CAAN-AF Trial #CHRD @adelaide87018 Our previous meta-analysis of observational studies suggested CRT patients with AF had a significant 58% reduction in all-cause mortality with AV node ablation - jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.… We designed the CAAN AF Trial supported by the @nhmrc and critical industry partners - in order of support @bostonsci @AbbottNews @Medtronic @MicroPort - Methodology paper - heartrhythmopen.com/article/… CAAN AF Trial: doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/eh… RCT showing no benefit in the routine use of AV node ablation

Presented at #AHA25: In patients with atrial fibrillation after successful ablation, rivaroxaban therapy did not lead to a significantly lower incidence of a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or new covert embolic stroke than aspirin therapy.

⚠️ Know the difference: #Suddencardiacarrest (SCA) isn't a heart attack — it's when your heart's electrical system suddenly fails, stopping your heartbeat instantly. Without immediate action, brain damage or death can occur within minutes. This is why recognizing the signs of SCA and knowing #CPR can save a life.
