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

Car wouldn’t start, Lyft had almost no gas in the tank and it was cold and raining outside, but I still made it to get my COVID vaccine this am! Very grateful to @vadurham for helping me keep my patients and community safe. #DVAMC

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.

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.

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.
