Education Meets TikTok: Cardiac Surgeons Teach Patient Recovery in New Ways Doctors might feel out of their element making the videos, but patients respond to the short, informative reels.

"I felt crazy as a senior cardiac surgeon making TikTok videos," said Dan Engelman at #EACTS2025. "But it turns out that’s what people watch. . . . And they want the message in one minute, it turns out, or less." #CardioSky

Nearly Half of CABG Patients Have New-Onset AF, but It Often Doesn’t Last Data from implantable monitors show a low AF burden with time, leading some to question the need for oral anticoagulation.

"Given the known bleeding risk with oral anticoagulants, the very low AF burden questions current ESC guidelines recommending long-term oral anticoagulation," said Florian Herrmann. #EACTS2025 #CardioSky

SAVR Bests TAVI for 5-Year Survival in Combined RCT, Observational Data The findings sparked a debate about the merits of RCTs vs other study designs—one surgeon urged others to “read a textbook.”

My first story from #EACTS2025 dives into a unique analysis comparing 5-year TAVI vs SAVR mortality that provoked some strong feelings about what type of research should inform guidelines. #CardioSky

A page from JAMA, dated October 9, 2025, titled "Is There Really Something Different About Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery?" by Gregory M. Marcus, MD, MAS.

Editorial: Postoperative AF after cardiac surgery is often transient, with rare recurrence beyond 30 days, differing in pattern and risk from nonsurgical AF.

JAMA | Original Investigation: "Long-Term Continuous Monitoring of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting." Includes graphs of cumulative incidence and atrial fibrillation burden post-surgery.

Among patients with insertable cardiac monitors after CABG, the cumulative 1-year incidence of new-onset AF was 48%, yet median AF burden after 30 days was nearly zero.
