Tell me you don’t regularly take care of patients without saying a word. Clearly this question writer spends more time w a keyboard than a stethoscope 👇🏻
A) what do you use for sedation w/ those hemodynamics and b) how many seconds will this pt stay in SR? H/t @jasonryanmd
I don’t think any woman goes through their training not wanting to work. Over 50% of those who responded did a fellowship.
There is a problem with our health system that needs to be resolved to keep the women and men we train in medicine. Including reducing the stress of the job, often due to mistreatment, discrimination & lack of opportunities for leadership roles, in addition to inequity in pay that has long been established.
A mentor can make an exceptional impact on the future of the electrophysiology field by arming the next generation with the skills, tools, and confidence necessary to innovate.
Show your appreciation for the mentor who supported you early in your career by donating to HRS through the Honor Your Mentor program. If you choose, we’ll let your mentor know of the gift you made in their name.

Hear from #HRS2026#SciComms correspondent @veramasloo as she interviews @jongichun about late-breaking clinical trial "A Prospective Randomized Multicenter Global Study Comparing Pulsed Field Ablation versus Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapy as a First Line Treatment for Persistent AFib" (AVANT GUARD).

And just like that — #HRS2026 is officially a wrap! 🎬
For our final wrap up of the week, we're reflecting on an incredible HRS Gala, the energy of the President's Social, and the late-breaking science that kept us on the edge of our seats through the very last session. See the full discussion here #EPeeps ➡️ bit.ly/48jJrIw
Four days of connection, discovery, and moments we won't forget. We hope everyone walked away inspired, energized, and ready for what's next — because we sure did.
Until next year — see you in San Francisco for #HRS2027! 🌁✨
An unforgettable evening. A powerful impact.
The 2026 Heart Rhythm Gala brought together more than 850 members of the global EP community and raised over $875,000 to support the missions for the Heart Rhythm Society and @HeartRhythmAdvo.
At the heart of the evening were the voices of patients and clinicians, captured in our “Why We Gather” video, reminding us of the purpose behind our work and the impact we can make together.

#EHRAroundTheGlobe is at #HRS2026 in Chicago 🇺🇸
We sat down with @SergeBoveda to deep dive into the most anticipated late-breaking clinical trials from #HRS2026
The science that shapes how we treat our patients 👇
Safety. Quality. Physician Alignment. 🏥
The shift of EP procedures to Ambulatory Surgery Centers is accelerating — but what does it really take to get it right?
#HRStv host @MehakDhande sits down with @DrJMarine and @DrRoderickTung to unpack the evolving ASC landscape in EP.

Snagged my 2nd beautiful piece of art (featured on Braunwald’s Heart Disease textbook) donated by @CMichaelGibson at the #HRS2026 Gala last night. Got my 1st piece at last year’s Gala! @HRSonline
Presented at #HRS2026:
In patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, first-line treatment with pulsed field ablation reduced the recurrence of atrial arrhythmias at 12 months as compared with antiarrhythmic drugs. Full AVANT GUARD trial results: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…@HRSonline

Good Morning, HRS! ☀️ It’s hard to believe today is the last day of #HRS2026.
Hear from @np_varghese and @DJ_Lakkireddy about the highlights of this incredible event, what to expect today, an a glimpse into #HRS2027 in San Francisco!
Absolutely PACKED @HRSonline LBCT session on VT ablation in S100C!
Great science being presented -
