I’m happy to share our new article published in IJC Heart & Vasculature - Repurposing catheter ablation work-up to detect expiratory airflow limitation in patients with atrial fibrillation 🫀🫁 ➡️ This study confirms that expiratory airflow limitation is common and frequently overlooked in AF patients scheduled for ablation. ➡️ Signs of COPD present at cardiac CT can be used to identify patients with expiratory airflow limitation, while lack thereof is highly specific to exclude patients. ➡️ This novel insight has the potential to utilize existing resources from the pre-ablation work-up to facilitate spirometry prioritization. Please find our study here: https://lnkd.in/eZrpzhKv Many thanks to the co-authors: Rachel van der Velden Nora El Moussaoui Dominique Verhaert Zarina Habibi Justin Luermans Dennis den Uijl Marisevi Chaldoupi Kevin Vernooy Mathias Baumert Hester van Piggelen-Gietema Casper Mihl Frits Franssen Sami Simons Dominik Linz
