Cardiac Electrophysiology at Henry Ford Health via UPenn EP #AblateVT

[Mohamad Raad @MRaadMD]

PPM implantation post-TTVR is common and often challenging. With few known predictors of AV block, we need better tools to identify high-risk patients early.

[Gautam Rangavajla @gautamrmd]

AV block after Evoque: 55 patients with 14 events -mostly in the first 48h. We detail incidence, clinical course & monitoring strategy. Physiologic studies of AV conduction needed for better risk stratification.

An incidental RA lead (10y old) microperforation was noted during LVAD implantation - a rare complication (<1%) that can lead to pericardial effusion or hemothorax. While thought to be uncommon, how many subclinical cases go undetected? @HenryFordHealth #EPeeps #Cardiotwitter

Intraoperative epicardial VT mapping and ablation at the time of LVAD implantation @HenryFordHealth #AblateVT

[Mohamad Raad @MRaadMD]

Another win for #SinusRhythmTherapy
Temporary restoration of sinus rhythm before ablation of longstanding pers AF significantly increases 1‑year arrhythmia‑free survival, even when patients present in AF at the time of ablation. #EPeeps #CardioTwitter https://t.co/xCYHUN3686

CSP is an effective alternative to BVP in patients with AF undergoing AVJ ablation and pacemaker implantation—more details in our meta-analysis. #EPeeps

Why stop at 2 birds with 1 stone when you can get 3? @DrFerminGarcia maps the LV annular branch with EP star. 3 distinct PVCs mapped to intraseptal origin. Ablation adjacent to earliest EP* eliminates all 3 PVCs with 1st burn. #Epeeps @Penncardiology @CarliPetersMD @MiguelVldrbno

#EPeeps #Cardiotwitter, how do you feel about 1C AADs in NICM?

•Patients receiving valve-in-valve implants are at low risk. Moreover, patients with mechanically- and self-expanding valves (N=12) are at a higher risk of HDAVB at the time of valve deployment. The risk was zero in the postoperative course

[Mohamad Raad @MRaadMD]

•This prospective study (N=121) alongside our retrospective study (N=1,049), suggests that a longer postoperative monitoring period may be required for patients with baseline pre-TAVR RBBB (postoperative day 4) and new post-TAVR persistent LBBB (postoperative day 3)

#EPeeps The promise of less invasive sympathetic denervation for VT...congrats to @FilippoCauti & team on continued innovation. Thank you to @JICE_EP for the chance to discuss with @MRaadMD @PennEPFellows the need for a better mechanistic understanding https://t.co/lChh5FU7lX
