Another landmark trial by @DrJasonAndrade demonstrating the benefit of 1st-line therapy with AF ablation in reducing time to progression to persistent AF compared with AA drugs. Great presentation at #AHA2022 @ElaineWanMD

- Although we do so many amazing things in EP, this is also clearly an incredible breakthrough for modern medicine. Heart-warming. @netta_doc @avolgman @rhythmkris @EP_mom1
- Should ablation be considered 1st line Rx for AF? @DrJasonAndrade discusses topic at #VA2022. 2/3 of patients treated with AADs will have recurrence in 1 year. And AADs are not benign. Ablation is more effective than AADs in maintaining SR. @netta_doc @CarlChiefCard @drrakeshg1
- Thank you to all who attended and contributed to the sessions that made the meeting successful. We could not have done this without your help! Look forward to next year’s meeting in San Francisco. @deering_f @Gfvanhare @LuigiDiBiaseMD @DJ_Lakkireddy @PrashSandersFor those that argue that scientific meetings are no longer necessary, #HRS2018 a welcome reminder of the fallacy of that view. Congrats to @AndreaRussoEP and @HRSonline for once again putting forth the world’s premier EP meeting!!! See you all next year - #HRSturns40
- AF ablation is cost effective - analysis of CABANA. #HRS2021 @HRSonline @netta_doc @KTamirisaMD @nmarrouche @JonPicciniSr @cha_yongmei
- Super talk by @utedrow about need to increase diversity and reduce barriers for entry of more women into EP training programs. #AFSymposium2021 @josoriomd @WomenAs1 @avolgman @rhythmkris @KTamirisaMD @HRSonline
- Dr. Andrea Natale receives the Eric Prystowsky advocate for patients care award at the STOPAF patient conference in Dallas. Congratulations!
- Safety has always been our primary concern and I personally agree this is the best solution. The CDC recommendation and timing also appear quite clear. We have a Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday night to give us a final resolution and plan for next steps.This will interfere with @HRSonline conference, should we assume that it is canceled? @AndreaRussoEP @drsuneet
- HRS 2018 in Boston, May 9-12; exciting new science - VT, AF and CIED Summits. Learn about cyber security. Allied Prof Forum. Heart Rhythm Bowl and upcoming Late-Breakers... also time to see friends & colleagues! Advance program: hrssessions.org/content/downlo… @HRSonline @HRS2018
- The long awaited CABANA results will be presented by Doug Packer at HRS!!! Come to Boston May 9-12th to here the latest about AF ablation... Don’t miss it - register today: hrssessions.org/Attendee-Resou…. @deering_f @Gfvanhare @HRSonline
- Agree. Let’s ask our patients... wouldn’t a 95% reduction in AF burden be a measure of “clinical” success?What about reversal of cardiomyopathy as in CASTLE-AF? Shouldn’t that be counted, even if 30 sec of AF? We need better definitions. @nmarrouche @HRSonline #WAFib2018E Prystowsky makes an important point on ablation “success." Many patients happy with marked reduction in AF but listed as failure b/c 30-seconds of AF called failure. Need new definitions of success. #WAFib2018 #ASKwaf
- Impressive program @ Grandview w/Dr. Jose Osorio @josoriomd leading team. High quality & efficient. 2 fluoro-less AF ablations done by 9:22 am. Entrance& exit block. Adenosine & iso. It’s real! Highlights collaborative team w/standardized protocols.@HRSonline Thx for hospitality!
- Do we need women’s health centers? Dr. Gulati gives an excellent talk that inspires others. #HRS2018 @DrMarthaGulati @MinnowWalsh @jenniferavari @rhythmkris @rhythmkeys
- Dr. Rod Tung presents the “ABCs” of reasons for failure of AF ablation at #LAHRS2019 - Anatomical, Biophysical and Cognitive. @DrRoderickTung @drluissaenz @HRSonline @DrFerminGarcia
