Po-01-167 efficacy of botulinum toxin type a (agn-151607) for the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation in cardiac surgery patients: atrial fibrillation and anticoagulation results from the phase 2 nova study
Oral anticoagulation reduces the risk of stroke but also increases the risk of bleeding. Prevention of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) could result in a lower burden of oral anticoagulation and bleeding events. AGN-151607 has been proposed to prevent POAF and its safety/efficacy was tested in a multicenter randomized trial.

Po-01-141 safety and efficacy of oral anticoagulant in patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation
Periprocedural stroke is a devastating complication of any left-sided electrophysiological procedure. Limited data exist regarding post-Ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation antiplatelet or anticoagulation strategy – often extrapolated from clinical experience with catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Po-01-140 atrial fibrillation and septic shock: a five-year retrospective observational study of anticoagulation usage, bleeding and stroke rates
Anticoagulation (AC) for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cornerstone of management, and the benefit of mitigating stroke risk is accompanied by an increased risk of bleeding. The risk and benefit of AC in septic shock remains unclear as this disruptive hyperinflammatory state leads to multi-organ dysfunction, which can include coagulopathies.

Po-01-210 stroke risk is identified by slow blood flow and stagnant blood particles in the left atrium
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia, causing irregular contraction patterns in the atrial chambers. This rhythm disorder may result in stagnant flow, leading to the formation of blood clots, especially in the left atrial appendage (LAA), and causing a thrombotic stroke. Current stroke risk assessment in AF patients is done using CHADS2 or CHA2 DS2 –VASc scores, which are based on selected clinical characteristics, without accounting for potential risk factors such as LAA thrombi formation.

Risk factors for stroke beyond CHADS2VASc and atrial fibrillation (AF) are not well established.

Dh-452784-2 identifying atrial fibrillation with sinus rhythm electrocardiogram using artificial intelligence in embolic stroke with undetermined source
Previous studies have demonstrated acceptable ranges of accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for identifying patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) based on their sinus rhythm electrocardiograms (ECGs). However, none of them has been validated in patients with embolic stroke with undetermined source (ESUS) in which thorough AF screening is required.

Ce-452772-4 delayed detection of and intervention for incident af in hospitalized patients is common and consequential
Incident atrial fibrillation (AF) affects c.10% of hospitalized patients. Early AF management mitigates risk of complications (e.g. stroke, heart failure, care escalation) yet recognition and intervention is sub-optimal. Prior work here showed a median 1.5 day delay from automated algorithmic AF detection to clinical action in the ICU.

Ce-452772-3 self-pulse exam for atrial fibrillation screening: a randomized controlled trial
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most commonly treated cardiac arrhythmia, is associated with significant morbidity including the potential for stroke. Because AF is often asymptomatic, there is growing interest in AF screening. Trials of AF screening using external monitors, smartwatches, or other personal electronic devices have shown that screening increases detection of AF. Due to the cost and low yield of screening with insufficient evidence of clinical benefit, the US Preventative Services Task Force has not recommended comprehensive screening for AF at the current time.

Po-01-083 percutaneous closure of peri-device leak following left atrial appendage closure using an amplatzer duct occluder
Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure has been recognised as an alternative therapy for stroke prevention in selected patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who have difficulties with long-term oral anticoagulation. Peri-device leaks (PDLs) are frequently diagnosed after LAA closure procedures, regardless of closure methods. PDL> 5mm is related with further embolic events. Nevertheless, management of severe PDL has been a challenging concern which requires multiple teams involved.

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-01-108 elucidating the mechanism of atrial fibrillation in lamin a/c heart disease using human ipsc-derived atrial cardiomyocytes
Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C, cause cardiac arrhythmias, conduction disease, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Malignant arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia are common and pose an increased risk of stroke and sudden cardiac death.

Po-01-220 invasively diagnosed hfpef in af associated with functional remodelling of the left atrial appendage: implications for stroke risk
HFpEF commonly coexists with atrial fibrillation (AF). The influence of coexisting HFpEF on function of the left atrial appendage (LAA) and risk of stroke remains unknown.

Po-01-219 combination of early rhythm control and healthy lifestyle on the risk of stroke in elderly patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation: a korean nationwide population-based cohort study
Early rhythm control and lifestyle modification have both been associated with a lower risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact of early rhythm control strategy in combination with lifestyle modification on the risk of stroke is less clear in elderly population.

Po-01-197 the epidemiology of extracranial infarcts in a population-based cohort with atrial fibrillation
The epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)-associated stroke is well-described. However, less is known about the epidemiology of AF-associated extracranial emboli, which may be inferred from the tissue infarcts observed.

Po-01-196 minorities have greater long-term atrial fibrillation-free survival post ablation despite lower referral rates and higher incidence of baseline comorbidities
Significant differences in the incidence and management of atrial fibrillation (AF) have been observed based on patient sex and race. Women with AF tend to be older, have higher stroke/mortality risk, and receive catheter ablation less often than men, while racial minority patients paradoxically have lower prevalence of AF than nonminority patients despite a higher burden of traditional risk factors.
