Interesting findings however I would love to see an analysis based off AF duration: early pers vs pers vs longstanding pers. My impression is that early pers ablation outcomes may be similar to parox AF duration to healthier substrate, these pts often need PVI only #EPeeps

Beautiful series of images/posts that remain true about my 8 years of training and even now as an early career physician #MedTwitter

#EPFellows #CardiologyFellows what is the finding on this dual ICD EGM? #fellowsfirst #EPeeps

Why are statins administered at night?

In this tweetorial I'll discuss the mechanistic and historical reasons for the frequently used QHS dosing schedule. And why it's often unnecessary.

But before we get there, I'm curious: when do you prescribe/order/take statins?

New afib guidelines 2023 by Dr Joglar.
Coffee is not bad for AF, unless specific trigger for a patient ( my editorial note)
I plan to use Atria and Garfield score for CKD and dementia in addition to C2V scores
With CM, target HR<80 at rest and <110 with exercise #ACC24

Finally #MedTwitter and #MedX I found a way to remember antiarrhythmic classes without EVER forgetting or having to memorize. Read this thread to learn how:

ASCs are safe, efficient and fantastic for patient care. The next big step in the EP lab (after PFA) is into the ASC setting.

We want HRS to actively encourage CMS to fund cardiac ablation codes in ASCs. #EPeeps please sign the petition! chng.it/Z6pMHtHK

#EPeeps #CardioTwitter important to note that wearables are inaccurate in assessing rate control in a fib. Great study demonstrating limitations of this tech

Congratulations to all the structural ICs that have worked in developing novel therapies for TR. My hope is that ICs consult EPs (esp those with extraction experience) early for TTVr candidates with pacing/ICD leads for management options. #leadmanagement tctmd.com/news/fda-appro…

There is now data to support why the zio patch is my favorite ambulatory monitor iRhythm Technologies. Great work by the team who put this paper together! #CardioTwitter

I've only seen this once so far, good for all #ACCFIT and #CardioTwitter to be familiar with

I'm a big believer in scheduled melatonin for ICU patients for a similar reason. This is a terrific idea! Easy and cheap to incorporate into patient care.

Very nice visual illustrating LBBB by Strauss et al. (PMID: 21376930)

The 1st notch occurs approx 50ms after QRS onset & represents depolarization of the septal endocardium.

The 2nd notch occurs when depolarization reaches epicardium of LV lateral wall
