Cardiac Arrhythmia Service at MUSC Health - training #EPeeps for careers in academic and clinical leadership in clinical cardiac electrophysiology @MUSChealth
In this sham-controlled trial of 60 patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation, pulsed field ablation (PFA) was superior to sham in reducing arrhythmia recurrence & burden and improving QOL. ahajrnls.org/4o6FTA1
It’s that bittersweet time of year! Seeing how far you’ve come but also time to say goodbye to great friends along the way. Congratulations to our graduating fellows!!! @Brigham_EP@True_EP@BrighamFellows#EPeeps@CMAlbertEP

Here is the second @HRSonline meeting - this is not just about what is new but what is coming in the field!!
This year NEW with late breaking trials
Not to be missed
Redefining POTS - it's more than just fluid shifts and adrenergic activation!! Absolutely GREAT work by @Dr_VarunMalik and our UCLA team including @KhalsaLab@shivkumarmd - 🔥🔥🔥
Recently published in @CircAHA our long-term PAM-VT2 study: Post-ablation MRI to predict long-term VT recurrence, to assess scar evolution, new remodelling effect after ablation proved! A long journey working together EP, imaging, bioengineers. clinicbarcelona.org/en/news/…
Proud to celebrate the success of the 5th EP Expert in Mexico City Mar 20–21)
100 physicians from 8 countries, 10 expert speakers, and outstanding scientific & hands‑on sessions.
Thank you to our scientific directors, speakers, and Abbott team for making EP Expert a reference!
When still in Chicago, I remember referring patients to someone as thoughtful as @AlbertLinMD1 - he trained folks now in our program. And, as a non-LAAO implanting physician, I’ve relied upon technically superb and thoughtful partners @MUSC_EP, including @rachelkaplanmd, to manage patients referred for consideration of this procedure. I still see value for LAAO, but high risk bleed CVA risk patients remain the bulk of referrals to team here. Grateful for ability to trust judgment and abilities of group here for LAAO also including @ChauVoMD@swatirao24@dhakalbish.
What to make of CLOSURE-AF? As an implanter of LAAO devices and clinical investigator in PREVAIL, CHAMPION-AF, and CATALYST, I'm a proponent of perc LAAO for appropriate patients and I am circumspect who should consider the procedure. I've advised against
Pretty cool moment for us @MUSC_EP with #AblateVT lineage starting with my friend and mentor, @utedrow, and our recent VT Fellow now @MUSChealth Assistant Professor @rorydowd. Thanks for the fantastic grand rounds discussion @utedrow -- always the clearest and most thoughtful voice in the room.
