@drjohnm @CarlChiefCard @ftrae It not 15 years ago, but 11 years ago a blinded trial compared CTI to PVI. PVI won for AF and QOL in this sham trial. Is it ethical to repeat it?
Moreover, we don’t need a sham for an outcome unrelated to placebo. No one questions value of PVI to prevent recurrences or ⬇️ burden

5/5: after RFA of the left lateral accessory pathway, finished up with final EP study including eval for other pathways, including para His pacing showing nodal response:

Not a novel finding, but interesting to see. ECG almost looks normal. Younger person with rapid palpitations and syncope #EPeeps

4/n: inducible ORT, in addition to the ART on 12 lead ECG from presentation:

@AveragingBogey @jason_lappe @zapzaplunch @zhalemd @JorgeI_Hernand Had a case just like this today where I had epicardial connection over endocardial anterior mitral line. I placed catheter in main PA, but did not see any bipolar EGM from main PA so I did not ablate there. During the case I was reminding of your case.

@mattaustein 20-ish week cycle. Any cyclical on-off medication courses for this patient?

It was a rude awakening to find my certification abruptly revoked a mere five years after taking my exam for wanting of paying exorbitant fees and clerical issues related to MOC points. It What are the goals of such a program @ABIMFoundation?

@ep_travis @VandyRhythmdoc Thanks. How about transvenous? Pain getting in to RV with that design?

[Patrick Dillon @PatDillonMD]

Has anyone on here placed a transvenous or leadless RV lead through this valve? Curious about your experience. https://t.co/zq454XrPzn

Sudden cardiac death and cardiac arrest in young athletes is still a reality as shown by recent high-profile cases. Inherited cardiac conditions are the most common causes. Prevention is possible through #screening & #CPR. https://t.co/U53ecNG051

As background, @ABIMcert is forcing payment of MOC fees related old certification that one may have no intention of maintaining (example: internal medicine if also boarded in cardiology). They refuse to separate MOC fees among different certifications, thus maximizing $. Advice?

[Patrick Dillon @PatDillonMD]

@doctorwes are you aware of a list of states who have enacted legislation in order to not require MOC through ABIM?
