#CRT‐D implantation via the #cephalic venous access is not significantly associated with premature #ICD lead failure. Female gender and BMI are predictors of lead failure.@JCardioEP https://t.co/brSmrjXWrZ

This is the most important trial result for COVID-19 so far. Significiant reduction in mortality in those requiring oxygen or ventilation from a widely available, safe and well known drug. Many thanks to those who took part and made it happen. It will save lives around the world.

To demonstrate fusion during RV overdrive pacing in SVT, you don't need to look any further than at direction the His bundle is activated . This can diagnose orthodromic AVRT with high specificity.

In our propensity-matched analysis
https://t.co/Gfl8zGviZp, isolating the left atrial "posterior wall" for persistent AF reduced atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence up
to 1 year compared with PVI
, with no difference in procedural complications @andreanatalemd @LuigiDiBiaseMD

@johnhammockmd The H following PAC is advanced, and the sequence is A-H-H-A, speaking against a reentrant mechanism involving the AV junction. So most likely diagnosis is junctional tachycardia

[Ahmed I Elbatran @AI_Elbatran]

@Dr_Santangeli @JICE_EP This is a very interesting idea, we looked at arrhythmia-free survival in all our dataset's structural heart disease cases and still there was no statistically significant difference. But I agree that trend is thought provoking

[Ahmed I Elbatran @AI_Elbatran]

In our latest work published in @JICE_EP, we showed that the use of contact force-sensing catheters did not improve safety or acute and long-term outcomes in ablation of ventricular arrhythmias, but reduced fluoroscopy time in normal heart VAs. https://t.co/HhJ6KxgznK

@sozi81 @DrFalasconi @fedecalore Very nice,what did the unipolar EGMs look like on both sides of the septum?
