From anatomy to arrhythmia: Can CT imaging help uncover the pathways that sustain ventricular tachycardia?

The latest #ESCCardioTalk features @Phiso_de and @VanessaSciacca_ discussing how computed tomography is reshaping VT ablation planning, helping clinicians better characterise scar-related substrates and target critical circuits with greater precision.

Management of desmoplakin cardiomyopathy manifesting as an electrical storm requires key considerations during pregnancy: using safe antiarrhythmics, avoiding gadolinium-based contrast in CMR, minimal-fluoroscopy ICD implantation, and an individualized delivery plan from a multidisciplinary team. https://t.co/6SH5rX3mzK

Spontaenous coronary artery dissection is a rare, non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome with propensity for recurrence in the peripartum period; when coronary flow is preserved, conservative management is appropriate. https://t.co/edUEhDhsJn

👇Finaly the beta version of the new Easy-ECG website and Easy-ECG app👇

Over the past months, we have been working on a project aimed at making ECG and electrophysiology learning more accessible and interactive. Today, we are happy to present Version beta of “ https://t.co/mKXgscCGa4 ”

🔹 What’s new?

✅ Easy-PVC and Easy-WPW algorithms:
We have introduced new illustrations and visualizations to support a more intuitive and anatomically guided analysis.

✅ Educational Content
Learn the principles behind both algorithms to deepen your understanding and strengthen independent ECG interpretation. The platform also includes educational articles, videos, and arrhythmia-focused learning resources that can be filtered by topic.

✅ ECG Quizzes
Interactive ECG cases with structured questions and detailed explanations provide an engaging way to reinforce learning.

✅ ECG Submission – one of my favorite!
Users can anonymously upload ECGs, which @N_Trajkovska and I will personally review and interpret through the app.

⚠️ This is not AI-generated interpretation and not a clinical reporting service. All responses are human-generated and intended exclusively for educational purposes.

This is still an early version, and there is much more to improve and develop. We have several ideas and features planned as we continue building an EP e-learning platform for all of US.

💡 We would greatly appreciate your feedback and constructive criticism. Your suggestions will help us improve the platform.

📱 The iOS and Android apps are currently in testing and will be available soon.

❤️ The platform will remain completely free, because we believe that knowledge should be shared and accessible to everyone.

Thank you for your support.

@AdrianoKochi @jjmt_ep Would be very careful with any conclusions. 1 stroke and 1 TIA in 21 patients in this center. 1 stroke in >1200 patients in a prospective registry (VariPure) in Europe. Very surprised by this high-ranked publication - 21 patients…..
