Using @MedicareGov data, we show that 5% (n=187) of EP operators are #WomeninEP. % women was stagnant from 2013-2019. Total AF operators grew by +137%, yet women operators were unchanged (4%,n=46). #EPeeps @HRSonline how can we recruit/retain more #WomeninEP?

@UCSFCardiology @poojaprasad91 @HeartUCSF @LiviuKlein @UCSFHospitals @MarcSimonMD congrats @poojaprasad91!

Welcome Dr. @poojaprasad91 who joins #UCSFCardiology faculty in August. Dr. Prasad is a current UCSF Advanced Heart Failure fellow. We are excited to have her join the Advanced Heart Failure & Pulmonary Hypertension faculty! @HeartUCSF @LiviuKlein @UCSFHospitals @MarcSimonMD

@UCSFCardiology @akkratka @CaliforniaACC congrats @akkratka!

Congratulations 🎉 to Dr. Allison Kratka who was selected as the California ACC Fellow of the Year for 2023. #WomenInCardiology @akkratka @CaliforniaACC

Incredibly honored to be a 2023 ACC/ABC Merck Fellow with @dnarcisseMD and @wendywangmd. Thankful for my mentors @HsuePriscilla @AnubhaAgarwalMD @durstenfeld @kardiologykazi and many more, and to @ACCinTouch and @ABCardio1! @UCSF @UCSFCardiology @UCSF_CVfellows

Great #GLOWE program, even greater #WomeninEP! @HRSonline @BiosenseWebster

@satoshihgc @Ed_Gerst @UCSFCardiology @gregorymmarcus @SUNGILIM1 @Rvvenkat915 @BoatNoodleSoup Congratulations @satoshihgc!

Great honor to be awarded our PAC swine project as the 1st place in CES YIA competition(clinical) at HRS2023!! Thank you so much my great mentor @Ed_Gerst to be always with us! #HRS2023 #CESYIAcompetition @UCSFCardiology @gregorymmarcus @SUNGILIM1 @Rvvenkat915 @BoatNoodleSoup

#EPEEPS Much better stability using cryo with PVC elimination. Useful to consider focal cryo in these situations. Nice mapping by @StaceyHowellMD

What type of PAC is most useful for risk stratification of AF? – Pulmonary vein PACs were more likely to induce AF than other PACs, related to lower pulm vein AERPs @StaceyHowellMD @gregorymmarcus #AHAJournals #Epeeps ahajrnls.org/3DgxLXh

We showed that PAC frequency is the single most potent predictor of #Afib pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24297188/, but does the origin matter? @StaceyHowellMD used our HOLIDAY trial data to show: PACs delivered from the PVs ➡️#Afib > other LA or RA sites pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36688298/ @B_Naz_MD @UCSF

In a 🆕 episode of the Practice Made Perfect podcast, Drs. @utedrow, @StaceyHowellMD & @MaullyShah discuss the latest data in Cardiac EP: Plugged Pathway, Pay Gap & Underrepresentation of Women Operators w/ host Dr. @KTamirisaMD. bit.ly/3vZALTW #ACCWIC #Epeeps #ACCEP

@UCSFCardiology @colettedejong @UCSF @UCSF_CVfellows congrats Colette!!

Congratulations Dr. @colettedejong for her election to the board of the UCSF Gold-Headed Cane Society, which recognizes students and faculty from @UCSF who “exemplify the qualities of a true physician." Dr. DeJong was awarded membership in 2017 and elected to the board in 2022.

#ResearchLetter:A strategy of screening AF/AFL patients with LVH @OHSUSOM for ATTR-CM with Tc-99m PYP scans was low yield: only 1 patient (1.5%) was diagnosed with the disease. @poojaprasad91 @B_Naz_MD #AHAJournals ahajrnls.org/3OU4FSd

Proud of our fellows @poojaprasad91 and @StaceyHowellMD for this. While we need to stay vigilant for undiagnosed ATTR-CM, screening AF patients (even just those w LVH) is not the way. @MasriAhmadMD

Great to get out of the lab and experience the beauty of Marin with @HeartUCSF EP fellows. All great hikers too! @WongChrisX @DrRachitaEP @JamesETooley @StaceyHowellMD @BKheiriMD

Now that we are all comfortable with LVOT/summit/pap PVCs, have had several of these posteroseptal/crux ones lately that are quite challenging. This took HP RFA from both sides of septum, including 1/2 NS. Nice mapping by @StaceyHowellMD. Any #EPEEPS have experience with these?

@B_Naz_MD @UWCardiology @UWMedHeart @davegiraud Congrats @B_Naz_MD and @davegiraud!

Please to announce later this fall I'm moving my multi-disc VT program to @UWCardiology @UWMedHeart, my research laboratory to UW Applied Physics Laboratory / Center for Industrial & Medical Ultrasound, and my family back home to Seattle! @davegiraud #EPeeps (1/3)

Congratulations, Satoshi. . A good case for EP fundamentals

Another 🎉1st 🎉for our EP team. Drs. Randall Lee and @StaceyHowellMD implanted our first @AbbottCardio Amplatzer™ Amulet™ LAA Occluder device yesterday, with the help of structural @ucsf_echo colleagues. #EPeeps @UCSFCardiology

@OHSUCardFellows @BKheiriMD @mirmerrill @ryleprz @TimSimpsonMD @OHSUCardio Congrats friends!

Congratulations to our @OHSUCardFellows graduates! We wish @BKheiriMD @mirmerrill @ryleprz @TimSimpsonMD and Kris Kumar the best in their future careers as cardiologists. @OHSUCardio

@OHSUCardFellow @cmv040 @B_Naz_MD @sanghaimd congrats Chris & Uday!

Congrats to our graduating electrophysiology fellows Dr. Chris Verdick @cmv040 and Dr. Uday Sandhu. Thanks for teaching us how to localize an accessory pathway on a 12 lead ECG, how to ATP patients out of VT and how to keep smiling as a PGY-8 😄. @B_Naz_MD @sanghaimd
