Excellent work from @MassadChristian and the team!
Extra-PV ablation using the VARIPULSE catheter appears to be safe and effective, with high success rates and a favorable complication profile during medium- to long-term follow-up.
Exciting progress in AF ablation strategies.
Huge congratulations to @YingshuoL, our AI leader at TRIAD, for presenting the team’s work and vision for AI in cardiology at Grand Rounds at Tulane School of Medicine! Exciting to see how AI is transforming both research and clinical care in arrhythmia at Tulane.
Congrats to @mabou_khalil Great work from HEARTBEAT study, a prospective smartwatch cohort in Louisiana with high cardiovascular risk. Lower income was associated with greater comorbidity burden and higher risk of death, stroke, or hospitalizations. More to come. #ACC26
Congrats to Dr.@BsoulMayana on her impactful work 👏 AF patients treated with amiodarone show higher mortality risk, consistent across CHA₂DS₂-VASc strata (≥2 and <2). Important signal that risk persists regardless of baseline stroke risk.

Great session on AI in cardiology. Thank you @lamcardio and Dr. Seinath Adusumalli for putting it together!
Incredible insights from @rohan_khera and @zachia5 on translating AI into clinical practice and trials at Yale and Mayo Clinic. Excited about the future medicine. #ACC26
Big Saturday at ACC 2026 Scientific Session 🚀
Tulane Cardiology & TRIAD across AF, ablation, health equity, prevention, CVD, PAD & HF. A full day of science.
Proud of the team and excited. @JoseWileyforNYC@AIrimpen@AmitabhCPandey@nmarrouche#ACC26 See schedule 👇
My most favorite session at #WesternAFib. Since I first attended, @netta_doc always follows every session and gives the final wrap-up with highlights of the whole symposium. Refreshes all the remaining controversial topics and makes me think deeper every time. Really grateful 🙏
Congratulations to @montaser4k and @QMarashly on this outstanding work. 🎉
Concomitant PFA + LAAO may represent a safer, streamlined strategy for AF patients:
• Lower leak • Shorter procedure • Comparable complications/recurrence
