In the randomized LOOP study, AF screening resulted in the coincidental diagnosis of sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular block in 1 of 5 participants, along with increased pacemaker implantations, but no change in risk of syncope or sudden death. ja.ma/3XuqL0d

Screening for #Afib - we need to refine more. How do we do better and what do we do with what we find? Our editorial: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gHGK… @melissaemm1 #CHRD @UniofAdelaide @CentralAdlLHN

1/2 🤔Referred for a strange structure in right atrium. 💡Take a look this 2D/3D TOE focused on RAA anatomy 👉 This "band-like structure" is called TAENIA SAGITTALIS, the most prominent pectinate muscle originates from crista terminalis extending upwards and anteriorly #echofirst

📖 re coronary artery spasm & #pulsedfieldablation 🚨not seen w PV/posterior wall 🚨seen w CTI ablation more so without nitroglycerin - none a/w EKG changes @VivekReddyMD @EPentraining @PrashSanders @KTamirisaMD #EPeeps #EPFellows #Cardiology

#PFA ICE can only confirm PFA catheter (spline) and tissue contact when PFA is used. Spline-tissue proximity does not equate to electrode-tissue contact. @HRSonline @PrashSanders @BorisSchmidt5 @Mel_Gunawardene @EPentraining @MehakDhande

How close can PFA be delivered to the coronary arteries without causing coronary spasm? #PFA @HRSonline @PrashSanders @EPentraining @MehakDhande @aalahmadmd @BorisSchmidt5 @natale_md

PFA is emerging as a tissue-selective technology; however, a large clinical series showed the incidence of reversible phrenic nerve palsy. There is still a lot to learn about #PFA @HRSonline @EPentraining @PrashSanders @MehakDhande @aalahmadmd @natale_md

From @natale_md - PFA effective on posterior wall in persistent AF, durable, in study from @VivekReddyMD #EPeeps @KTamirisaMD @Emami_EP @PrashSanders @MehakDhande @aalahmadmd

🔑 points re #pulsedfieldablation 🚨contact is important 🚨disappearance of EGM doesn’t mean durability 🚨safer to stack lesions without esophageal injury 🚨stroke risk exists @HRSonline @KTamirisaMD @PrashSanders @aalahmadmd

Tissue proximity is necessary to achieve deep and durable lesions with #PFA. How to determine catheter-tissue proximity when using PFA? @HRSonline @PrashSanders @EPentraining @MehakDhande @KTamirisaMD @aalahmadmd @natale_md

Durability remains a question in PFA, as some clinical studies have shown late recurrence in AF patients. Much to learn about delivery device engineering, intra-procedural endpoints, pulse settings. Exciting time for PFA! ⚡️ 🫀 @aalahmadmd @KTamirisaMD @PrashSanders #EPeeps

#PFA is tissue-selective in pre-clinical studies. However, in clinical trials, there are reports of coronary spasms and reversible phrenic nerve palsy. What would be the mechanism of coronary spasm and PNP with PFA? @aalahmadmd @PrashSanders @natale_md @HRSonline
