My abstract has been accepted for #ESCCongress - can't wait to present it! https://t.co/LVUph7M1wu

Grateful to present our work at EHRA Congress 2026 in Paris 🇫🇷

🔹 Superior vena cava isolation – should we go beyond pulmonary vein isolation?
🔹 PFA for treating PVCs-efficacy and safety
🔹 Dual energy efficacy and safety in persistent atrial fibrillation

Presented at #HRS2026:

In patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, first-line treatment with pulsed field ablation reduced the recurrence of atrial arrhythmias at 12 months as compared with antiarrhythmic drugs. Full AVANT GUARD trial results: https://t.co/milHy26ojJ

🔴 Bachmann Bundle Pacing (BBP) — Daniel Lustgarten

Fluoroscopy alone is NOT enough. Using fluoro only, just half of patients met criteria for true Bachmann Bundle capture. True BB capture correlates with a sustained, significant reduction in AF incidence and burden. (Infeld et al., Europace 2022)

TAVI in a complex anatomy 💡 Transcatheter aortic valve implantation successfully performed in a patient with both severe aortic stenosis and a membranous ventricular septal aneurysm, highlighting tailored structural intervention strategies https://t.co/oQWs7DmVFs

Among patients with #AtrialFibrillation, elevated BMI, and 1 or more additional cardiometabolic risk factors, aggressive risk factor management reduced arrhythmia recurrence over the 12-month period after catheter ablation. https://t.co/H4EyHDrRSc

#AHA25 in the world of AF a lot of science was presented:

1) #OCEAN
Rivaroxaban did not signif ↓ incidence of stroke, systemic embolism or new embolic stroke vs ASA among high risk patients for stroke post ablation 1-year prior

@NEJM
https://t.co/WBA8zRIYa3

2) #ADAPT_AF
NOAC monotherapy was noninferior to combination for net adverse clinical events in AF patients who had undergone DES 1-year prior

@NEJM
https://t.co/1oAnybWGlQ

3) #OPTIMA_AF
1-mo was as effective as 12-mo dual antithrombotic therapy w DOAC & P2Y12 inhibitor, followed by the oral anticoag alone for preventing stroke, MI & death & fewer bleeding than long dual Rx

4) #CLOSURE_AF
Physician-directed standard medical Rx (anticoag) was better than LAAC in patients with AFib & at high risk of stroke & major bleeding

Treating AF is not limited to treating the ECG……

Viewpoint: For patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis, evidence does not currently support routine early intervention. https://t.co/PhfFfKt5fU
