatory process of atherosclerosis, causing generalised vascular dysfunction throughout the entire vasc...
