EP is finally recognized as a specialty in Chile 🇨🇱 !
Con mucha alegría comparto que en Chile, CONACEM (Corporación Nacional Autónoma de Certificación de Especialidades Médicas), ha reconocido oficialmente la electrofisiología como subespecialidad médica.
Un hito histórico y un gran paso para seguir fortaleciendo nuestra disciplina

Simple but interesting case to finish the year: redo inferoseptal WPW.
The EP study started with no pre-excitation at all—normal HV interval, with no pre-excitation during RA or CS pacing.
The only way to unmask pre-excitation and map the pathway was through sensed PACs from the CS.
How often do you see this?

Honored to see our case featured in the November issue of Heart Rhythm O2.
My deepest gratitude to @Dr_Santangeli his guidance and mentorship throughout this procedure — this work would not have been possible without his support.
Proud to keep pushing the boundaries of EP from our region @pabsala@medufro@UFrontera
2022- 63 yr old male with HTN post AF ablation- your CHADsVASC2 score is 1- stop NOAC
2024 -Sorry you’re a 2 now - start NOAC.
November 2025 - hey guess what 😝
LAAC vs best medical care
Thrombotic events - higher
Bleeding events -- higher (counting procedure; also see AVERROES)
CV death -- higher (please don't dare tell me that it was noise because if you do, let's relook at PROTECT and PREVAIL
LAAC done in experienced labs
#AHA25
Complex VT ablation: Limited tools in LATAM sometimes require improvisation — used small 9 mm balloons to minimize phrenic nerve injury. I want to think this was somewhat useful, as the palsy recovered after a few months despite extensive ablation.
