I was honored today to implant the first commercially released Medtronic 3930 defibrillator lead in the US. This small diameter lead is impressively reliable and can be placed in any desired location. We look forward to it changing the face of defibrillation. It was especially good to have Karyn Dobizl, the manager of the program and Mark Marshall, the engineer who was largely responsible for the design of the lead and the implementation of the program with me.
It was my honor to chair The Next Era of Pacing Summitt with Dr. Vijayaramen. Many thanks to the outstanding faculty: Nick Olson, Parik Sharma, Brett Atwater, Ryan Cunnane, Tom Callahan, Sean Pokorney and Ghanshyam Shantha as well as the outstanding Medtronic team.
100% of Democrats voted in one direction. The republicans fractured. This lack of discipline is really problematic.

Providing specialized care and performing CIED interrogation in distant rural areas is challenging. Use of an assisted reality device could overcome these difficulties and bring much needed EP attention to underserved communities.

There are no words that capture the full depth of our sadness at the loss of our friend Santosh Padala. He passed yesterday from a cardiac arrest suffered during exercise. He was a fellow in 2014 and faculty in 2017. His enthusiasm was infectious. He will be missed by so many.
Congratulations to Dr. Prashanthan Sanders of the University of Adelaide for the implantation of the first lead in the Medtronic LEADR study. This is the study of a novel very small diameter lead that features a central flexible cable. It will involve up to 500 patients.
Again...the beauty of the incredible technology that we have today. This far left lateral/left anterior pathway would have been doable but very difficult without this open window mapping. With it, one burn got the pathway immediately.
The real beauty of electroanatomical mapping. Mapping a disabling EAT to an English pea sized focus.
I got my vaccine today. Smart public policy supporting science and federal support of inciteful logistics made this possible. Without this we would be delayed another 6-8 month and would have hundreds of thousands more deaths.
GET YOUR VACCINE AS SOON AS IT IS AVAILABLE!

AF is more than just about stroke. Important study showing the risk of HF related to LA dysfunction.
