ARREST-AF *Randomized Clinical Trial*
(Aggressive Risk factor REduction STudy for #AtrialFibrillation for #ablation)
♥️Lifestyle factor mgmnt ➡️
significant freedom from #Afib post ablation 61.3% vs 40%
HR 0.53 p=0.03
Congrats @drrpathak @PrashSanders & team!

Afib may accelerate CKD
(Bidirectional?) #AHA24
AFIb should be a RF for CKD
AFIb catheter ablation - improves kidney function
Will will anti-inflammatory interventions in CKD pts (IL-1 /L-6) also affect AF incidence along with slowing CKD progression?
Presented at #AHA24:
Among patients with ventricular tachycardia and ischemic cardiomyopathy, catheter ablation as an initial therapy led to a lower risk of adverse outcomes than antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Read the full VANISH2 trial results: https://t.co/yDFhCI9KNA

1/n We are excited to announce EchoPrime – the first echocardiography AI model capable of evaluating a full transthoracic echocardiogram study, identify the most relevant videos, and produce a comprehensive interpretation!
Great work lead by @milos_ai, EchoPrime is the largest and most complex #echofirst AI model yet, trained on 10x the data of existing models.
How many #EPeeps pacemap at the rate of VT?
Pacing faster creates more "TR fusion", making all pacemaps look more "epicardial".
Congrats to @yasushinoda1029@ZJameria on this work that should make us all question determination of initial slurring/ pseudodelta waves. #QSQ

From @JAMA_current: In patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), pulmonary vein isolation resulted in a significant & clinically important decrease in AF burden, with substantial improvements in symptoms and QoL, vs a sham procedure. https://t.co/tRVAUxjBVd #ESCCongress
@krishmd@srissundaram@Toaster_Pastry In my EMR, I upload the image to the patient’s chart as a media file so I can send it as an attachment within a secure message. Patients love it. I’ve had them used for holiday cards, cakes, etc.
@forkknifecab_EP 👍 My standard set up includes RIJ access. The rare times I have approached from above have been successful with no long sheath, focal cryo for stability if needed (para-Hisian targets). I agree reach is really difficult with lateral sites though
Okay I’m not a big fan of OWM but that’s an amazing map
(Watch until the second half off the video)
Do any of the EP journals have an interesting video publication format?
