I did enjoy this article on paroxysmal AV block: traditionally triggered by an ectopic beat (atrial or ventricular) & thusly terminated by an ectopic beat (usually ventricular). https://t.co/gfBEsVdVyS

Daily home-based stellate ganglion phototherapy reduced ATP/ICD shock burden from 3.9 to 0.0 events/month (P<0.01) in 28 patients with refractory VT — no serious adverse events. A novel outpatient neuromodulation strategy https://t.co/dGReXPRYLk

(1) We have cases where PVCs are not produced on the table, particularly after sedation. @drrakeshg1 and I were able to prove a theory I have held for years regarding the MOA of outflow tract PVCs. Our workflow allows for identification of the trigger site when PVCs are absent.

@Arritmias_HRC This might be a solution?

Proudly Presenting: EA Analyzer V0.5!

I’m excited to share that I’ve developed a macOS app for a Conventional Electrophysiology Review System—designed to let you work on-the-go.

Currently compatible with Cardiolab Systems, with support for other systems coming soon.

Key Features:
-Review all recordings effortlessly.
-Calipers with precise measurements.
-Fully customizable channels: adjust color, name, and amplitude to your preference.
-Add and manage annotations.
-Multiple export options for streamlined workflows.

Looking ahead, I plan to add more features and release the app for beta testing once they’re complete.

Additionally, the app will include 3D cardiac mapping tools, making it a versatile solution for both conventional recordings and advanced 3D mapping.

If you’re interested in trying it out, feel free to reach me via DM, email, or phone!

P.S.: The video quality might not fully reflect the signal resolution as it was recorded in 4K.

Nothing in procedural cardiology is risk-free — even when done meticulously. Case from @JACCJournals demonstrating #LBAP lead entry into the main LAD after CSP lead deployment.

A powerful reminder: understand septal anatomy, coronary course, and maintain vigilance. #Epeeps

📢New in @hrs_journal
*⃣ A rare Hypothesis-generating study on AF ablation in these days of almost mechanical #PFA
🌟Ectopy-triggering ganglionated plexus (ET-GP) ablation may be a solo strategy for persistent AF!
➡️ Study (n=49, Imperial College London):
High-freq stimulation used to map ET-GPs. Ablation performed without PVI c/w historical matched PVI cohort
➡️92% 1-yr freedom from AF/AT in ET-GP only group vs 42% (ET+AVD-GP) & 17% (AVD-GP only).
➡️Less RF used than PVI (31 vs 53 kWs, p<0.001).

🧑‍🎓 Takeaways for #EPeeps #cardiotwitter :
⭐️ET-GP ablation alone (without PVI) is feasible in persistent AF.
⭐️Limitations: single-center, non-randomized, amiodarone pre-Rx in all patients.
👉 Future RCTs needed to define role vs/with PVI.
