It’s been simply an honor to have Dr. Fawzi Zghyer and Dr. Harsh Patolia lead our fellowship for the past year. We owe these outgoing chiefs an enormous debt of gratitude, and are so lucky they chose to stay at CCF for their advanced training!

In 1983 Gerard Guiraudon described surgical disarticulation of the RV free wall to treat VT in ARVC. We recently found this to be feasible also with endocardial PFA. More to come #HRS2025 heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-… @alankiangmd @MandeepBhargava @CleClinicHVTI

It’s always a masters-class when @Dr_Santangeli decides to give us a talk about VT, epicardial access, and localization @venumenon10 @RanLeeMD @AndrewHigginsMD @omwazni @CleClinicHVTI #CCFCardsFam

With up to 32% early post-procedural mortality, VT ablation in the emergency setting is among the highest risk procedures in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery. Read the Vanderbilt experience (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) and our commentary (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) @shivkumarmd

Rising second year stars Devora Lichtman and Zachary Sporn received the J-31 CICU fellows of the year award! 🥇An honor highlighting their exemplary behavior, dedication, and team-work at the bedside!

Very humbling case of cardiac mass presenting with PVCs and VT. Check out our manuscript for final diagnosis which required endomyocardial biopsy. #echofirst #multimodality #whyCMR #ThinkPET authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S26…
