Debbe McCall Jonathan Piccini, MD, MHS Dr. John Day Dr. Kevin Campbell, MD, FACC, MBA We would do better by working harder to have more women in EP so we aren’t mansplaining the issue of Afib in women.

Much greater attention plus much more participation in clinical trials on AF urgently needed. #WAFib2018

#WAFib2018Q1” Audience 2: Assertive is generational. Women communicate differently. Jonathan Piccini, MD, MHS - make sure all the bases are covered. Audience 3: How can screening help those patients? Dr. Kevin Campbell, MD, FACC, MBA : wearables are huge. Helps them engage. Push/pull data.

Women clearly underrepresented in AF diagnostics and treatment #WAFib2018

Getting ready for #EPLive2018
