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

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?

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

I had a recent case that I thought was a good example to initiate a discussion within our community. Late 60s, OSA, Inflammatory arthritis, Elevated DR-FLASH Score. Persistent AF No history of cardiac intervention. This was the baseline voltage map in sinus rhythm.

Is Ablation Index useful for guiding therapy in the ventricle? For a pre-specified AI, RFA at 30W makes larger lesions than 40W and RFA w/ CF of 25g makes smaller lesions than 15g. Read our new publication @JACCJournals authors.elsevier.com/a/1hHxm…

Agree-lots of back-seat drivers and Monday-morning QBs feeding off the healthcare dollar in US. Not clear much value is added.
