    The 2023 ACC/AHA guidelines have elevated the role of catheter ablation as the initial treatment of AF. As a topic that has been near and dear to my heart for the past 10 or so years, it’s fantastic to see the field evolve towards offering more effective treatments earlier

    Yesterday I had the privilege to present the results of the CIRCA-DOSE trial as part of the late breaking trials session at #EHRA2019. For those that missed it I thought I would recap the presentation in this thread. @escardio @VCHResearch @HeartandStroke @UBCDoM

    I was supposed to be in Amsterdam at ESC but COVID obviously altered those plans. Instead we undertook a 2500 km road trip through western Canada. Below are 4 photos demonstrating the varied landscape in Lake Louise and Drumheller AB, and Revelstoke and Penticton BC.
