🤩Grateful and proud to share that I’ve been elected Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (FESC).

🤝This isn’t about a title — it reflects years of shared work, learning, mistakes, and progress in electrophysiology, research, and education.

🙏Huge thanks to Prof. @Phiso_de and the @HdzNrw EP team. Proud to be part of the team! @chris_sohns, Thomas Fink, @MBraunEP, Thomas Eitz, @VanessaSciacca_ , @MoneebKhalaph, @KarHarutyun, @AngelikiDarma, Philipp Lukas, @N_Trajkovska

During pulsed field ablation, a novel ablation index combined with contact force and number of burst pulses provides high prediction accuracy of irreversible lesion depth #Epeeps https://t.co/0FURC177BP

New Evidence in AF Ablation: ICE Matters!
A multicenter study shows that confirming catheter tissue contact with ICE during PFA dramatically improves outcomes.
Recurrence: ICE 12.6% vs Fluoro 22.3%
Reconnection at redo: ICE: 10.3% vs Fluoro: 59.2%

🫀First AF Fellows Workshop & FARADAY programme in Madrid.
A joint initiative by the #MedEd team and R&D, bringing together 12 fellows from 7 countries for two days of real anatomy, hands-on simulation & peer-to-peer learning.
More to come in 2026!

End of 2,5 days #EHRA VT course. An honour to be part of the faculty, sharing ideas, workflows, failures.. #imaging #S3 functional mapping. v nice atmosphere. @Cardioschool @eladanter1 @Petr_Peichl @tomdepotter @EctorJoris @bisceglia C. Bisceglia @FredSacher_EP @hospitalclinic

[Maxim Didenko, MD PhD FESC FEHRA @Cardioschool]

#EHRA VT Course — Day 2.
Substrate, multipolar EGMs, S3 mapping, PF ablation and a lot of sharp discussions.
Still so much to learn about scar and conduction zones.
Big thanks to EHRA, faculty and all #epeeds participants for an inspiring day!

Great day in Lisbon 🇵🇹 opening the #EHRA VT Ablation Course with anatomy–EP correlations and live specimen demos.
Sharp questions, great energy. Two more days ahead! 😉 @EHRAPresident @ivroca @Petr_Peichl @tomdepotter

👇Typical Flutter: Quick tricuspid annulus map for diagnosis and ablation success assessment👇

👉 A very fast single-tip activation map of TV using the ablation catheter beautifully demonstrates the reentry circuit — in this case, a counterclockwise flutter around the tricuspid valve annulus.

👉 For success confirmation, pacing in the coronary sinus (CS) shows a collision of both activation wavefronts at the CTI line, without any breakthroughs across the block line.

Beautiful maps by @StephanWinnik 🤩

In England, EP training is being squeezed by the need for dual accreditation in general internal medicine.

We argue that this risks a generation of underprepared specialists.

@MoneebKhalaph Congrats! 🎉

[Maxim Didenko, MD PhD FESC FEHRA @Cardioschool]

You’re right — hands-on simulation is very effective. But it’s still a simulation: even the best models can’t fully reproduce wall thickness, fiber orientation, trabeculae, or chordal structures. That’s why real specimens, with dual-screen correlation with EP, provide a level of detail that no simulator can match. In the end, both approaches complement each other.
