Had to get creative to removing a lead fragment retained after heart transplant. We “sistered” a decapolar catheter adjacent the lead and snared them together from above to allow for more traction and counter traction. Here’s the report!: heartrhythmcasereports.com/a…

Fruitful learning to write up our personal experience with #CCM at Temple (now in JICE), and then a good time talking about some emerging data in CCM for VuMedi! Onward and upward to help HF patients! urldefense.com/v3/__vumedi.c…$

@JasonKelce @tkelce I’m a small guy, but want to buy a pool floaty for my brother - who is 6’4”, 300 lbs. What’s the best “big guy floaty” - do you know? What do you guys have? @newheightshow

FWIW, the US has about 1,100 people for every primary care physician
in context, we have
22,000 for every oncologist
33,000 people for every ID doc
57,000 for every neurosurgeon
80,000 people for every vascular surgeon

HRS is the ultimate chance to cross pollinate. I just love it. #HRS2023 This event is a chance to learn about CCM, which is what we need for patients who don’t qualify for CRT, but are still suffering.

Moving on from #CCM Smart, and now onto #CCM Mini! I always feel excited anticipation for the follow-up visit after implant. Just saw two #CCMrecipients B2B in clinic yest., one still in disbelief (3m out), and one embracing her new life (2y out). #electroceuticals @TempleCards

Interesting from @LuigiDiBiaseMD et al in @hrs_journal
#AppleWatch couldn't record an ECG during unipolar LBBP and #dontdisthehis (and presumably RV or A uni pacing) perhaps due to the large stimulus artifact causing excessive filtering
No problem for Kardia 6L tho @DrDave01 😉

Very well-versed and very well prepared, @msdmsdoms just presented his work in the Featured Science Session at #AHA22 - certain genetic mutations may increase one’s vulnerability to COVID-related myocarditis. Whoa. @TempleCards @my_helix

At #AHA, learning and teaching about #CCM. Because CCM therapy is both relatively new and helps patients, I find it exciting to share with fellows, like @edwardhortonmd. @TempleCards @ModulateHF @EPOverlord

Blacks were less likely to be prescribed A/C, and in follow up, more likely to have stroke AND bleed. Not so much paradoxical as it is evidence that disparities have many layers. @UREssien @gregorymmarcus

Dr. Isaac Whitman (@docwhitman) offered insight to @namesjules for a @Healthline story about a @JAMACardio study which found Black pts hospitalized w/ AFib are less likely to be prescribed anticoagulant meds/more likely to experience worse health outcomes healthline.com/health-news/a…

Placing a PPM is one thing, but AVOIDING inelegant basic programming is ALSO a thing! @narrowQRS painstakingly doing the visual arithmetic on the relationship between AVD, PVARP, UTR, and TARP. Our fellows are so lucky! @TempleEP @TempleCards

Anna Hricko, a @TempleUniv rower, was making pancakes one day when her heart beat suddenly accelerated. She was initially told it was anxiety, but then was diagnosed w/ an SVT #arrhythmia by Temple EP Dr. Isaac Whitman.
