#EPeeps I never knew this theoretical framework for thinking about multi-level block. It’s nice to have something to explain why we see so much more 4:1 (2:1 and then 2:1) than 3:1

Chelsea Boyd from Texas Children’s on waiting periods after accessory pathway ablation

➡️ abbreviated (10m) watch seems adequate for many AP locations (in expert hands)
➡️right free wall AP are trouble and need standard (30m) watch or maybe longer

Gender specific outcomes in nonrandomized Bio-Libra trial-NICM ICD trial. No gender differences in all cause mortality, but residual high risks of VT/VF which was higher in men. 28% risk in 3yrs in men and 17% risk in 3yrs in women!

Exciting data for new LBBAP ICD lead which is preliminary 200/300 pts completed. Excellent DFTs IF the ICD coil is pushed enough into the RV! Congratulations to the authors. #EPeeps #CardioSky #LBCT

Not everything at #HRS2025 is PFA and CSP. Casper registry has taught us so much about classification of resuscitated SCA. We appear to over diagnose LQT and under diagnose short coupled PVC related VF and malignant MV prolapse! Thank you authors. #EPeeps #CardioSky

Interesting study looking at leadless pacing compared to LBBAP in heart block and PICM risks. This study disputes prior industry funded studies. Worth a look. rdcu.be/eiWSF

Reminder to all our Cardiology/Heart Failure friends that sinus rhythm therapy (SRT) is a powerful tool. Pt seen originally with biventricular failure and LVEF of 25% now post GDMT and ablation has normal biventricular size and function and LVEF 52%. #CardioSky

We are incredibly grateful to the partners and donors who help support our heart rhythm program.

While medically necessary hospital & physician services are universal, and funded provincially, we rely on donors to support capital investment

These telemetry tips videos are useful to anyone who sees any patients in the hospital. And can also be translated to consumer grade ambulatory monitors as well! #CardioSky
