Presented at #AHA24:
Among patients with ventricular tachycardia and ischemic cardiomyopathy, catheter ablation as an initial therapy led to a lower risk of adverse outcomes than antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Read the full VANISH2 trial results: nej.md/3Z5ECOD

Follow-up at a median of nearly 14 years showed a survival benefit for patients who received cardiac resynchronization with a defibrillator as compared with those who received a defibrillator alone. Read the full RAFT trial results: nej.md/3vF31OS

1. Today I presented the late breaking results of our clinical trial examining AF progression after catheter ablation.
This was a long-term follow up of the CIRCA-DOSE population, a group of 356 patients randomised to Contact force RF or Cryoballoon PVI

ICMYI last week at @AHAMeetings! NEW evidence supporting cryoablation reducing the progression of #Afib compared to drug therapy! 75% reduction in the progression to persistent AF with cryoablation! Congratulations @DrJasonAndrade and the EARLY-AF investigators! #EPeeps @NEJM

Please consider taking this medical research survey? It's from a research friend at UBC.
We really need to understand the effect of the pandemic on willingness to help when people see someone with a cardiac arrest:

Please share widely. Thanks.
