💥OUT NOW in JACC Journals #JACCCaseReports! 💥 Raising awareness of women's CV health (#CVDW) this month w/ (1) Penn Cardiology Grand Rounds w/Esther Kim & Dr. Merz Women's Heart Alliance (2) sharing our approach to #ACCFIT #AHAFIT training in #CVDW 👇🏾 bit.ly/PennMUCHACHA THREAD 1/4

Drs. scottdavidsolomon, Muthu Vaduganathan, Sergio V. Perrone et al. find benefits of sacubitril/valsartan (vs. valsartan) in #HFpEF appear to be amplified when initiated in high-risk window after hospitalization. Read their study, first presented at #AHA19 in #JACC. bit.ly/36BYkmQ

En FALLA CARDIACA 💔 estimar la tasa de filtrado glomerular (eTFG) con CISTATINA C predice MUERTE y HOSPITALIZACIÓN de una manera más precisa al compararla con la eTFG de CREATININA Cardiorenal Med 2020 DOI: 10.1159/000504084

"It's so easy to get vaccinated. Viruses don't mutate if they can't replicate, and you can prevent them from replicating by vaccinating enough people so that the virus has nowhere to go," Dr. Anthony Fauci said. trib.al/QqMslZD

Just a sample of what ⁦Brigham EP⁩ will be contributing to #HRS2025 this year. So proud of all the faculty, fellows, and allied professionals that are committed to our academic mission. ⁦Usha Tedrow⁩ ⁦Paul Zei⁩ ⁦Bruce Koplan⁩ ⁦⁦Victor Nauffal⁩

Huge congratulations Andres F. Miranda-Arboleda for an outstanding lineup of presentations at #HRS2025! From epicardial access to AF ablation and VT in ARVC. Well deserved and looking forward to it! Brigham EP

We found significant heating of PFA electrodes. Way more than expected for “non-thermal” energy. Irrigation greatly reduced it. Irrigation of Pulsed Field Ablation Electrodes Mitigates Joule Heating and Heat Stacking Phenomena | JACC: CEP jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Great hands-on session yesterday; visualizing PFA and RFA lesions while breaking down the biophysics behind them! Huge congratulations to Johnson & Johnson MedTech | Electrophysiology for organizing it. Don’t miss the next one, it’s a must! William H. Sauer, MD Nathaniel Steiger #EPtraining #CardioTwitter

Here is a link to the paper we wrote up demonstrating the importance of electrode cooling for PFA, even though the mechanism for ablation is "non-thermal." Inadequate electrode cooling could lead to char, especially if passive cooling is impaired. authors.elsevier.com/a/1l82g,siTgod…

It’s that season again! Thank you to the Brigham EP Fellows for another great year… and congratulations on graduation for Andres F. Miranda-Arboleda Erik Andrews and XiaoXiao Qian William H. Sauer, MD #EPeeps Brigham and Women's Hospital

Incredibly thankful to my very supportive team #Pitchers and inspiring mentors for an amazing year of the mentoring circles program! 🙌 Kudos to Brigham and Women’s Postdoctoral Association and Brigham and Women’s Research for making it happen.

Aside from research, we have this absolute legend! 🇲🇽 I hope to see him win in Rome! 🏛️

Visible Arcing Observed with Pulsed Field Ablation Applications Delivered Near a Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Device - Heart Rhythm heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-…

Here is the video of PFA delivered near a LAA occlusion device

Benchtop in vitro models for studying PFA can be challenging because living tissue is required to assess electroporation effects. In this paper we describe an accelerated staining protocol to assist in PFA research and education. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This improved staining bench-top PFA model speeds lesion visualization; great for teaching and quick iteration. #PFA #Electrophysiology #JICE_EP

Worth factoring in: what are the safety implications of this phenomenon in the clinical setting? HeartRhythm #CardioTwitter #PFA #EPeeps

We’ve seen this phenomenon with all PFA catheters delivering energy on or very near to exposed metal. Stay tuned for a more thorough evaluation to be published in the near future. Daniel Campos, MD, MSc
