Proud to share that UC San Diego is among the first centers in San Diego to gain access to VOLT technology as we continue to thoughtfully evaluate emerging innovations in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Grateful to the entire UCSD EP team and Abbott EP team whose effort and collaboration helped make this possible. Looking forward to gaining experience with this technology and continuing to explore how new tools can help advance care for our patients. #Electrophysiology #EPeeps #Abbott #UCSDHealth
Fantastic explanation of the regional anatomy of the pulmonary veins and surrounding structure by @DrRoderickTung
With complexity in posterior wall ablation anatomical knowledge will help improve outcomes particularly in long standing cases

Welcome to our newly minted first-year fellows! Kicking off bootcamp the best way we know how — bedside echoes and getting hands-on with the big machine 🫀🔥 Here’s to a strong start and sharper images ahead @UCSDCardiology! Thanks to first years David and Rodrigo for having the best views!! #EchoFirst
We have a new Lp(a) paper, led by @derlinge from PROSPECT 2 using IVUS/NIRS. It shows high Lp(a) associates most with vulnerable plaque characteristics, whereas LDL-C with plaque burden. Lp(a) was measured by our @UCSDCardiology assay, the only Lp(a) assay I am aware of that is truly isoform-independent (uses monoclonal antibody LPA-KIV9). This study creates a rationale to perform an imaging study with Lp(a) lowering drugs and assess effect of features of high-risk plaques. https://t.co/mPgI1x202T
We need a science reset in this country.
Politicians use fear to get support (by convincing people the politician will protect them).
When politicians lie about "threats," it harms all of us. Let's start over with basic science and medicine education.

🚨 Ten years since its last iteration, the updated AHA/ACC #SportsCardio Guidelines are finally here!
Herculean effort led by @jonathankimmd Aaron Baggish & Ben Levine
Honored to be a part of this new foundational document for the field

Exciting advancements in EP 3D anatomic imaging with ICE integration! Proud to share that @UCSDHealth recently achieved a First in Human milestone using the ViewFlex X SE catheter in a clinical study with @AbbottCardio for high-quality imaging. #EPeeps@TY_TACKacardia
My daughter is about 4 & a half now and the past few weeks it’s been wild to see the shift in her. Like the conversations, ideas, opinions, all of it. It’s so cool to see who she’s becoming daily.
Being a dad is just really cool.
