“We found no evidence of a near-term relationship between caffeine consumption & atrial fibrillation," Dr. @gregorymmarcus says of a UCSF study on possible triggers of #afib. "In contrast, alcohol consumption most consistently exhibited heightened risks."

New study in @CircAHA shows #AI-based analysis of 12-lead #ECG has similar predictive utility to a clinical risk factor model for incident #AFib and both approaches are complementary.
