Couldn’t have said it better @DrMarthaGulati #Perseverance #Hunger #Inspiration #Hard Work @YaacoubC @Ahmadkassar7 @nadiachamoun @RomanosHaykal @MdYasiri
When you meet an IMG, ask them about their road travelled. It is not easy for any of them. Their resilience is what makes it look easy. #admiration @WilliamZoghbi

Our latest paper from the DECAAF2 trial. Lesion 🎯 delivered ≠ scar 🪲formed in RF ablation. Wonder if PFA would yield different results🤔 @nmarrouche @MekhaelMario @bisbal_EP #DECAAF2 @HRSonline @uwmnewsroom
