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!

Masterfully written, with the wisdom of one who has worn many hats over his career @sacjai
My latest @Forbes post is a personal reflection on lessons learned so far trying to create change in healthcare. What are the unexpected lessons that you’ve learned? forbes.com/sites/sachinjain/…

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)

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...

Are your AF ablation patients looking for options to reduce stroke risk? The #OPTIONtrial might be an option. Learn more from @josoriomd @kevivek and @SaumilOzaMD who are actively enrolling patients. ow.ly/gyRP50x3G5A

Congrats to our MarinHealth team on the first FLX implant in the OPTION trial (OAC vs FLX post af ablation,1:1 randomization) in the west coast. #option #watchman #flx Great device, love seeing that trapped contrast in a proximal lobe.

Wish we could do a trial with PAINESD score as starting point for discrimination of risk. Excellent propensity score based analysis from @Dr_Santangeli sciencedirect.com/science/ar… – at South Carolina, USA

High-power (40-50W) PVI guided by unipolar signal modification safely decreases procedural burden (ablation time, acute PV reconnection) without altering 1-year outcomes. #AHAjournals ow.ly/8EbS50uy10P

All patients (and the general public) worldwide are welcome to join our “virtual town hall” later today to discuss #afib and its connection to stroke. Look forward to hearing your questions!
