Course Overview

In this hour-long session, we will delve into the recent medical journal article ‘Recruited Macrophages Elicit Atrial Fibrillation.’ The session will begin with an overview of the article, including the study’s hypothesis, methodology, key findings, and implications.

Attendees will then engage in a collaborative discussion to critically analyse the study’s design, results, and clinical relevance. Key questions include how the findings may influence our understanding of atrial fibrillation pathophysiology and its potential impact on therapeutic strategies.

The aim of this course is to foster an exchange of ideas among residents and specialists, enhance critical appraisal skills, and bridge the gap between research findings and clinical application.

Seize the opportunity to explore groundbreaking research with fellow residents and a panel of renowned specialists in the field!
