Temporal trends of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Denmark: a nationwide retrospective cohort study
Conclusion There was a consistent rise in HCM cases with decreasing morbidity burden. Females were older at diagnosis and more likely to have their type of HCM classified as obstructive. The rate of outpatient follow-up is increasing.

Ability of the DANCAMI to predict the risk ischemic stroke and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter
Comparison of the danish comorbidity index for acute myocardial infarction (DANCAMI), the charlson comorbidity index (CCI), the elixhauser comorbidity index (ECI), and the CHA2DS2-VASc score to predict ischemic stroke, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality after atrial fibrillation/flutter.

Long-Term Imaging and Clinical Outcomes of Surgical Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With AtriClip
Surgical left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion with an AtriClip (AtriCure, West Chester, Ohio) is frequently performed for stroke prophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients with long-standing persistent AF who underwent hybrid convergent ablation and LAA clipping. Contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography was performed at 3 to 6  months after LAA clipping to assess the degree of complete closure and the residual LAA stump. A total of 78 patients (64 ± 10 years, 72% male) underwent LAA clipping as part of hybrid convergent AF ablation, from 2019 to 2020.

Lb-456091-2 dynamic data driven management of atrial fibrillation using implantable cardiac monitors – the monitor af study
Management of atrial fibrillation (AF) is often complex and dynamic. Clinical decisions related to initiation of rate control, rhythm control strategies, stroke prophylaxis measures depend on the assessment of the presence and the burden of AF. Assessment of therapy outcomes and withdrawl of drugs and anticoagulation are guided by AF monitoring. Implantable cardiac monitors (ICM) are excellent tools to detect and monitor AF burden in a dynamic fashion. We prospectively studied if the presence of an ICM impacts the management of AF and there by clinical outcomes.

Atorvastatin and the influence on postoperative atrial fibrillation after surgical aortic valve replacement (STARC) in adults at Odense University Hospital, Denmark: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common postoperative complication after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and occurs in up to 50% of the patients. Development of postoperative AF (POAF) is associated with a 2–3 fold increased risk of adverse events, including stroke, myocardial infarction and death. Several studies have implied that prophylactic Atorvastatin therapy could prevent POAF in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft. These studies suggest that Atorvastatin has rapid and significant pleiotropic actions that reduce the risk of POAF. However, prophylactic treatment with stati...

Po-01-087 a rare case of bi-atrial fdg-uptake: presenting as new onset atrial fibrillation
Isolated atrial myocarditis is rare, with presenting symptoms that are non-specific. Prior reports have suggested association with atrial arrythmias and increased risk of stroke due to atrial dysfunction. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) CT scan is considered as a goal standard test for the diagnosis of myocarditis.

Po-05-185 prediction and risk of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a danish nationwide cohort study
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) can be associated with serious complications such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation (AF) and sudden cardiac death. The treatment of AF in HCM patients can be challenging since AF often aggravates symptoms and increases the risk of stroke. Little is known on which factors contribute to the development of AF in these patients.

Loss of a child and the risk of atrial fibrillation: a Danish population-based prospective cohort study
Conclusions The death of a child was associated with a modestly increased risk of AF. Bereaved parents may benefit from increased support from family members and health professionals.

Stroke and myocardial infarction in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms and new-onset atrial fibrillation
Conclusion Cardiovascular prognosis has improved in patients with prevalent AAA disease and new-onset AF in concordance with optimization of antithrombotic therapy over time. A diagnosis of AF conferred residual risk of stroke and myocardial infarction.PMID:36626930 | DOI:10.1055/a-2009-8954

Treatment patterns for oral anticoagulants in older patients with atrial fibrillation: a retrospective, cross-sectional, nationwide study from Denmark
Conclusion In this large nationwide study, we found that in older patients with AF, the overall rates of OAC prescription were generally high (~80%) and increasing during the last decade. Factors associated with not receiving guideline recommended OAC treatment were generally related to bleeding risk factors or frailty.

Long-term cardiovascular outcomes and temporal trends in patients diagnosed with ANCA-associated vasculitis: a Danish nationwide registry study
ConclusionsPatients with AAV are at increased risk of heart failure, atrial-/ventricular arrhythmias, venous thrombotic events, ischaemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Furthermore, patients with AAV were more frequently examined with coronary procedures and underwent more coronary revascularizations. No temporal changes in ischaemic cardiovascular outcomes were observed, albeit the cardiovascular mortality has decreased over time.

Atrial cardiomyopathy in patients with ischaemic stroke: a cross-sectional and prospective cohort study--the COAST study
This study uses cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to evaluate atrial cardiomyopathy among patients with stroke of undetermined aetiology compared with those with an attributable mechanism and controls without established cardiovascular disease. Methods and analysis This cross-sectional and prospective cohort study included 100 patients with recent ischaemic stroke and 50 controls with no established cardiovascular disease. The study will assess LA structural and functional abnormalities with CMR. Inclusion began in March 2019, and follow-up is planned to be complete in January 2023. There are two scheduled follow-ups: (1) ...
