🫀From Healthy Atria to Atrial Failure: Rethinking Atrial Cardiomyopathy (AtCM) from the #HFA_ESC clinical consensus statement: 📍AtCM extends beyond #AF: Electrical, mechanical & structural abnormalities may precede clinically apparent AF or #HeartFailure 📍Diagnosis: Electrical atrial dysfunction (P-wave score ≥1) PLUS ≥1 of: mechanical dysfunction, atrial enlargement or excessive atrial fibrosis 📍Proposed diagnostic thresholds: - P-wave ≥120 ms (standard ECG) or ≥150 ms (amplified ECG) - Advanced interatrial block: P-wave ≥120 ms + biphasic morphology in ≥2 inferior leads - LA reservoir strain <23% - LAVi >40 mL/m² (>48 mL/m² in women >65 years) - Atrial fibrosis: thresholds pending validation 📍New P-wave scoring system (0–4): Ranges from normal P-wave (0), prolonged P-wave (1), advanced interatrial block without (2) or with paroxysmal arrhythmia (3), to persistent atrial arrhythmia (4). 📍Atrial failure: End-stage AtCM, characterized by persistent AF or HF with symptoms attributable to atrial disease. 📍Early recognition matters! Risk factor & comorbidity management may help prevent or delay progression to atrial failure. Read more in #EJHF @EJHFEiC 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/ejhf.3782 @escardio @h_arfsten @GTersalvi @jozinetm

Day 2 in Naples at the HFA Clinical Trials in Heart Failure Course 2026!🫀📊 Today we dive deeper into how we design better #HeartFailure trials: 📍Alternative trial designs, subgroups, repeat events & win ratio 📍Focus on outcome analysis 📍Trials across special HF populations & interventions 📍Big data, AI, pragmatic RCTs & target trial emulation From the fundamentals to the evolving science of clinical trial design, another full day of learning, discussion & exchange. 🔗 Read more: esc365.escardio.org/event/26…⁠ #HFA_ESC #ClinicalTrials @escardio @WilfriedMullens @GianluSava @FaiezZANNAD @NicolasGirerd @LucaMonzo @_antocannata @JustinEzekowitz @markcpetrie20 @cristina_gavina

Quick visit to the 2026 National Cardiology Congress! Superstars in Sinaia @GMCRosano, @AndrewPAmbrosy, and so many, many more. Kudos to Prof Chioncel and everyone involved in making everything so amazingly well organised And @hfayoungro getting the recognition for all hard work

From clinical questions to well-designed clinical trials🫀📊 The #HFA_ESC Clinical Trials in Heart Failure Course 2026 is underway in Naples, bringing together clinicians & researchers interested in advancing clinical investigation in #HeartFailure. Across three days, participants explore trial design, regulatory requirements & key statistical methods, while developing the skills to critically interpret evidence from randomized controlled trials & meta-analyses.

What an incredible #ESCCongress 2026! ❤️ 33,800+ participants, inspiring science, ideas and connections from around the world. Huge thanks to our volunteers, SoMe Ambassadors, staff & everyone behind the scenes for making it so special! Thank you, Munich, See you in Milan! 🇮🇹

Four days of science, conversations & connections, & so many moments worth sharing!🫀🎤✨ That’s a wrap for #ESCMotions at #ESCCongress! Thank you for being part of the journey❤️ From pretzels & schnitzel to pasta in Milan, auf Wiedersehen München & ciao, Milano! 🥨🇩🇪➡️🇮🇹 🍝 @escardio @rafavidalperez @drmilicaa @SMosteoru @corneliacrm @SotiriaLiori @Massimi78530343 @_antocannata @HanCardiomd @Sarah_Moharem

Congratulations to the new @escardio Board 👏 It’s striking to see the gender balance. But representation is about professional diversity too. Opening voting for Board elections to all ESC members, rather than only selected representatives from associations and national societies, could help build a Board that better reflects the full cardiovascular workforce.

Wait… what do ESC Young Professionals Chair @cfcamm & our #ESCMotions teammate @rafavidalperez do in their free time at #ESCCongress? 👀 Practise saving lives, of course! 🫀🙌 We caught them brushing up on their resuscitation skills at the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) CPR workshop station in Hall B1! Want to join the action? 📍Hall B1 📍FREE, 90-minute hands-on BLS & ALS refresher workshops 📍Practise with expert instructors; from high-quality CPR & AED use to teamwork during resuscitation 📍ERC certificate of attendance provided after the congress Still time to join today, 30 August: 🫀BLS: 14:00-15:30 🫀ALS: 16:00-17:30 Places are limited, with final registration on-site on a first-come, first-served basis. Bring your teamwork; & give those lifesaving skills a workout! 💪 Full programme & pre-registration: escardio.org/events/congress… #ESCMotions #ESCCongress @escardio @corneliacrm @_antocannata @KardiologieHH @DrMarthaGulati @SMosteoru @Massimi78530343 @drmilicaa @jozinetm @Sarah_Moharem
