I’ve been hooked up to a 24hr ambulatory ECG for the past day to monitor my heart rhythm. It’s only three leads (all on the chest) so not uncomfortable under loose clothing. The sticky pads are much bigger and softer than the ones used for a regular ECG and the leads attach with a popper, not a clip. The recording device looks like a pager with a long lead so it’s easy to keep in a pocket or clip onto clothing. All in all a very easy experience so far.

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Coffee Stifles Atrial Fibrillation Conventional wisdom implicates caffeine as a trigger for cardiac arrhythmias. Not so, at least for atrial fibrillation, concludes the so-called DECAF study, an acronym for Does Eliminating Coffee Avoid Fibrillation? Headed by cardiologists from UC-San Francisco and Australia’s University of Adelaide, this clinical trial studied 200 adults with atrial fibrillation. Subjects were randomly assigned to drink at least one cup of caffeinated coffee or avoid caffeine entirely for six months. Those who drank coffee daily show 39% fewer AFib episodes. The investigators suggest multiple reasons for this beneficial effect: caffeine may stimulate increased physical activity, caffeine is a mild diuretic that could lower blood pressure, and coffee contains natural compounds that may reduce inflammation. If this study is confirmed, those with a history of atrial fibrillation, rather than avoiding all caffeinated coffee intake, might benefit from moderate intake of daily “joe.” https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251110021046.htm https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2841253 #AF #atrialfibrillation #coffee #caffeine #arrthymias"

A groundbreaking study has found that moderate coffee consumption may have a positive impact on atrial fibrillation. Researchers from UC-San Francisco and Australia's University of Adelaide discovered that daily coffee drinkers experienced 39% fewer AFib episodes compared to those who avoided caffeine entirely. The study suggests that caffeine may stimulate physical activity, lower blood pressure, and reduce inflammation, making it a potential beneficial factor in heart health. Could a daily cup of coffee be the key to reducing AFib risk?

Good Idea: Drink some Coffee?

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2841253

A world-first clinical trial found that drinking at least one cup of coffee daily significantly reduced the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heartbeat linked to stroke and heart failure, challenging long-held medical advice to avoid caffeine for heart health. The study, involving 200 adults with AF, showed coffee drinkers had a 39% lower risk of recurrent AF events compared to abstainers, suggesting coffee may be protective rather than harmful. Researchers propose that coffee's benefits may stem from increased physical activity, lower blood pressure, and anti-inflammatory properties. While coffee isn't a cure-all, the findings indicate it can be safely enjoyed by AF patients and may even warrant consideration for non-drinkers.

Adjunctive Left Atrial Posterior Wall Isolation in Treating Non-Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: An Updated Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

Background: The clinical outcomes of adjunctive posterior wall isolation (PWI) beyond pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unclear. This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the role of PWI in non-paroxysmal AF by pooled analysis of most updated randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: A literature search in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed to identify RCTs comparing the outcomes of PVI with and without PWI in non-paroxysmal AF patients. The primary outcomes were recurrence rates of all atrial arrhythmias, AF, and atrial tachycardia/flutter (AT/AFL). The secondary outcomes included total procedure time, ablation time, fluoroscopy time and procedure-related complications. Estimated risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated. Results: Nine RCTs with a total of 1,243 non-paroxysmal AF patients were included in our analysis. There were no significant differences in all atrial arrhythmias recurrence (RR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.66–1.11, p = 0.24, I 2 = 49%) and AF recurrence (RR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.51–1.08, p = 0.12, I 2 = 62%) between stand-alone PVI group and PVI plus PWI group. Adjunctive PWI increased the AT/AFL recurrence rate (RR: 1.62 95% CI: 1.08–2.42, p = 0.02, I 2 = 0%). In the subgroup analysis, PWI using cryoballoon ablation was associated with a significantly lower recurrence rate of all atrial arrhythmias ( p = 0.01) and AF ( p = 0.02) recurrence and similar recurrence rate of AT/AFL ( p = 0.15). Additional PWI was associated with an increased AT/AFL recurrence ( p = 0.03) in patients with left atrial diameter (LAD) <44 mm. Adjunctive PWI needed longer ablation time, fluoroscopy time, and total procedure time. The incidence of procedural adverse events was low and similar between both groups. Conclusion: Adjunctive PWI beyond PVI did not improve the freedom from all atrial arrhythmias and AF with an increased recurrence rate of AT/AFL in non-paroxysmal AF patients. The ablation energy and LAD might affect the clinical outcome of PWI. However, larger more RCTs were needed to verify our findings.
