Coffee increases PVCs but not PACs! Congrats to @gregorymmarcus on a nice, practical study. I managed to participate / though giving up that daily coffee wasn’t easy!

Join the Center for Research on People of Color for the first annual Kathleen Hickey Endowed Lectureship in Science of Cardiovascular Care. It will be held virtually on February 17th, 2022 from 4pm to 5pm featuring Dr. Hasan Garan. Register: bit.ly/3JIbmnc

Ten days ago, I was hit by a vehicle crossing the street as a pedestrian. I reflect on the harrowing experience in my @Forbes blog. www-forbes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.forbes…

Live case with @BiosenseWebster Varipulse PFA technology - great integration with the mapping system with ability to track catheter position and avoid fluoroscopy

@ElaineWanMD Actually NICM, LBBB and ICD with ATP/shocks. The diagnosis was prob a fascicular VT rather than bundle branch reentry VT based on the HVs, but fun to think about slightly shorter HV during VT with BBR VT due to asymmetric ante and retro conduction times? Too sick to prove.

@kevivek Good you put the His catheter in. Structurally normal heart?

#EPeeps may all our most complex arrhythmias this week turn out to be this.

@Ed_Gerst Psaf so heterogenous (we need to fine tune subtypes). But lspaf with dilation /scar I think it’s a good lesion set in CF and high power era. Often see noninducibility, and in our data 22% redos (~2 years), a starting gambit. If others do less though- I don’t think it’s wrong :)

@kevivek So if you do perform PW isolation R U always doing mitral isthmus line? Seems the only remaining path is mitral flutter. But not sure prophylactic line is always warranted.

Pt referred for repeat RFA for flutter. 1 prior AF RF done at OH for recent persistent AF: PVI, PWiso, septum, base of LAA, CS. Baseline voltage map shown. Had septal and CL mitral flutter. How much is too much for a first ablation??Not sure a scorched atrium approach always best

@NishantVermaMD @Ed_Gerst @DrBradleyKnight @NMCardioVasc Thanks for the invite, and wonderful job putting this series together!

Thanks to @kevivek for your talk at #EPFellowsConference- Cell and Tissue EP for the Clinical Electrophysiologist: youtu.be/U7BFcz0vex4 Join us 6/19 at 9AM EST (note the time) @Ed_Gerst-How to Use Electroanatomic Mapping. @DrBradleyKnight @NMCardioVasc

interesting paper from Sinai colleagues demonstrating evidence of myocardial inflammation in patients with MVP, even those who are asymptomatic

Masterfully written, with the wisdom of one who has worn many hats over his career @sacjai

Congratulations to @50wattdoc and team. 👏👏👏 A 4-year follow-up history w HPSD. The 4-year freedom from AF after multiple ablations were PAF: 87.0%, per AF: 71.9% and LSPAF: 64.9%. Single procedure success was 74.9% for TactiCath™ and 64.7% for SmartTouch®(P<0.001)

@EPWoodsShop @SergioPinski @dredcronin Mechanism is likely APD shortening as APs achieve new steady state. The mechanism of restitution depends on different currents in atrium, HPS, ventricle

@EPWoodsShop @SergioPinski @dredcronin I think Dr. Masood Akhtar may have been the first to use this term, but correct me if someone was earlier! ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.116…

Fatigue? In the right bundle branch. #ECG #Cardiology

Here is a look at the planned upcoming #EPFellowsConference lectures. So far, people have committed though September so we'll keep it going as long as we can! @AndreaRussoEP @DrBradleyKnight @paulzei @True_EP

When it comes to re-opening, SCIENCE -- not politics -- must be California's guide. CA has developed 6 indicators that will help guide how and when we decide to re-open our economy. This isn’t about an on/off switch. This will be a thoughtful process -- led by public health...

Eloquent and timely (first post ever) from Simran Singh, from the front lines at Cornell. Thanks for a sharing (and welcome to Twitter)
