Back from 3 days in gorgeous Rome as faculty & lecturer for the “EHRA Advanced AF Ablation course”. Great to represent @LiverpoolEP and meet so many AF enthusiasts from around Europe! I feel I learned as much from this stellar faculty as the delegates did! #alwayslearning

Last day as an EP Clinical Research Fellow at @LiverpoolEP. Loved my time at @LHCHFT and will miss it dearly! Now just crossing my fingers for my PhD viva. Grateful to my supervisors @DhirajGuptaBHRS @vish_luther and @LiverpoolCCS and my friend and colleague Peter Calvert.

⚡️How do women and men differ after AF ablation? In our study of 69,000+ patients, women reported more cardiac, respiratory, GI, and neurological symptoms within 1 month. We discuss potential reasons & solutions. 📄 https://t.co/gf2MWsQP9D

This is good news👇 Pleased to see our publications from @LiverpoolEP used in these @NICEComms recommendations. @DrMarkMills @DhirajGuptaBHRS
Good news for people living with #AF in the UK: @NICEComms has recommended Pulsed Field Ablation #PFA as a safe and effective treatment for AF, a common heart rhythm condition that affects over 1.6 million people in England. Learn more about PFA here: https://t.co/aXPxLwMuZY

🚨 New in Europace! 🚨 Our EHRA survey of vascular access in EP shows big variation 🌍 🔹 1 in 5 rarely use US guidance 🔹 60% use figure-of-8 sutures, 33% manual compression 🔹 VCDs rare 🔹 Anticoag & bed rest vary widely 📣 Time to standardise? 🔗

Should we adopt a mandatory waiting time post single-shot PFA PVI? Largest real world data, we show ¼ cases have an acutely reconnected vein post 3D remap #reversibleelectroporation Thanks @AbbottCardio for asking us @LiverpoolEP to lead on this study. Open access @hrs_journal👇
📣Just out online @hrs_journal *⃣ Another Important Finding from @DhirajGuptaBHRS @vish_luther 👉 Question: - What is the Acute residual PV conduction rate after single-shot PFA (aka 'Absence of first pass isolation') 📍Largest multicenter study to date using 3D-EAM #EPeeps

❓Is female sex a stroke risk modifier in AF? 📖 Female sex was removed from the CHA2DS2-VASc score in the 2024 ESC AF guidelines Our recent publication in @JAHA_AHA explores temporal trends in the association between sex and stroke https://t.co/aeIoKgeT5L

#EPeeps - tough case👇 ⚡️VF triggering pathway from CS diverticulum. Neck >5mm from PLV. 🥉Took 3 goes to get rid of it. Bumped each time - gave limited RF - back in 24hr. 🔥 Encircled neck (30W-20sec) with irrigated RF and its FINALLY gone! @LiverpoolEP

PFA can be performed under fluoro guidance or high-density mapping. ❓ But what about mapping with the Farawave catheter itself? 📝 We report the feasibility of this approach in @JICE_EP

Have a look at these ECGs 👀 What diagnosis comes to mind? We describe in @HRS_CaseReports, a fascinating case series of narrow complex post infarct VT 🤯 How does this happen and why? A short 🧵 1/x
Wow – 😮 Those 3 ECGs on the right panel show post-infarct Ventricular Tachycardia👇 But the QRS is too narrow…isn’t it🤔? It looks like SVT❗️ We @LiverpoolEP use detailed 3D/Ripple mapping @JNJMedTechUKIr to postulate the mechanism @HRS_CaseReports
