Excited to share our multicenter study from Houston Methodist: Pulsed field ablation led to lower 30-day readmissions and higher same-day discharge vs RF ablation for AF. Important implications for quality and cost.

Year 5 of the Murph Challenge complete for my husband, but every day he quietly overcomes the challenges of a heart failure diagnosis. Proud of his conviction to complete this workout every year. @NileshMathuria
🇺🇸Remembering the men and women who have fought for freedom. 🇺🇸
Hey #EPeeps. Could we one day “see” our ablation lesions? Initial proof of concept in-vivo data using #photoacoustic imaging. More to learn! Collaboration with Drs Carly Filgueira lab @HMethodistCV and Richard Bouchard @MDAndersonNews@JACCJournals

American Heart Association's free CPR/AED training sessions were brought to Carnegie by BLS/AED certified sophomore, Vyshnavi K. Over 30 students were successfully trained making our school part of the AHA's vital effort to save the lives of cardiac arrest victims across the US.
Hey #EPeeps. Wonder how many cases like below will be missed in current #PFA era for #ablateAF. Pt with PAF with no prior h/o SVT and planned PVI with PFA.
Kudos to @HRSonline for advocating EP study/endpoints for AF ablation
BREAKING NEWS: HRS releases new policy on catheter ablation for the treatment of #AFib. Key takeaways include:
- Reaffirming foundational principles, including anatomically-based ablation approaches and electrophysiological endpoints
- Emphasizing the need for electrophysiological testing
- Reinforcing training requirements

While on the Hill today I stopped by congressman Weber’s office (rep Galveston, TX) to talk about childhood obesity, children losing Medicaid with unwinding and safe gun storage - all important #childhealth issues in our district.
Recent patient encounter
Patient: I underwent successful open chest cryoablation for WPW >40yrs ago
Me: Wow. Amazing to see how far EP has evolved
Patient: Your welcome
A perfect reply! Reminder of the privilege we have to not only treat but to learn from our pts #Epeeps
From plastic waste to soap – a @virginia_tech team found a new way to turn plastics into high-value chemicals that are used to produce soap, detergent and more.
