🔴 💊 Treatments in Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced and Preserved EF:

👥13 studies with a total of 29,875
mean LVEF of 56.3%

👉ARNI, MRA, & SGLT2i separately, ⬇️ primary composite outcome 🆚 placebo

👉 combination of ARNI, BB, MRA, and SGLT2i was the most effective

👉Results were similar for CV☠️/HF🏥for ARNI, MRA, and SGLT2i

👉only SGLT2i had a consistent benefit among all LVEF subgroups

👉 SGLT2i +MRA+ARNI
➡️greatest benefit in HFmrEF
➡️robust benefit in LVEF 50%- 59%
➡️marginal benefit in LVEF ≥60%

@mgomes_p @StavrosStavrak1 Hello! Great to see this published and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

An interesting article providing experimental evidence for exercise benefit in restoring autonomic imbalance in aged hypertensive rats. It would also be interesting to see how this could prevent atrial arrhythmias too. #autonomicheart #GPeeps

@PrapaKanagarat1 @ImperialEP Yes we do need to talk more about AVATAR! #epeeps

[John Mandrola, MD @drjohnm]

In March, an Imperial College team published results of AVATAR--a 3-arm trial comparing standard CB AF ablation, AAD, and CB ablation *Without* confirming PV isol

Guess what? There were no diff in symptomatic AF bw the two ablation approaches! Both better than drugs

https://t.co/9wELERP8ET

Why has no one talked about this story? No media coverage.

It's totally provocative b/c it challenges the current practice of confirming PVI . #EPeeps

@True_EP @jczerpa @Dr_Markman Agreed @True_EP !

[Timothy Markman @Dr_Markman]

#EPeeps High frequency stimulation has many limitations. Burst of HRS in atrial refractory period can at least overcome the frequent atrial capture. Here we stimulate the LIGP and induce LIPV PACs that then trigger AF. A valuable tool to consider for GP mapping and #CNA.

[Maria Kim @DrMYKim]

@jczerpa @True_EP @Dr_Markman @narrowQRS @PennEPFellows @True_EP interesting! Have you tried finding a voltage threshold using that device for atrial ectopy with HFS?

[Maria Kim @DrMYKim]

@Dr_Markman @narrowQRS @PennEPFellows What was the voltage output or current setting?

[Maria Kim @DrMYKim]

@jczerpa @Dr_Markman Yes what was the duration between end of stim to earliest atrial signal? This can often help distinguish true capture or not and also need re-tests for confirmation of ANS triggered ectopy
