I won’t be looking at Twitter anymore as it’s no longer a nice place to be. You can find me on other social medium platforms if you like 👋

Focal left atrial tachycardia terminated by a single 90W burn (4s) using QDOT. Immensely satisfying!

@HMellMac @NHSGrampian It is still on the wall in the cardiac department, just in the departmental corridor rather than the waiting room. It was moved in the latest art rotation, but it is still on display. It’s about 10m away from where it was.

This is why we ablate VT

📅 SAVE THE DATE! 📅 #BHRSessions 4th - 6th March 2025 @ RCP in Edinburgh. In addition to our main 3-day conference, don't miss the bolt-on training sessions on Monday 3rd. This member-only event offers essential education & updates for all arrhythmia professionals and trainees.

Macro re-entrant right atrial tachycardia mapped with Octaray & Carto 8. Interesting circuit located just above the IVC. @AdemK0C

@CPearman_EP That you put your His channels the wrong way round on the screen!

Lovely classical EP case. BCT on Holter and on arrival in the lab. What observations can you make from this single screenshot?

Summit VE with successful ablation in the distal coronary sinus. Used Optrell for mapping, but it was the ablation catheter, advanced deep into the CS that gave us the answer.

Lots of good replies, some of which are right! It is typical flutter with a very long, spontaneous, RR gap. As the defib only sees small amplitude signal it automatically increases the gain by 8x. The result is that the same p waves, now look like 1:1 flutter. Easy to mistake!

What is happening here? A very good educational trace from an external defib.

Right atrial tachycardia mapped with 🐙. Interesting conduction delay but focal origin.

Odd to be travelling 250 miles south, to attend an event called ‘North VT’, but enjoying the views of the real North East as I go.

Left atrial map collected with Optrell & Carto 8 shows a prior roof line (with a gap) and an intact floor line. Clear transition from red to purple in this small territory, including a transition zone. Really enjoying getting to grips with this new technology.

@pope_mtb @BirkhoelzerS @JNJMedTechUKIr Excellent! No mechanical ectopy and very clear signals.

@BenWilesEP @BirkhoelzerS @JNJMedTechUKIr And how was it?

Absolutely delighted to be the first UK 🇬🇧 user of the Optrell. A proud day for the Electrophysiology service in Aberdeen. #Multipolar #Confidense #Gamechanger @JNJMedTechUKIr

Optrell is finally here… @BenWilesEP @JNJMedTechUKIr @jjmt_ep #epeeps #optrell #multipolar @JNJMedTechUKIr @jjmt_ep

@VeraLennie @ScotCardio @russeverett3 I’m banning the faculty this year! Trainees only as it was too embarassing that @russeverett3 won last year. 🤣

@BenWilesEP @ScotCardio @russeverett3 Not looking forward to participating this year @BenWilesEP but I am sure it will be filled with entertainment, some bad jokes and lots of learning.

On the train to Edinburgh; applying the finishing touches to my talks for the @ScotCardio ST4 Training Course. Welcome to Cardiology in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 new trainees! I can only apologise for how hard the ECG quiz is. Remember it’s the taking part that counts 🤣 @russeverett3 @VeraLennie

@realstusmith @ScotCardio @russeverett3 @VeraLennie @Tina2310 Marketings Player of The Month? He’d smash it 💥

@BenWilesEP @ScotCardio @russeverett3 @VeraLennie How would @Tina2310 fair?

@DrDavidWarriner @gasdoc2857 Our anaesthetists get looked after very well in EP! Congratulations Andy - now let’s get you through to 45 years.

@gasdoc2857 What? Cardiologists being kind to their anaesthetic colleagues?!?! Say it ain’t so!

Great surprise when I arrived in the Cath Lab for today’s EP list Thanks everyone
