You too can make ablate and pace (CSP) an elegant procedure, approx 1hr procedure time. Make pocket. Get access. Place lead. Ablate from pocket. Add atrial lead. (If necessary) Tie down lead(s). Irrigate. Attach device and tie down. Close pocket. h/t @SergioPinski

Posterior wall ablation ≠ posterior wall isolation. And it’s easy to map. We all have pretty post-ablation maps. New rule: required, if you’re sharing one on X or LinkedIn, show the scale and settings.

Pradaxa is generic. Industry won't tell you, for obvious reasons. Dabigatran 150 mg, 60 caps: $23.80 at Cost Plus. We swap AF patients to warfarin over cost. We push LAAO without knowing it's better. A $24/mo generic reframes both. #AFib #Anticoagulation #EPeeps #LAAO

Transventricular VT Ablation Guided by LBBAP Lead in a Patient With Mechanical Double Valve Replacement Thank you very much for your inspiration @drtopaloglu @ACH_epteam @ozcanozeke @ElifhandeMD @drfiratozcan

Love the poster sessions at #HRS2025 Highlight was this MacGyver solution to DF-4 ICD lead downgrade to CRT-P problem. Since industry won't give us adapters, we have to get creative. 5mm Uni to IS-1 adapter with cut lead cap as insulator turns DF-4 ICD lead into unipolar pacing lead. -- Woo et al, including my friend and NP superstar Kelly Bergen. #HRS2025

🔥 LBCT #EHRA2025 Heart Sync-LBBP CRT vs LBBP in systolic #HF: prospective, RCT 200 pts, 1:1 ⭐️LBBP bests BiVp for: ♥️ narrower QRS duration ♥️ primary endpoint of combined #HF death as well as 2ndry individual endpoints (mostly male, nonischemic, ⬇️ mortality)

Imagine if your patients had their implant cards sent to their #iPhone immed’ly after their #RadialFirst coronary stent or #TAVR? Implants stored forever with legible, durable, transferable data that may prove essential. Stent size/length & serial number on back!

The long-term incidence of stroke in AF is low, especially after ablation of paroxysmals. Stroke scores are from another era and were not developed or validated in this population: CHADSVASC was derived from 20-year old data with ONE YEAR of follow-up. The treatment effect of statins, BP control, and reduced risk of HF may be contributing more to fewer strokes in AF. Recent AF screening trials have all shown stroke event rates lower than historical. We need a clever and cautious way to redefine risk stroke in contemporary AF patients before assuming that the historical reduction is all from therapy. #AHA24
