Virginia lawmakers' surprise compromise on guns axios.com/local/richmond… This is great news for the people of Virginia. Great work Alfonso Lopez!

We were pleased for @IHVInews to follow Pugal Vijayaraman as the second worldwide site to use the Abbott CPS Locator 3D catheter to implant a 2088TC lead in LB area. Pacing while turning the lead is great! Could feel a pop as it approached the LVS with sudden QRS transition.#EPeeps

We are excited to share our @IHVInews 2022 Outcomes Report. Proud of our outstanding performance and commitment to excellence in this year with high patient volume and acuity. Christopher O'Connor bit.ly/41fwppa

Interesting study on cortisone & QT. Corticosteroids are a known trigger for #Afib, yet still a lot to learn RE interactions with conduction & heart rhythm #EPeeps Journal of Electrocardiology Adrian Baranchuk MD FACC FRCPC FCCS FSIAC Brett Atwater sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Journal of Electrocardiology

We are thrilled to announce a transformational gift of $75 million from Dwight and Martha Schar to Inova Heart and Vascular. Their #philanthropic gift will support the future development of services, promoting wellness, and delivering outstanding care. inovanewsroom.org/press-release/…

Excited to announce that @IHVInews President Christopher O'Connor will receive the HFSA Distinguished Leadership Award celebrating his contributions to Heart Failure Education & Mentorship We are fortunate to benefit from his leadership and congratulate him on this well deserved honor

This has been a great week for new technology @IHVInews. Our first @BiosenseWebster #qDOT PAF case achieved first pass PVI with only 4 min and 53 seconds of RF and 107mL of fluid used. This tech should make AF ablation safer and available to even more patients!

The team @IHVInews performed the first Abbott #TACTIFLEX a fib ablation in the DMV this week! Thanks to a great partnership we can now more safely and efficiently treat a fib for our patients.

A large, rigorous study published in JAMA last year found no association between autism and #acetaminophen use in pregnancy after accounting for heritability. Read this new interview with the study’s senior author about the findings. #paracetamol ja.ma/3KOFHWe

Today we enrolled our first subject in #ELEVATE HFpEF Inova Schar Heart and Vascular! The study is exploring whether physiological pacing @ a personalized #myPACE lower rate improves outcomes in patients with HFpEF already on GDMT. We are thrilled to get started! Medtronic
