Great work lead by @DanFriedmanMD and @atwater_brett teasing out the details of what CRT addresses in LBBB.
Among patients with LBBB undergoing CRT, electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony were both required for the most favorable reverse remodeling and event free survival! @ZakLoringMD @DanFriedmanMD #AHAJournals

Thanks to @derek_c1 for taking the lead on this important project that started as a term paper for @CRTP_DukeSOM, became a presentation @HRSonline, and is now a full paper! I learned a lot about cost effectiveness modeling and am glad we could apply it to AF ablation. #EPeeps.
Wondering if AF ablation in HF is cost-effective? Check out our study in @CircOutcomes to find out more about the key factors that influence the value proposition of ablation. @ZakLoringMD @FudimMarat @noseworthypeter @DanMarkMD @JonPicciniSr @DCRINews

It’s been a privilege to have @atwater_brett as a mentor and look forward to continued collaboration in his exciting new role leading EP at @IHVInews. Congratulations Brett!.
@atwater_brett awesome leader in EP. Bittersweet virtual grand rounds reviewing his contributions to the field while @DukeHeartCenter. Will continue to partner and follow as he goes to lead the EP group @IHVInews @JonPicciniSr @coconnormd

Thanks to @BIOTRONIK_US for sponsoring this Saturday direction. We were able to get an LV lead down a great lateral branch. Unfortunately the prognosis is still poor for this patient.

Another piece in the LBBB cardiomyopathy puzzle.
Lots of patients have LBBB but not everyone goes on to drop their EF, so who will? If baseline LV diastolic filling time is <38% of the RR , the HR is 7! #EPeeps . Predicting the Development of Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fracti.

Does the optimal CRT pacing configuration change with exercise? Should pacing algorithms be more dynamic? Great study comparing activation patterns under physiologic stress from @atwater_brett, @schuyler_jones, and Dan Friedman @JElectrocardiol: #EPeeps.
