So Tragic. Hopefully commotio cordis from the mechanism and a quick defibrillation should rescue to spontaneous circulation. We need to see train earlier defib over CPR on sports medicine sidelines. 🙏@American_Heart @HRSonline @NFL

@RhythmHelp @EPeeps_Bot Cardiac thump causing VF?

So excited to share this issue of EP Lab digest! @PraveenRao_EP is providing exceptional care and promising outcomes for patients all over DFW and beyond #ablatevt #epeeps @AbbottCardio https://t.co/5KroZ38d87

The difference is clear in this #reentrantvt map- #omnipolar on the left, bipolar on the right! Which would you rather interpret? #ablatevt @PraveenRao_EP #hdgrid #EPeeps

@DoctorPhillEP @PraveenRao_EP @cooper_dh Thank you so very much! So grateful to work with a brilliant EP doing amazing things for his patients! If anyone is interested in some live VT case observation please reach out.

TGIF! Redo non-ischemic VT on an LVAD patient this morning. Concentrated LPs in sinus 👉🏻complex fractionation in VT👉🏻mid-diastolic on ablation👉🏻one burn term leaving this pt non-inducible! Mapped by @PraveenRao_EP with #hdgrid by @AbbottCardio #ablatevt #epeeps #oneburnterm

Propagation map of ischemic VT circuit #ablatevt #epeeps

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

Interesting circuit in this ischemic VT patient who had 3 prior ablations at another facility. Turning our low V ID down to 0.15mV helped uncover the rest of this circuit. Mapped by @PraveenRao_EP with the #hdgrid by @AbbottCardio #ablatevt #epeeps #ischemicvt

@patrickhinds @ellynmarsh I told my husband he could buy a new PlayStation and he told me I was the down bitch of the episode 🙌🏻

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

@EmilyZeitler @KajanderRyanEP Yes!!!! I had one of these this past week! She’d been told for 20 years she had anxiety and was on a ton of anti-anxiety medications. She actually had AVNRT

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

Scar at the apex with frac and LPs at the border zone in this ischemic VT. Positioning our catheter along this zone prior to induction quickly led us to a channel along the anterior scar border! Check out the MidD sigs! Mapped by @PraveenRao_EP #ablatevt #epeeps @AbbottCardio

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

A moving 🎯 of PVCs today. After locating and ablating these 4 morphologies, the patient left the lab with none! Ablated by @PraveenRao_EP using #hdgrid from @AbbottCardio #ablatevt #EPeeps

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

@jeffrey_vinocur @ftrae @DrRoderickTung 💯 🙌🏻 we’ve had great results with the bipolar ablation cases we’ve done! @PraveenRao_EP

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

Impressive late potentials today on LivewireHD during this non-ischemic VT! Similar signals seen at the corresponding epicardial location. Mapped by @PraveenRao_EP at @bswhealth_DFW #hdgrid #ablatevt @AbbottCardio

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

@FilippoCauti @PietroRossiEP @stefbianchi @MarcoPolselliMD @luigiaia Can you please share how the map is set up to take this data? We’d love to try this promising technique!

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

@Mapbastian @PraveenRao_EP @AbbottCardio This patient has an LVAD

VT propagation map showcasing a narrow isthmus with deceleration zone near the septal apex. Mapped by @PraveenRao_EP with the #hdgrid from @AbbottCardio #ablatevt #epeeps

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

Areas of low voltage and and clusters of fractionation correlate with the deceleration zone seen in VT. Completing a sinus map first allows us to start mapping VT in our area of interest, maximizing data gathered from short runs.

[Kaitlin Kurth @texasEPkait]

Deceleration zone is highlighted in this reentrant map. The #hdgrid allows you to visualize every signal.
