Great case with @JorgeI_Hernand. Patient with de novo flutter not quite what I was expecting. Orion @RhythmiaMedical map was very efficient. Scar related to aorta/HTN presumably? Would your lesion set look different? #EPeeps

Redo PVI. First glance rights reconnected and voltage suggested need for redo WACA. Noted wide doubles in most places and “open” activation told the story. Single🔥isolation. #EPeeps thanks to @jcoop556 for the mapping prowess

Can I retweet my own tweet? CMS proposes another cut to reimbursement? Do we have any lobbying? @HRSonline
Sad and pitiful lobbying effort on behalf of cardiac electrophysiologists by @HRSonline, @ACCinTouch, and industry. Count me out on membership renewal. @MehdiRazavi13 @RajeshVenkatar5 @BurklandMD @DarthAblater @abdi_rasekh

OctaRay has been primarily marketed as an atrial mapping catheter, but I think it may be undersold in it's role in the ventricle. 2Fr splines, much softer than PentaRay with noticeably less ectopy. Rapid mapping and beautiful signals using indwelling reference electrode.

Patient with long standing persistent AF on uninterrupted Warfarin with therapeutic INR, came in for catheter ablation today. No prior TEE. Worth watching!

New ACC Consensus Document on Antithrombotic therapy for PCI in the setting of AF/VTE. DOAC + clopidogrel (and PPI) preferred out to 1yr then DOAC alone.

The results of EAST finally turn the page on AFFIRM...AFFIRM treated later stage patients and found no difference in mortality. EAST tells us not to let the disease progress.
#EAST AF presented at @escardio today and published in @NEJM The most significant AF study since AFFIRM and CABANA Early rhythm control results in less CV death+stroke+HF hospitalisation +ACS Excellent editorial by @TJaredBunch

Continuing our focus on questioning the status quo, here is our meta-analysis of what constitutes a « normal » holter. Surprisingly little data informs what we consider to be a normal (or abnormal) test. Which is a little bit corncerning given the ubiquitous use of this test.

This episode starts innocently enough. AP/VS until a PVC comes with probably retrograde conduction. There are other PVCs with a similar finding

1. Simple speaking spreads Covid-19 to others & deposits it on surfaces 2. You can spread virus before becoming symptomatic 3. You may have the virus & be asymptotic Everyone must wear a mask in public. Save "real masks" for HC workers If you dont & sew they are hard to make.
