📖 A new comprehensive protocol for recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) ablation resulted in arrhythmia-free survival at 1-year in 53% of patients. None of the ablation protocol’s steps were suggested to independently improve procedural success ⬇️ onlinecjc.ca/article/S0828-… #CJC

Sharing what we hope is an important paper in #SHOCK out today in @NEJMEvidence by @JungRichardG (who just matched to cardiology!). Prognostic Factors Associated with Mortality in Cardiogenic Shock — A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis | NEJM Evidence evidence.nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

We clearly need more dedicated #CICU trials of #VTstorm to learn how to treat these patients. It's like early days of cardiogenic shock. With @fdanielramirez we are doing the SEDATE trial looking at Precedex up front for treatment of VT storm and have started recruiting.

#VTstorm is a common problem in #CICU #critcarecardio. SGB is purported to be a treatment for this condition. @_profmota reports in @SciReports @NaturePortfolio an overview of data supporting this strategy. rdcu.be/dXBn0 for the open access PDF

How can we improve #POCUS utility and democratize application - #AI augmentation! Both senior and novice scanners can rapidly and accurately measure and classify LVEF across clinical settings (echo lab, ward, ED, ICU).

Newest DOREMI substudy from @benhibbertMDPhD's lab in @CJCJournals 🚨 - led by @fdanielramirez where we reveal 48% in those with cardiogenic shock had arrhythmic events while on inotropes with increased odds of mortality. #Cardio onlinecjc.ca/article/S0828-…

Our latest from the @benhibbertMDPhD lab, published in @Open_HeartBMJ. AF is highly predictive of adverse outcomes following coronary revascularization. AF is a stronger predictor of MACE than traditional risk factors ie T2DM/reduced LVEF in this study. bit.ly/3SeOzn7

Latest publication alert 🚨 from @benhibbertMDPhD's lab at @JACCJournals - we demonstrate that PAI-1 extracellular vesicles are biomarkers for MACE in CAD. Also, PAI-1 EV modulates the proinflammatory vascular SMC phenotype opening a target for ISR. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Even @McLarenF1 #F1 wanted to congratulate you @JungRichardG. Simply outstanding PhD and excited about all the work to come. @danielricciardo @LandoNorris

Great work led by @AgustinBortone (now on Twitter). Thankful for the opportunity to be involved
