1. Today I presented the late breaking results of our clinical trial examining AF progression after catheter ablation. This was a long-term follow up of the CIRCA-DOSE population, a group of 356 patients randomised to Contact force RF or Cryoballoon PVI https://t.co/YI33uK2KgJ

CPR training can save lives years later, heroes in the family!
What a great story, both for this young man and his family, for man's best friend and for emergency services coaching his wife through CPR, leading to a happy ending. Go Ciorsti, great interview
