Indexed RV volumes can miss dilation, esp at extremes of body size. In JACC Advances📊, we show that relative RV size (RV/LV volume ratio) improves detection of RV dilation & predicts mortality in TR🫀. 🔗 https://t.co/9GwOVKx7YY

Our paper in the August issue of @InvasiveCardiol IVBT is effective for multilayer ISR at 1-year follow up. 🔑 diligent imaging to eval morphology 📷 stepwise lesion prep prior to IVBT delivery. TLR at 1 year 10.9% - slightly improved when compared to previously reported data
📖 Read the August issue now! https://t.co/KHKY72dR6U

So many feelings! Grateful to amazing collaborators, authors, editors, & others. We are excited for you to read this incredible piece from a vanguard authorship group! A great example of the type of INTERSECTIONS of disciplines and ideas that can stimulate discourse & innovation!
The inaugural article in @JCFINT takes a fresh look at the intersection of EP + HF through the lens of AFFIRM 📌 56% of AF patients had HFpEF ⚠️ Rhythm control with Class Ic/sotalol ↑ mortality in HFpEF ✅ Amiodarone showed safer profile 🔗 https://t.co/JvhLZ5pSnM
