@ShinoKany @JACCJournals Dear Shino, congratulations. Nice observation. What about people who are just slim without doing exercise, e.g. just eating healthy ?

I am excited to share our latest study published @JACCJournals Adv. We found that meeting guideline-recommended physical activity (PA) levels—whether as a “weekend warrior” or via regular activity—is linked to lower visceral and pericardial fat. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

ETH Zurich ranks 12th in the world out of 200 universities in 31 countries in the Times Higher Education Reputation Rankings. brnw.ch/21wQLOg

🚨 Now Open Access in @ESC_Journals! 🚨 Our research shows that hibernating myocardium is linked to a lower risk of major arrhythmic events & LVEF improvement in ischemic cardiomyopathy. Findings from PET/CT imaging. 📖 doi.org/10.1093/ehjci/… 📝 w/ @domcbenz & @ASaguner

@AndreasMetzner7 @uke @AndreasRillig @laura_rottner @chris_sohns @jongichun Great case. Any issues with vasospasm close to the anulus?

🤜#Affera @UKE Hamburg: Ischemic VT - big and effective ablation lesions at an infero-basal substrate using the #SPHERE9 catheter. An effective option for extensive substrates. There is a lot more to learn.🫀🙏 @AndreasRillig @laura_rottner @chris_sohns @jongichun

@Iigosainz1 Great case. How do you manage anticoagulation?

First case in our community of Epicardial VT Ablation supported by the impella system. Patient with advanced ischemic heart disease. The system allows the patient to tolerate tachycardia and it can be studied.#EPeeps,#ablateVT

@EPWaveDoc @LaredoMikael @CHUM972 @RomainVergier @ArashArya_EP @Czimbalmoscs1 @AGEP_DGK @rythmo_sfc I think you can try the EV-ICD and then see how he/his arrhythmias evolve. There are plenty of options to control VT in ACM…

@ASaguner @LaredoMikael @CHUM972 @RomainVergier @ArashArya_EP @Czimbalmoscs1 @AGEP_DGK @rythmo_sfc Important remark, thank you! It was the first VT of this patient. In the best case there won’t be many more. But I still agree that a TV-ICD is a good option. Would this be your preferred solution?

52 yo gentleman w/o previous medical history presented to the #EmergencyRoom with palpitations and lightheadedness. What’s the likely diagnosis? #Epeeps #Cardiotwitter? Poll👇

@EPWaveDoc @LaredoMikael @CHUM972 @RomainVergier @ArashArya_EP @Czimbalmoscs1 @AGEP_DGK @rythmo_sfc ATP with the EV ICD can be very painful.

@LaredoMikael @CHUM972 @RomainVergier @ASaguner @ArashArya_EP @Czimbalmoscs1 @AGEP_DGK @rythmo_sfc Good question, Mika! A conventional trans-venous ICD would be a good option too. In this case I see an advantage for the EV ICD as it’s a very young patient (my age 😉) w VT probably manageable w ATP plus he has an RV thrombus. Anticoagulation has been started. What do you think?

@JACCJournals I very much hope that they cited our first-in-man SBRT with MR Linac at the University Hospital Zurich published in 2019 in the Red Journal

Patients with refractory septal VT, a high burden of CV comorbidities, or previous failure of catheter ablation may be treated with MRgSTAR. Further studies needed. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCCEP #EPeeps #epAblation

@rachelkaplanmd @JRWinterfield @MDT_Cardiac @MUSC_EP @KaczmarekMD Termination of AT with PFA is nice, but often just an electrotonic effect such as cardioversion rather than blocking the isthmus…

Great atypical flutter case mapping and ablating with @MDT_Cardiac Affera and Sphere9! One zap termination! @MUSC_EP @KaczmarekMD

@nickkotch @BSCCardiology It will probably reconnect and can also cause complete AVB…

What are y’all’s approaches to mitral flutter with PFA? Redo case presenting in mitral AFL. Placed anterior line due to presence of some scar. Basket config near valve then flower once further up once able to get catheter to lay flat against tissue. @BSCCardiology #farapulse #EPeeps

@CTECresearch @FrancescoPaneni @UZH_en @CardioZurich @Unispital_USZ Congratulations Francesco! Well deserved!
