@ankeetbhatt @SJGreene_md @kpnorcal @TPMGDocCareers @KPDOR @nih_nhlbi @MariaAnsariMD @asgmd1 @KPHeartDoc That’s great news, congrats Ankeet!

@jennifer_rymer @TYWangMD @Drroxmehran @manesh_patelMD @schuyler_jones @SVRaoMD Humbled to train and work with such a superstar. Congrats Jenn!

@FYang_EP Gold handled needle drivers are sturdier because they are made from tungsten carbide. @rbarbosa91 has great tweetorials on surgical instrument history and use. Super helpful for those of us that use them but never did general surgery training.

@PierreEliasMD @JACCJournals Fantastic study. You all went above and beyond with not only developing an impressive model, but also sharing your code and doing saliency mapping to provide some insight into what ValveNet actually looks at! Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

@jason_lappe @kenquadros @Nishaki1 @EPeeps_Bot @AveragingBogey @zhalemd @zapzaplunch @BiosenseWebster The HM3 causes more noise because the slower rotor speed puts the mechanical artifact into the typical ecg bandwidth. We looked at all the Vad models and mechanisms of artifact here: https://t.co/leZWTF9u4L

@jason_lappe Beautiful map, must have been satisfying to get the one burn term!

@HeartRhythmNP @DukeCardiology Maybe more to it than just the burden. ABC-VT score accounts for morphology and other features to predict which PVCs lead to cardiomyopathy. https://t.co/Z1BUeyMhMo

@tony_breu Unsynchronized cardioversion can cause VF, which is treated with another unsynchronized shock

Practical application of AI/ML from ⁦@zachia5⁩ and ⁦@noseworthypeter⁩. Innovative way to use ECG to improve AF diagnosis and stroke prevention. ⁦@HRSonline⁩ #hrs2022

[Zak Loring @ZakLoringMD]

@HeartRhythmNP Haha, I took that same picture! I thought it was a good summary of the current evidence and I liked the patient/treatment matrix for thinking about where the data is.

[Zak Loring @ZakLoringMD]

Great presentation from incoming EP fellow ⁦@kellyarps⁩ on the benefits of ripple mapping for outflow/summit PVCs. ⁦⁦@dukeheartfellow⁩ ⁦@DCRINews⁩ ⁦@DukeHeartCenter⁩ ⁦@HRSonline⁩ #hrs2022

Diagnosis-to-ablation time predicts recurrent atrial fibrillation and rehospitalization following catheter ablation, by @derek_c1, @JonPicciniSr, and colleagues

[Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology @JCardioEP]

Meta-analysis of RCTs finds that catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation reduces mortality, hospitalizations, and increases freedom from arrhythmia vs medical therapy: https://t.co/SUyHHsFgOB. @JCardioEP #EPeeps

Is There a Mortality Benefit of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation? https://t.co/wqi9LVCLuf. Check out out editorial on this meta-analysis of RCTs and it’s implications for future trial design and patient-tailored care. @DukeCardFellows @DukeHeartCenter #EPeeps

@YaleIMed @ACCinTouch @MichaelGNanna @YaleCardiology @YaleMed Congrats Mike! Well deserved.

[Zak Loring @ZakLoringMD]

Great work lead by @DanFriedmanMD and @atwater_brett teasing out the details of what CRT addresses in LBBB.

[CircEP @CirculationEP]

Among patients with LBBB undergoing CRT, electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony were both required for the most favorable reverse remodeling and event free survival! @ZakLoringMD @DanFriedmanMD #AHAJournals https://t.co/uPJzTatIR1

[Zak Loring @ZakLoringMD]

@JonPicciniSr @ba_steinberg @DanMarkMD @TJaredBunch @derek_c1 Really interesting paper, great work @ba_steinberg. Changes the way I think about AF and makes me curious as to what mechanisms change during the transition from rare to persistent and the implications for targeted therapies.

[Zak Loring @ZakLoringMD]

@SvatiShah @vbluml Outstanding! Congratulations Vanessa!

[Zak Loring @ZakLoringMD]

@atwater_brett @mugander Great case and images!

[Zak Loring @ZakLoringMD]

@wrobertson3 So glad to hear you are doing well. Thank you for the kind words, it made my night!
