Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in adults1 and is associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, cognitive decline, hospitalizations, and death.2–6 Oral anticoagulation (OAC) significantly reduces the risk of stroke in patients with AF.7,8 Early rhythm-control strategies have also been shown to be associated with a lower risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared with initial rate-control strategies.9 Importantly, it has been...

Abstract (English) In the dynamic field of medical artificial intelligence (AI), cardiology stands out as a key area for its technological advancements and clinical application. This review explores the complex issue of data bias, specifically addressing those encountered during the development and implementation of AI tools in cardiology. We dissect the origins and impacts of these biases, which challenge their reliability and widespread applicability in healthcare.

ABSTRACT: Inherited arrhythmia disorders account for a significant proportion of sudden cardiac death, particularly among young individuals. Recent advances in our understanding of these syndromes have improved patient diagnosis and care, yet certain clinical gaps remain, particularly within case ascertainment, access to genetic testing and risk stratification.
