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

Not a novel finding, but interesting to see. ECG almost looks normal. Younger person with rapid palpitations and syncope #EPeeps (1/n)

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?

Has anyone on here placed a transvenous or leadless RV lead through this valve? Curious about your experience. tctmd.com/news/fda-approves-…

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. bit.ly/3tKnxgq #JACC #SportsCardio @gherardobis

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

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?

Good example of why using entrainment to define the circuit is important. Thanks for the map @AllspachNate #EPeeps

1/n here is a 12 lead ECG showing pre-excitation. Delta wave persisted at faster sinus rates on treadmill ECG. My interpretation is right anterior septal AP vs fasciculoventricular pathway. PR interval seems a bit long. #EPeeps
