Inherited arrhythmia syndromes are rare and complex conditions predisposing seemingly healthy individuals to sudden cardiac arrest. This excellent review provides a framework for high-quality, multidisciplinary, standardized care.

Happy Earth Day #EPeeps #CardioTwitter ! To celebrate, why not spend a few minutes learning about links between climate change and heart health on the @SCC_CCS Cardio Connector podcast. Dr. Matt Bennett was a great host of ray first podcast interview. https://t.co/XpjdWTxiGT

"[Do you] recognize how much [hospital] resembles residential schools from the past? Now, imagine how a residential school survivor must feel if they require care here."

Dr. Miles Marchand @UBCCardio gives trainee (& personal) perspective on ⬆️ cultural humility.

A prospective analysis of adherence and OAC switching from @DrSalmasi demonstrated high adherence to OAC therapy, however, contrary to popular belief being on a DOAC did not translate to better adherence compared to VKA (warfarin).

Pleased to see our review on the Interventionalist's management of atrial tachyarrhythmias in heart failure published. Ablation in this group is better tolerated than AADs and offers a mortality benefit and in those with HFrEF! @DrJasonAndrade @MarcDeyell https://t.co/CYr6zG0HtN

[UBC Cardiology Residency Program @UBCCardio]

Congratulations Nima!

Our recent analysis from the #PROMISE trial published in @Heart_BMJ demonstrating that compared with D-F and ESC estimates, physician judgement more accurately identified obstructive CAD and worse patient outcomes https://t.co/L5J8ebtVKt
