Huge honor to give an open plenary speech in Japan for Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society 2025. We are farther along on the road to 90% success for patients that suffer from ventricular tachycardia. #QSQ #ablateVT
“Question the Status Quo” is more than a title. It’s a mindset for progress in VT ablation. Grateful to discuss the newest insights in EP with @DrRoderickTung on Heart Rhythm TV at APHRS/JHRS 2025.

President Trump says it perfectly. A patchwork of 50 different state systems creates a maze of conflicting regulations, resulting in chaos. Follow me to join the conversation on leading the AI revolution.

Periaortic VT has become the most common type that we see. Perhaps it is referral bias, confirmation bias, or a new biological evolution of arrhythmia substrates. MRI often fails to identify the substrate. ICE has been a game changer over the past decade. #ablateVT
ICE-detected wall thinning is a novel method to identify arrhythmogenic periaortic substrate as an adjunct & alternative to #CMR. The absence of LGE on CMR does not rule out presence of periaortic substrate in pts presenting w/ outflow tract VT https://t.co/AJ69XiG2CH

For scar-related VTs, the exit predicted from a vector-based #QRS algorithm often differs from the location where ablation terminates the VT. This is an important consideration for use of the QRS to guide VT ablation strategies. https://t.co/WYqqJr3cTI
