The Link Between Rapid Weight Loss and Arrhythmia: A Comprehensive Analysis
The Link Between Rapid Weight Loss and Arrhythmia: A Comprehensive Analysis On August 27, 2024, researchers highlighted the intricate relationship between weight management and heart health, emphasizing that while weight loss is beneficial, shedding pounds too quickly may lead to severe cardiac complications. The study suggests that rapid weight loss can trigger a cascade of […]
Edoxaban Monotherapy Triumphs in AF and Stable Coronary Disease: Insights from EPIC-CAD
Edoxaban Monotherapy Triumphs in AF and Stable Coronary Disease: Insights from EPIC-CAD The EPIC-CAD trial has provided compelling evidence that for patients with high-risk atrial fibrillation (AF) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD), the optimal treatment strategy involves the use of anticoagulation monotherapy, specifically Edoxaban, rather than a combination therapy that includes antiplatelet agents. This […]
