Both #OCEAN and #OPTION show strong evidence supporting the role of #afib #ablation in lowering the risk of stroke in #afib! Agree with “most important finding” statement by @kaulcsmc ! @atulverma_md @omwazni @drjohnm @DrRoderickTung @PrashSanders
Replying to @kaulcsmc

Lower event rates than expected and optimistic delta render the trial results INCONCLUSIVE!
Most important finding: Stroke rate is very low post successful a fib ablation in patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score: 2.2 and no other high-risk factors for stroke.
Coffee abstinence is frequetly advocated in AF patients. But is it the correct strategy?
#Decaf study at #AHA25 demonstrated abstinence INCREASES recurence of AF post cardioversion.
