Had to get creative to removing a lead fragment retained after heart transplant. We “sistered” a decapolar catheter adjacent the lead and snared them together from above to allow for more traction and counter traction. Here’s the report!:

Fruitful learning to write up our personal experience with #CCM at Temple (now in JICE), and then a good time talking about some emerging data in CCM for VuMedi! Onward and upward to help HF patients! .

HRS is the ultimate chance to cross pollinate. I just love it. #HRS2023 This event is a chance to learn about CCM, which is what we need for patients who don’t qualify for CRT, but are still suffering.

Moving on from #CCM Smart, and now onto #CCM Mini! I always feel excited anticipation for the follow-up visit after implant. Just saw two #CCMrecipients B2B in clinic yest., one still in disbelief (3m out), and one embracing her new life (2y out). #electroceuticals @TempleCards

Very well-versed and very well prepared, @msdmsdoms just presented his work in the Featured Science Session at #AHA22 - certain genetic mutations may increase one’s vulnerability to COVID-related myocarditis. Whoa. @TempleCards @my_helix

At #AHA, learning and teaching about #CCM. Because CCM therapy is both relatively new and helps patients, I find it exciting to share with fellows, like @edwardhortonmd. @TempleCards @ModulateHF @EPOverlord

Blacks were less likely to be prescribed A/C, and in follow up, more likely to have stroke AND bleed. Not so much paradoxical as it is evidence that disparities have many layers. @UREssien @gregorymmarcus.
Dr. Isaac Whitman (@docwhitman) offered insight to @namesjules for a @Healthline story about a @JAMACardio study which found Black pts hospitalized w/ AFib are less likely to be prescribed anticoagulant meds/more likely to experience worse health outcomes

Placing a PPM is one thing, but AVOIDING inelegant basic programming is ALSO a thing! @narrowQRS painstakingly doing the visual arithmetic on the relationship between AVD, PVARP, UTR, and TARP. Our fellows are so lucky! @TempleEP @TempleCards
