The CHAMPION trial does not forward the story of LAAO. No difference for major bleeding. No difference in all bleeding when procedural bleeding is included. Numerically worse for stroke. About 60% are CHADSVASC 2/3 WHO DON'T NEED OCCLUSION if ablation successful. #OCEAN

.@hrs_journal AI is rapidly reshaping electrophysiology—from prediction to procedural guidance to ablation strategy. 🧵Here are 3 recent studies in @hrs_journal highlighting how AI may impact: • AF prediction from ECGs • Substrate-guided ablation outcomes • Conduction system pacing precision
