Excellent article by RanaAwdishMD and colleagues about “never words” — phrases we shouldn’t say to patients with serious illness. Here are a few of my favorites:

Use of synchronized single atrial extrastimulus during macroreentrant circuits to assess 3D location participation. Searched literature described use as early as 1992 by Dr. Josephson et al. Repurposing technique as, Reset Extrastimulus Mapping, an "In or Out" applied #EnSite

Time to mask up again...

Some interesting nuances here including the inclusion of thromboembolism and glucose lowering therapy. Further clarification on complex aortic atherosclerosis. These factors were not as clearly defined in CHADS VASc. #MedTwitter #CardioTwitter #EPeeps

No role for empiric PWI in persistent AF: Long term outcomes at median 3.6 years from #CAPLA presented #ESCCongress ⁦Prash Sanders⁩ ⁦David Chieng⁩

Incredible time to be an #EPeeps because of all the new technology relating to #CSP / #PFA and in this particular case, the impact of PFA on challenging arrhythmia substrate. Not to mention, these beautiful CT scans look like MRI LGE images!

This makes sense! I'd go as far to say they don't need aggressive GDMT in the first place but rather first line aggressive rhythm control.

Well said: "[P]ulmonary vein triggers may be responsible for initiating some, but likely not all, of AFL and AF episodes in these patients. For patients with isolated typical AFL, further investigation is necessary to determine in whom a prophylactic PVI may be justified."

And it unfortunately remains clear that we still don't know where/what to ablate for persistent AF after PVI.

Why is UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage allowed to harm Medicare patients by delaying a hip replacement - for someone in so much pain they’ve become wheelchair bound - 2 weeks for prior authorization when a hip replacement is a covered service under Medicare?

“Abortion bans will kill women” was never hysterical, hyperbolic, or fear-mongering. It was simply a fact. This is one of the first stories of a death that could have been prevented had the gov’t not gotten between a woman & her doctor - but it will absolutely not be the last.
