DGK Heart Days 2025
This year marked a milestone for AFNET — our very first booth at the DGK Heart Days in Hamburg.
AF burden on early rhythm control modulates patient outcomes
An analysis of patient-operated ECGs from the EAST – AFNET 4 trial revealed: A low AF burden below 6% in the first year of early rhythm control therapy was associated with low cardiovascular event rates during the subsequent 4 years of follow-up. Patients with a higher AF burden on early rhythm control suffered more AF-related events. Today the findings were presented by AFNET board member Prof. Ulrich Schotten, Maastricht University, in a hotline session at the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in Madrid (1,2).
Anticoagulation in patients with device-detected atrial fibrillation remains individual decision
A Win Ratio analysis confirmed the primary result of the NOAH – AFNET 6 trial and did not find an advantage of anticoagulation with edoxaban over no anticoagulation in patients with device-detected atrial fibrillation. Clinical decisions should therefore be guided by individual factors. The findings were presented by Dr. Nina Becher, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), Hamburg, Germany, in a hotline session at the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in Madrid.
