Diagnosis-to-ablation time predicts recurrent atrial fibrillation and rehospitalization following catheter ablation, by Derek S Chew, Jonathan Piccini, MD, MHS, and colleagues

Meta-analysis of RCTs finds that catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation reduces mortality, hospitalizations, and increases freedom from arrhythmia vs medical therapy: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jc…. Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology #EPeeps

Is There a Mortality Benefit of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jc…. Check out out editorial on this meta-analysis of RCTs and it’s implications for future trial design and patient-tailored care. Duke Cardiology Fellows Duke Heart #EPeeps

Great work lead by Dan Friedman and Brett Atwater teasing out the details of what CRT addresses in LBBB.

Forget vaccine bicep selfies, here’s my vaccine administrator selfie. Grateful to get my shot early, happy to pay it forward. Duke Heart Duke Cardiology Fellows Duke Health

Car wouldn’t start, Lyft had almost no gas in the tank and it was cold and raining outside, but I still made it to get my COVID vaccine this am! Very grateful to Durham VA Health Care System for helping me keep my patients and community safe. #DVAMC

Thanks to Derek S Chew for taking the lead on this important project that started as a term paper for CRTP Duke SOM, became a presentation Heart Rhythm Society, and is now a full paper! I learned a lot about cost effectiveness modeling and am glad we could apply it to AF ablation. #EPeeps

It’s been a privilege to have Brett Atwater as a mentor and look forward to continued collaboration in his exciting new role leading EP at @IHVInews. Congratulations Brett!

Thanks to BIOTRONIK US for sponsoring this Saturday direction. We were able to get an LV lead down a great lateral branch. Unfortunately the prognosis is still poor for this patient.

Another piece in the LBBB cardiomyopathy puzzle.

Assessing CRT beyond QRSd: Check out our study on how changes in both QRS and JTc relate to outcomes after CRT. Brett Atwater

Does the optimal CRT pacing configuration change with exercise? Should pacing algorithms be more dynamic? Great study comparing activation patterns under physiologic stress from Brett Atwater, Schuyler Jones, and Dan Friedman Journal of Electrocardiology: bit.ly/2ETPdpd. #EPeeps

Great paper by Allen Wang on the impact of DM on outcomes after AF ablation. Congrats Allen!
