Thrilled to share that I recently passed the theoretical exams for dual EHRA certification — in "Invasive Cardiac Electrophysiology" and "Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices"!

This achievement represents an important step forward in my subspecialty training.

This new study from the Porto-RA cohort reveals that 24% of RA patients without known heart disease show signs of subclinical LV systolic dysfunction through echocardiographic strain analysis.

Although not generalizable to most PAH patients, this case highlights that a carefully planned transition from i.v. epoprostenol to oral selexipag is feasible in selected low-risk patients within a shared medical decision-making framework.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a relatively common but still underdiagnosed cardiac disease. This case illustrates a life-threatening non-cardiac first presentation of HCM.

Mediastinal hematoma is an extremely rare and lethal complication of radial access PCI. Rapid identification through chest imaging is crucial. Endovascular management with coil embolization is a treatment option in critically ill patients.
